US to scale back tougher vehicle emissions regulations – report

AutoExec Summary
The US Government is set to introduce less strict emissions regulations next month, as demand for electric vehicles (EVs) cools and carmakers and unions push back against the original targets. The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) had proposed a 56 per cent reduction in fleet emissions by 2032, based on EV sales reaching 60 per cent of the new vehicle market by 2030 – a figure now unlikely to be reached. The change is supported by the United Auto Workers (UAW) union and ‘legacy’ carmakers, who have urged President Biden to water down the EV sales target.
