The U.S. Department of Transportation is revising fuel economy standards to make cars more affordable for Americans

The Energy Policy and Conservation Act (EPCA) of 1975 directs the Secretary of Transportation and the NHTSA to prescribe average fuel economy standards for vehicles.

“Under President Trump ’s leadership, we are making vehicles more affordable and easier to manufacture in the United States . Resetting CAFE standards as Congress intended will lower vehicle costs and ensure the American people can purchase the cars they want,” DOT says.
