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

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

Electric vehicles (EVs) play an important role helping automakers keep in compliance with the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) emissions standards. EVs generate copious credits because they do not produce tailpipe emissions and are not charged for their upstream emissions, scoring an automatic zero on their performance tests.

The US state of California has been granted a waiver request enabling it to enforce its own greenhouse gas emissions standard for new cars starting with the current model year. The end point of the two standards in 2016 is roughly the same - the MY2016 new vehicle fleet is approximately 243g/CO2 per mile, around 36.6mpg.

California will meet its 2030 climate targets more than three decades late, in 2061, and could be more than 100 years late in meeting its 2050 target if the average rate of emissions reductions from the past year hold steady, according to a new study tracking more than a decade of environmental and economic indicators in the state.

Mercedes-Benz is introducing a new family of diesel engines, starting with the new all-aluminum four-cylinder OM 654, which will make its world premiere in the new E-Class E 220 d in spring 2016. In our opinion, the diesel engine is indispensable in trucks and cars if we want to further reduce the CO 2 emissions from traffic.

Federal emissions and fuel economy regulations have been instrumental in encouraging (or coercing) automakers to produce EVs, and to make their legacy vehicles cleaner. So, the EPA traditionally has used the Clean Air Act to reduce emissions from the transportation sector. Q&A with former EPA exec Margo Oge.
