WASHINGTON, Dec. 3 (Xinhua) — U.S. President Donald Trump proposed on Wednesday easing federal fuel economy rules for passenger car manufacturers.
"We are officially repealing Joseph Biden's CAFE (Corporate Average Fuel Economy) standards," he said at a White House press conference.
The industry average for passenger cars and light trucks in 2031 will be about 34.5 miles per gallon (14.7 kilometers per liter), up from the 50.4 mpg (21.4 kilometers per liter) set by the Biden administration, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) said.
This move will lower costs for American consumers, protect American auto jobs and make cars much more affordable for American families, Trump said.
Current standards set by the previous administration go far beyond the requirements enacted by Congress, the Department of Transportation announced on Wednesday. The agency noted that the president's proposal would save Americans $109 billion over the next five years and reduce the average cost of a new car by $1,000.
After the proposal is published in the federal register, the public will have 45 days to submit comments. The date for public hearings will be announced later, the Ministry of Transport stated.
