According to CoinMeta, the Trump administration plans to relax the emission standards set during the Biden era. The new fuel economy standards will reduce regulatory requirements for automobile manufacturers to control pollution from gasoline-powered cars and light trucks. Trump stated on social media that the relaxed mileage requirements will “eliminate waste in car manufacturing in the United States” and save families “thousands of dollars.” According to predictions by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, the new standards will bring the average fuel consumption of light vehicles to about 34.5 miles per gallon by 2031, which is lower than the 50.4 miles per gallon set by the Biden administration. This move further fulfills Trump’s commitment to reverse policies that encouraged electric vehicle production. Environmentalists strongly oppose this, arguing that the final rules ignore the feasibility of clean technologies.
