CAFE standards

CAFE standards, or Corporate Average Fuel Economy standards, are regulations set by the U.S. government to improve the average fuel efficiency of cars and trucks. The goal is to reduce fuel consumption and lower greenhouse gas emissions, which helps combat climate change. Automakers must meet specific fuel economy targets for their fleets, encouraging them to produce vehicles that use less fuel. By promoting more efficient vehicles, CAFE standards aim to save energy, decrease reliance on oil, and protect the environment, all while ensuring that consumers have access to vehicles that are both economical and environmentally friendly.
