In a triumph for clean air, automakers and the federal government agreed to require that cars average 54.5 miles per gallon by 2025.
The rules, expected at the end of 2011, would mark the first major gain since 1975.
When fully implemented, they could cut oil use by 2.2 million barrels a day— nearly half what the U.S. imports from OPEC.
The Obama administration also issued the first-ever fuel economy standards for large trucks and buses, requiring a 20% cut in greenhouse gas emissions from heavy trucks by 2018.
EDF played a critical role in both cases.
We helped pass the 2002 California law that provided the foundation for strong new national auto standards.
And our work with major engine manufacturers has helped spur new technologies for more efficient and less polluting trucks.
