CAFE (Corporate Average Fuel Economy) standards

Corporate Average Fuel Economy (CAFE) standards are regulations in the United States aimed at improving the fuel efficiency of cars and trucks. They require manufacturers to achieve a certain average miles-per-gallon (MPG) for the vehicles they sell. The goal is to reduce reliance on fossil fuels, decrease greenhouse gas emissions, and promote energy independence. By setting these efficiency benchmarks, CAFE standards encourage automakers to innovate and produce vehicles that use less fuel, ultimately benefiting consumers and the environment.
