U.S. Transportation Secretary Sean P. Duffy announced on Monday that the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) has submitted the interpretive rule titled “Resetting the Corporate Average Fuel Economy Program (CAFE)” to the Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs for review. This submission marks a step toward revising the previous administration’s interpretation of CAFE standards.
“Under President Trump’s leadership, we are making life more affordable with cars made in America again. The Biden-Buttigieg administration illegally used CAFE standards as a backdoor electric vehicle mandate – driving the price of cars up. Resetting CAFE standards as Congress’ intended will lower vehicle costs and ensure the American people can purchase the cars they want,” said U.S. Transportation Secretary Sean P. Duffy.
