US Transportation Department rolls back fuel economy standards
Original: DOT rolls back fuel economy standards
The US Department of Transportation is moving to weaken federal fuel economy standards, easing efficiency requirements for automakers. The rollback reverses stricter rules aimed at cutting gasoline consumption and emissions, and is drawing criticism from environmental groups while being welcomed by parts of the auto industry that argued the prior targets were too costly to meet.
Why now: The policy shift has major implications for emissions, gas prices and car costs, sparking debate between environmental advocates and industry.
