Fuel Economy

据《纽约时报》报道,加州总检察长联合二十余州于本周提起联邦诉讼,试图阻止特朗普政府近期通过的燃油经济性新规。新规将二零三零年新车队平均燃油经济性目标下调近三成,被汽车制造商视为利好但遭到环保组织与民主党州猛烈批评。诉讼核心争议在于联邦政府是否拥有在加州已获豁免权领域单方面收紧标准的权力,案件预计将进入最高法院审理阶段。

The New York Times reports that the Trump administration and Transportation Secretary Duffy have unveiled the “Freedom Means Affordable Cars” initiative, sharply rolling back fuel economy standards for new vehicles. The new rule significantly reduces automakers’ mandatory emissions and fuel-efficiency obligations, and is being framed by environmental groups, California’s Air Resources Board and several automakers as a major reversal of US climate policy that is likely to trigger legal challenges and industry-wide ripple effects.
