The United States tightens car emissions standards to boost electric vehicles. The new standards concern light and medium vehicles built from 2027 until 2032.
The administration does not set a precise quota of clean vehicles for sale, but gradually restricts the average annual emissions authorized for each manufacturer. The auto industry welcomed the announcement. Some experts have nevertheless accused the government of having given in to pressure from industry. The American Petroleum Institute (API), representing the oil sector, even threatened to take legal action against the new regulations.
