Carmakers want emission, CAFE tweaks, not huge rollbacks, but won't say so publicly
As promised, the Trump administration has embarked on regulatory rollbacks across many fronts, some immediate and others taking longer.
It remains unclear whether the EPA's plan to loosen carbon-dioxide emission limits for 2022 through 2025 vehicles will survive inevitable court challenges.
However, despite shrill rhetoric from environmental groups, automakers in general—especially the Detroit Three—don't want those standards tossed out the window.
They might like to see them delayed, and some minor technical details adjusted to provide more credit for specific technologies.
But they do not want, nor have they lobbied for, wholesale abolition of carbon-emission rules and corporate average fuel economy limits, overseen by the EPA and NHTSA, respectively.
