Duffy also shared that Americans were holding on to older cars because prices were high for newer vehicles. \"The average age of a car on American roads is 13 years old,\" Duffy said.\nTalking about the new Corporate Average Fuel Economy standards rolled back by President Donald Trump, Duffy hailed it as a move that would enhance \"customer choice and vehicle options\" and drive down costs by $1,000 on a new car, as well as lead to more jobs and investments. \n\"This initiative is going to let the automakers build the innovative cars of the future that families want,\" Duffy said. The decision was hailed by Ford Motor Co. (NYSE:F) CEO Jim Farley, who reaffirmed investment in American-made cars following the relaxation of the CAFE norms.\nHe also shared that the policies forced automakers to make cars for maximum regulatory benefits, which came at the price of optionality and style, Duffy said. He added that the DOT's \"Freedom Means Affordable Cars initiative is going to enhance safety on America's roadways,\" Duffy said, touting \"anti-crash\" technology, but did not elaborate on the matter.\nThe news comes as Trump recently approved regulations that would allow manufacturers to produce smaller cars, like the ‘Kei' car segment in Japan, in the U.S., citing cars made by companies like Toyota Motor Corp (NYSE:TM) and Honda Motor Co. Ltd. (NYSE:HMC) in Japan and South Korea, touting the vehicles as a \"really cute\" affordable option for consumers.\nOn the other hand, California Governor Gavin Newsom (D) criticized the administration's decision to roll back CAFE norms, saying that the decision would result in China outpacing the U.S. in EVs and would result in average Americans paying more for fuel.\nCheck out more of Benzinga’s Future Of Mobility coverage by following this link.\nRead Next:\nPhoto courtesy: Joshua Sukoff / Shutterstock.com","kind":"highlight","is_publish_news":true,"is_publish_highlight":false,"is_publish_live":false,"is_publish_wemedia":null,"editions":null,"column":"","sentiment":"0","news_tag":"","news_rank":0,"symbols":[],"gpt_button":0,"need_auth":false,"code":"91000000","status":"200"},"commentList":[],"isCommentEnd":true,"newsSizeData":{"likeSize":0,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"favoriteSize":0,"likeStatus":false,"favoriteStatus":false},"APP":{"userAgent":"Mozilla/5.0 AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko; compatible; ClaudeBot/1.0; +claudebot@anthropic.com)","isDev":false,"isTTM":true,"deviceId":"web-server-community-laohu8-v3","version":"4.35.10","shortVersion":"4.35.10","platform":"web","vendor":"web","appName":"ttm","isIOS":false,"isAndroid":false,"isTiger":false,"isTHS":false,"isWeiXin":false,"isWeiXinMini":false,"isWeiBo":false,"isQQ":false,"isBaiduSwan":false,"isBaiduBox":false,"isDingTalk":false,"isToutiao":false,"isOnePlus":false,"isHuaWei":false,"isXiaomi":false,"isXiaomiWebView":false,"isOppo":false,"isVivo":false,"isSamsung":false,"isMobile":false},"href":"/m/news/2590392192","isCrawlerRequest":true}
