Seeking To Retain Vehicle GHG Rules, New Group Signals Auto Sector Split

摘要

A new industry coalition including automakers, utilities and equipment manufacturers is urging the Trump administration to retain Obama-era light-duty vehicle greenhouse gas and fuel economy rules through model year 2025, raising prospects for an industry split because other automakers have been eying softer requirements. The new group, the National Coalition for Advanced Transportation (NCAT), has not yet announced its members, but it is already weighing in with comments on early efforts by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) to develop corporate average fuel economy (CAFE) rules for MY22-25 and potentially weaken final standards for MY21.
