The Trump administration plans to announce new fuel economy standards for automobiles on Monday to ease regulatory requirements for gasoline passenger cars and light trucks. The US National Highway Traffic Safety Administration previously predicted that the new regulations would reduce the average fuel economy target for the 2031 young car industry to about 34.5 miles/gallon, lower than the 50.4 miles/gallon forecast under the Biden administration rules. Trump said that easing standards could reduce automobile manufacturing costs and lower the price of new cars. This adjustment continues the government's policy direction of weakening incentives and emission restrictions for electric vehicles. Previously, exhaust emission rules were relaxed, fines for car companies that did not meet fuel standards were lifted, and tax credits of up to 7,500 US dollars for electric vehicle purchases were terminated.
