Trump administration finalizes rule to reduce fuel efficiency standards for cars

The US Department of Transportation has finalized a rule to weaken fuel efficiency standards for vehicles, marking a significant rollback of Biden-era regulations. This action prevents the fleet average fuel economy from reaching the previously targeted 50.4 miles per gallon by model year 2031. The administration describes this as one of the largest deregulatory measures under the second Trump administration.
