The US government has reduced fuel economy targets for light-duty vehicles to 34.9 mpg by 2031, down from the previous 50.4 mpg goal. This change follows Congress eliminating fines for non-compliance, which reduces costs for automakers and allows them to focus on more profitable vehicles like pickup trucks and V-8 engine models. Automakers are shifting investments away from electric and fuel-efficient cars toward internal combustion engine vehicles, potentially increasing profits but slowing EV growth. Despite this, hybrids are gaining market share, and EV demand is expected to rise sharply due to household preferences and upcoming new models.
