The U.S. Department of Transportation released tailpipe pollution standards that will require cars and light trucks to significantly increase how far they can travel on a gallon of gasoline.
The regulation finalizes the Biden administration’s reversal of the approach taken under the Trump administration, which in 2020 weakened standards set during the Obama years. The new rule requires the nation’s automakers to increase fuel efficiency fleetwide by 8 percent starting late next year, another 8 percent the year after and 10 percent the following year.
Some environmental advocates said the administration needed to go further to meet its own climate goals, while oil-producing states, led by Texas, are seeking to overturn a companion rule issued by the Environmental Protection Agency in December. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration and the EPA share responsibility for overseeing the standards, and both agencies were required act for them to take effect.
The rule will be accompanied by voluminous backup documentation, including cost-benefit and environmental-impact analyses that show the complexities of reducing emissions from gas-powered vehicles even as the auto industry pledges to sharply increase its sales of electric vehicles. The 49 mile-per gallon average required under NHTSA’s rule is slightly higher than what the agency proposed in August. That figure is based on laboratory testing and overstates performance in the real world, according to the EPA.Reflecting colder temperatures, faster driving and the use of air conditioning, the EPA says under its rule that consumers of new model year 2026 vehicles would see an average of 40 miles per gallon, compared with 32 miles per gallon under the Trump rules.
