Biden Admin Wants 58 MPG Fuel Efficiency Standard By 2032<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

The Biden administration on Friday announced a proposal to require raising fuel economy standards to 58 miles per gallon<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

The proposal, from the Department of Transportation’s National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), would aim for a respective 2% annual increase for passenger cars, and a 4% increase in light trucks’ Corporate Average Fuel Economy (CAFE) standards for 2027 – 2032 models, and would require 2030 – 2035 “heavy-duty pickup trucks and vans” to boost fuel economy by 10% per year.<\/p>\n

“If finalized as proposed, the updated standards would save Americans hundreds of dollars at the pump,” reads a NHTSA press release<\/a>. “all while making America more energy secure and less reliant on foreign oil.”<\/p>\n

CAFE requirements are not as stringent as an Environmental Protection Agency proposal<\/strong> in April to cut vehicle tailpipe emissions. NHTSA is barred by law from considering electric vehicles fuel economy in setting standards.<\/em><\/p>\n

The EPA said its proposed 2027-2032 standards would cut emissions by 56%<\/strong>, or 13% annual average pollution cuts and result in 67% of new vehicles in 2032 being electric.<\/em><\/p>\n

NHTSA estimates its proposal would cut gasoline consumption by 88 billion gallons through 2050<\/strong>. –Reuters<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n

The NHTSA also estimates $18 billion of “combined benefits” would be realized as a result.<\/p>\n

The rule, according to the agency, “will encourage manufacturers producing (internal combustion engine) vehicles during the standard-setting timeframe to achieve significant fuel economy, improve energy security, and reduce harmful pollution by a large amount.”<\/p>\n

The NHTSA is seeking comment on five alternatives, ranging from not hiking requirements to raising them annually by 6% for cars and 8% for light trucks.<\/p>\n

The Alliance for Automotive Innovation which represents GM, Toyota, Volkswagen and others has asked the EPA to soften its emissions proposal, calling it “neither reasonable nor achievable.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
