Trump EPA targets car stop-start systems

The Trump administration's Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has proposed a rollback of fuel efficiency standards that could impact car stop-start systems, which automatically shut off the engine when the vehicle is idling to save fuel and reduce emissions.
