The Biden administration on Friday proposed to hike fuel economy standards by 2032 to a fleet-wide average of 58 miles per gallon as it seeks to cut greenhouse gas emissions and reduce fuel use.
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration proposal, which covers the 2027 through 2032 model years, would boost Corporate Average Fuel Economy requirements by 2% per year for passenger cars and 4% per year for light trucks.
NHTSA in 2022 finalized rules for 2024-2026 requiring a fleet average of 49 mpg by 2026. The rules boosted efficiency requirements by 8% in 2024 and 2025 and 10% in 2026. NHTSA says the rule "will encourage manufacturers producing vehicles during the standard-setting timeframe to achieve significant fuel economy, improve energy security, and reduce harmful pollution by a large amount."
