"拯救"燃油车？特朗普宣布拟大幅放宽油耗标准

Core Viewpoint - The Trump administration's proposal to significantly relax Corporate Average Fuel Economy (CAFE) standards is expected to reshape the U.S. automotive market, moving from a target of approximately 50 miles per gallon set by the Biden administration to a new target of about 34 miles per gallon by 2031 [1][2]. Group 1: Policy Changes - The core of the policy adjustment is the substantial reduction of future CAFE standards, which have been tightened since their implementation in 1975 to encourage manufacturers to produce more fuel-efficient vehicles [2]. - The new regulation is part of a series of actions by the Trump administration aimed at rolling back pollution regulations, with the automotive industry expressing support for the new standards [2]. Group 2: Market Demand and Affordability - Supporters of the plan argue that relaxing fuel efficiency standards is based on realistic business considerations and will help address the ongoing concern of vehicle affordability in the industry [3]. - Many officials, including U.S. dealers, believe the new standards align better with consumer preferences for vehicle types, rather than forcing manufacturers to produce more expensive vehicles under regulatory pressure [4]. - The average purchase price of new cars in the U.S. is around $50,000, and the new regulations are claimed to enhance vehicle affordability [4]. Group 3: Impact on Electric Vehicle Market - Analysts suggest that the Trump administration's actions will create a new market environment that could pose challenges for companies focused on electric vehicles, such as Tesla [5].
