The U.S. government proposed raising the fuel economy standards of new vehicles by 18% to average 43.5 miles per gallon by the 2032 model year.
and others said requirements from the agencies should be lined up. "If an automaker complies with EPA's yet-to-be-finalized greenhouse gas emissions rules, they shouldn't be at risk of violating CAFE rules and subject to civil penalties," John Bozzella, CEO of the Alliance for Automotive Innovation, said in a statement.
However the alliance has said the EPA's proposed cut in carbon emissions will require a huge increase in electric vehicle sales that's not attainable by 2032. The EPA says the industry can reach the greenhouse gas emissions goals if 67% of new vehicles sold in 2032 are electric. Currently, EVs make up about 7% of new vehicle sales.
NHTSA said its proposal includes a 2% annual improvement in fuel mileage for passenger cars, and a 4% increase for light trucks. It's proposing a 10% improvement per year for commercial pickup trucks and work vans. Automakers can meet the requirements with a mix of electric vehicles, gas-electric hybrids and efficiency improvements in gas and diesel vehicles.
The agency says the new regulations will save more than $50 billion on fuel over the vehicles' lifetimes and save more than 88 billion gallons of gasoline through 2050 if NHTSA's preferred alternative is adopted. The standards would cut new-vehicle fuel consumption nearly in half by the 2035 model year, and benefits will exceed costs by $18 billion, the agency said.
