  3. Environmental groups sued over Trump’s new fuel-economy rules, which lower the 2031 target from 50.4 mpg to about 34.9 mpg. With fuel prices already painful, America has apparently decided the solution is visiting gas stations more often. #FuelEconomy

  4. The Trump administration finalized weaker fuel-economy rules, dropping the 2031 target from 50.4 mpg to 34.9 mpg. During an oil shock. Nothing complements expensive gasoline quite like designing cars to need more of it. #FuelEconomy

  6. Motor Vehicles Fundamentals And Design by M.D. Artamonov; V.A. Ilarionov; M.M. Morin

    This book provides a systematic treatment of the theory of automobile engines and motor vehicles, beginning with the fundamental thermodynamic and combustion processes that govern internal-combustion engines. It examines theoretical and actual engine cycles, fuel combustion, engine efficiency, performance characteristics, fuel economy, and methods for increasing power and improving efficiency. The discussion also considers emerging engine technologies, including gas-turbine installations, supercharging, fuel injection, rotor-piston engines, multi-fuel engines, and electric motors.

    The second part focuses on the theory and performance of motor vehicles. It covers the forces acting on vehicles, traction and braking dynamics, fuel economy, stability, steerability, cross-country ability, smoothness of run, and transmission systems. Particular attention is given to the relationships between vehicle design, operating conditions, road characteristics, and performance, making the book useful for understanding both the engineering principles underlying motor vehicles and their practical behaviour under different operating conditions.

    Translated from the Russian by A. Troitsky

  8. Trump’s administration will finalize sharply LOWER fuel-economy standards for cars through 2031. Officials say cars will cost less, while acknowledging they’ll burn more fuel. During record fuel prices. Timing this exquisite usually requires professional training. #FuelEconomy

  9. Amelia Lucas reports that what if rolling back EV incentives saves families thousands? President Trump has approved new fuel economy standards that reverse the Biden administration's stricter policies intended to spur electric vehicle adoption. These changes loosen Corporate Average Fuel Economy rules for 2031, favoring profitable SUVs and trucks while reducing pressure on automakers to shift toward EVs. This move highlights the difficult policy trade-offs between immediate affordability and long-term climate goals.

  33. #US tells #automakers they face no #fueleconomy penalties for last three years
    Last year, #Stellantis paid $190.7 million in civil penalties for failing to meet fuel-economy targets for 2019 and 2020, and nearly $400 million for 2016 through 2019, Reuters noted. #GeneralMotors previously paid $128.2 million in penalties for 2016 and 2017. With no threat of penalties, automakers also have less incentive to buy compliance credits from other firms.

  37. Biden pulls back on tightened car and truck fuel standards
    "Under the rule, formally known as the Corporate Average #FuelEconomy standards, all light-duty vehicles overall must meet an average of 50.4 mpg in 2031, down from 55.7 mpg in last year’s proposal. The current average is 39.1 mpg.

    For SUVs and pickups, the requirement will be 45 mpg. That’s up from the 35.2 mpg they average now, but it’s less than the 52.2 mpg that the agency had proposed last year."
