What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

A group representing General Motors, Toyota, Volkswagen, and other major automakers backed the Trump administration in a legal challenge. The challenge opposes lower vehicle fuel economy standards proposed by California and other states. The automakers argued that if the standards were set aside, it would endanger capital investment planning and product development for new US models.

Why it matters

Some supportBrind's analysis of the reports

The legal dispute centers on the US Transportation Department's plan to finalize a fleet-wide fuel economy average of 34.9 miles per gallon by 2031, a reduction from the 50.4 miles per gallon standard approved previously. The automakers stated they require certainty and stability in these standards to affect their business.
