EPA sends vehicle emissions reduction plan to White House for review

Reuters01-19

WASHINGTON, Jan 19 (Reuters) - The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency sent to the White House for review its proposal to finalize sweeping emissions cuts for new cars and trucks through 2032 that could drastically boost electric vehicle sales, a document made public Friday shows.

The EPA in April proposed requiring a 56% reduction in projected fleet average emissions over 2026 model year requirements.

Under the initial EPA proposal, automakers are forecast to produce 60% EVs by 2030 and 67% by 2032 to meet requirements. A group representing major automakers has called the EPA plan "neither reasonable nor achievable." The EPA plans to finalize its new emissions rules by March.
