What Is CAFE And How Does It Push Automakers To Improve Fuel Efficiency? - SlashGear

The article from SlashGear discusses the CAFÉ (Corporate Average Fuel Economy) standards, which are regulations set by the U.S. government to improve the fuel efficiency of vehicles produced by manufacturers. CAFÉ standards aim to reduce fuel consumption and greenhouse gas emissions by setting specific mileage targets that car companies must meet across their fleet of vehicles. The article explains how these standards have evolved over time, with initial regulations starting in 1975 in response to the 1973 oil crisis, and how they have become more stringent, pushing automakers to innovate and produce more fuel-efficient cars, including electric and hybrid vehicles. It also touches on the ongoing debates and adjustments to these standards under different administrations, reflecting the balance between environmental goals and economic considerations for the automotive industry.
