Greenhouse gas and fuel economy levels under the EPA NHTSA joint proposed rulemaking. These standards would require these vehicles to meet an estimated combined average emissions level of 250 grams/mile of CO 2 in model year 2016. NHTSA is proposing CAFE standards for passenger cars and light trucks under 49 U.S.C.

The US Department of Transportation’s (DOT) National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) and the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) issued a Notice of Intent (NOI) to begin developing new standards for greenhouse gases and fuel economy for light-duty vehicles for the 2017-2025 model years.

Their TWP approach extends the standard GWP calculation in two ways: by combining the effects of CH 4 and CO 2 emissions from technology-fuel combinations and by considering streams of emissions in addition to single pulses. —Alvarez et al. This would eventually be offset by a modest benefit.

When Congress passed the Clean Air Act, it never gave EPA the explicit authority to regulate greenhouse gas emissions for the purpose of stopping global climate change. The resulting set of new standards will cover model years 2012-2016, and will require an average fuel economy standard of 35.5

The US Environmental Agency (EPA) has granted California’s waiver request enabling the state to enforce its greenhouse gas emissions standards (Pavley I) for new motor vehicles, beginning with the current model year. The resulting new national standards will cover model years 2012-2016, and will require an average fuel economy standard of 35.5

By way of trans-Atlantic comparison, 95 g/km is equivalent to 152 g/mile; the current US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) greenhouse gas emissions standard (part of the joint national standard with NHSTA) calls for 250 g/mile in MY 2016. The proposed 2025 US standard would bring that down to 163 g/mile in MY 2025.
