The Minister of Transport, the Memorandum, who was appointed by the 47th US President, signed a memorandum that will allow the National Road Safety Management (NHTSA) to abandon the “new green course”. Under the last president, the standard of medium corporate fuel economy (CAFE) was supposed to amount to 4.67 liters per 100 kilometers by 2031; Now the bill is canceled.

Sean Duffy said that his decree cancels “burdensome and excessively restrictive fuel standards that, without the need, raised the cost of the car.” The new US Minister of Transport emphasized that Americans should not lose the variety and accessibility when choosing a new car. It is interesting that during the first presidency of Trump, the CAFE standard was valid, which implies an average fuel consumption of 6.36 liters per 100 kilometers.

Trump is ready to cooperate with auto giants from China, but on one condition in the USA, the former Ferrari Donald Trump will let American dealers dissatisfied with Biden’s policy through electric carriers

It is not yet clear whether the new administration will generally regulate the CAFE indicator for cars and light commercial machines. Sean Duffy made it clear that the desire to reduce fuel consumption does not correspond to true oil reserves in America and does not take into account the vulnerability of electric networks. The head of the US Ministry of Transport is also concerned about the idea of ​​American automakers to rely on foreign batteries for electric vehicles.

At the same time, Donald Trump canceled the strategy of total electrification: the share of electric cars in the US market will not increase up to 50 percent by 2030. Thus, the auto industry in North America changed a course by almost 180 degrees in just four years. Automobile manufacturers are concerned about the change of policy and ask the head of state to at least maintain tax benefits for electric vehicles.
