  • Today an international icon passed away: former U. S. President Jimmy Carter died at the age of 99. His impact shall be remembered well, including on the auto industry.

The article from Forbes, titled "The Death Of A Legend: How Jimmy Carter Influenced The Auto Industry," discusses the significant impact former U.S. President Jimmy Carter had on the automotive sector. Despite not being directly involved in the industry, Carter's policies and actions during his presidency from 1977 to 1981 had lasting effects. His administration's focus on energy conservation led to the introduction of the Corporate Average Fuel Economy (CAFE) standards, which mandated higher fuel efficiency for vehicles, pushing manufacturers towards smaller, more efficient cars. Additionally, Carter's deregulation efforts, including the Motor Carrier Act of 1980, opened up the trucking industry, indirectly affecting automotive logistics and distribution. His push for alternative energy sources also influenced the early stages of electric vehicle research and development. The article reflects on how these initiatives, although controversial at the time, set the stage for future advancements in automotive technology and environmental considerations in vehicle manufacturing.
