特朗普给油车送大礼！“松绑”美国汽车燃油效率标准

Group 1 - President Trump announced the rollback of fuel efficiency standards set by the Biden administration, claiming it artificially raised new car costs and would reduce prices for consumers by at least $1,000 [1] - The Biden administration's standards required an average fuel economy of approximately 49 miles per gallon for 2026 models, with annual improvements of 8% for 2024-2025 models and 10% for 2026 models [2] - The Trump administration proposed to restore average fuel economy to 2022 model standards, requiring only a 0.5% annual increase until 2026, leading to an expected average fuel efficiency of 34.5 miles per gallon by 2031 [3] Group 2 - Reactions to the new standards were mixed, with Ford's CEO praising the alignment of standards with market realities, while GM's CEO highlighted the previous requirement for a significant percentage of electric vehicles [4] - Critics argue that the previous standards could save Americans $23 billion in fuel costs and reduce national fuel consumption by 70 billion gallons [4] - Environmental organizations criticized the new regulations, stating that weakening clean car standards would allow manufacturers to produce less fuel-efficient and more polluting vehicles, potentially costing consumers an additional $35 billion at the pump [5]
