US moves to repeal Biden administration vehicle fuel economy standards

The U.S. House of Representatives passed a bill on January 29, 2025, to repeal the Biden administration's stringent vehicle fuel economy standards, known as the Corporate Average Fuel Economy (CAFE) standards. These standards, set to increase fuel efficiency to an average of 58 miles per gallon by 2032, were aimed at reducing greenhouse gas emissions. The repeal, supported by Republican lawmakers, argues that these regulations would increase vehicle costs, potentially harm the U.S. auto industry, and limit consumer choice. Critics of the repeal, including environmental groups and some Democrats, contend that it would hinder efforts to combat climate change and could lead to higher fuel costs for consumers in the long run. The bill now moves to the Senate, where its future is uncertain given the Democratic majority.
