New American vehicles will need to get an average 54.5 miles per gallon under the updated Corporate Average Fuel Economy, or CAFE, standards that aim to save consumers money at the fuel pump and
History of US fuel economy standards. Congress first established Corporate Average Fuel Economy (CAFE) standards in 1975, largely in response to the 1973 oil embargo. CAFE standards set the average new vehicle fuel economy, as weighted by sales, that a manufacturer's fleet must achieve. Through the Energy Policy and Conservation Act of 1975
The Corporate Average Fuel Economy (CAFE) program establishes a phase-in of more stringent fuel economy standards beginning with 1975 model vehicles. The "first generation" catalytic converters are built, significantly reducing vehicle emissions.
This structure – covering a fleet instead of a more prescriptive standard for each vehicle – gave manufacturers flexibility in meeting the standards while accomplishing the goal of improved efficiency. Fuel economy roughly doubled from a fleetwide average of 13.4 mpg in 1973 to 27.5 mpg ten years later.
The CAFE (Corporate Average Fuel Efficiency) regulations aim to reduce the overall COx (Carbon Oxides) from the vehicle’s exhaust. The reduced carbon footprint leads to increased fuel economy. These regulations were first implemented on 1st April 2017 with BS4 exhaust emission norms. It was decided the highest carbon footprint allowed was
The 1975 Energy Policy Conservation Act added Title V, Improving Automotive Efficiency, to the Motor Vehicle Information and Cost Savings Act and established Corporate Average Fuel Economy (CAFE) standards for passenger cars and light-duty trucks (LDT). The Act, passed in response to the 1973-74 oil crisis, had a near term goal to double new
