The U.S operating car companies are required to qualify the stringent fuel efficiency standards through 2025. A fleet average of 54.5 MPG is required, but they are looking to decrease elements because the U.S President Trump is in town. Most leaders from Ford, Fiat Chrysler, Nissan, Honda, GM, VW, Toyota and Hyundai have forwarded a letter to President Trump asking to reconsider the option of Obama administration of locking the Fuel Efficiency Rules for coming several years. The car manufacturers need to revisit the midterm review to the year 2025 committed in loosening the demands. They indicated that strict requirements would increase costs and it would reflect negative effect on public buying and it would also freeze millions jobs.

Point to be noted that the Trump administration hasn’t yet responded to the letter. But, the nominee for the Environmental Protection Agency, Scott Pruitt also said that he will restore the decision of Obama administration and the entire arguments of automakers will not hold up. At the other hand, the EPA has estimated that the United States will fall short of efficiency achievements due to a change with regard to SUVs and Trucks, so the jobs are questionable. Most of them said, why it is essential to manufacture more fuel efficient vehicles instead pushing car manufacturing companies for betterment? Even a successful move to decrease guidelines of Fuel Efficiency Rules may reflect limited effects. All the above mentioned manufacturers are looking for much greater mainstream adoption of electric vehicles within next couple of years. They might qualify the expectations of Obama administration just by moving a number of vehicle owners from gas fuel.
