New one Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) proposal A landmark greenhouse can reopen the auto industry to cancel the gas search, which has so far had to follow strict emission guidelines.
EPA on 29 July Announced that it is planning To cancel a “danger discovery” since 2009, which has served as a legal and scientific basis for the regulation of the agency of greenhouse gas emissions in many industries including motor vehicles, power plants, oil and gas producers and aircraft. The proposal, which still needs to undergo a public comment period, focuses on the rules affecting the auto industry. If passed, it will cancel all greenhouse gas standards for light-medium and heavy-cost vehicles and heavy charges.
“With this proposal, Trump is proposing to eliminate 16 years uncertainty for EPA auto manufacturers and American consumers,” EPA Administrator Lee Zeldinstated in Announcement,
Harsh Standards For emissions and fuel efficiency introduced during the Obama administration and Extended during Biden administrationWhatever provided Liberal eV fundingIn recent years, many auto manufacturers have led many auto manufacturers to add electric vehicles to their fleet. Others, such as VolvoThings have taken one step forward and are completely committed to the future of electrical. But the landscape is shifting under President Trump, who has carried forward a delegulatory agenda.
Experts say that if this proposal passes, it will reduce the pressure on auto manufacturers to produce electric cars, allowing them to customize their mixture of EV and gas-operated vehicle offerings to meet the consumer’s demand.
Stephanie Brinley, a prominent motor vehicle analyst at S&P Global, said, “This gives auto manufacturers a little better capacity to produce vehicles in the market and make vehicles that now aligned more closely with the speed of electric adopting.”
John Bazela, Chairman and CEO Alliance for Automotive Innovation, which Represents Most of the US car manufacturers told CBS Manivatch in an email that the Trade Association was reviewing the announcement.
“At the same time,” he said, “There is no question that the final administration is finally not able to achieve vehicle emission rules and to reflect current market conditions, to keep the auto industry competitive in the US, and the industry must be revised to keep vehicles and low emissions.”
An EPA spokesperson said that the Congress never clearly gave EPA to implement the greenhouse gas rules for cars and trucks and that the agency proposal to find the crisis “does not prevent vehicle manufacturers from developing EV or various vehicles.”
Focus on consumer demand
Experts say that even a transfer regulatory landscape, consumer preference will continue to run the decisions of auto manufacturers.

Electric vehicle adopting rates have been stable over the last several years, although most Americans still fuel their cars at the pump. According to data on light vehicle registration of S&P Global Mobility, the demand for vehicles has exceeded the previous year. From January to May, the electric vehicle market share was 7.3%, compared to 8% for the entire year of 2024, data from the Auto Intelligence Provider show.
But when the consumer’s demand may stop slightly in the last one year, the auto manufacturers would still want to offer low-fasting products, so that they told CBS Manivach, director of Insights at the online car marketplace admonds, to remain competitive at home and abroad.
“Every auto manufacturer is a global competitor, and even though they are not selling here too, but they can sell better elsewhere,” he said.
Effect will take time
Experts say that if the proposal, if passed, will not change any close-term plans of auto manufacturers, which they have already invested in their product lines given time and money.
“If already a plan was planned to build an X number of such a vehicle, you can change it, but not necessarily tomorrow,” Brinal said. “So this plan is to be made.”
According to a report by the Global Research firm Eurasia Group, the product development cycle in car manufacturers extends from five to 10 years.
According to experts, the exact strategy and speed that change companies will vary from auto manufacturer to auto manufacturer. “For now, auto manufacturers will enjoy flexibility and low cost, especially in the plan of their non -enlightened fleet.”
There are concerns between some companies that the EPA proposal, if passed, will inject a degree of chaos in the industry, California San Diego University Professor David Victor told CBS Manivatch. In addition, the process of making rules will be challenged in courts, he said.
,[Auto makers] Soon there will never be a reliable new set of rules, “Victor said.
EPA is Catch A virtual public hearing on the rules proposed on 19-20 August, opened through 15 September with a public comment period.
