Specifically, NHTSA on behalf of the US Department of Transportation officially completed new standards in the field of fuel consumption for cars on March 31. Models sold in this country in the period 2024 – 2025 will be subject to a stricter consumption standard of 8% and then increase to 10% from 2026. The final number, according to this organization, is 4 0.8 liters of fuel per 100 km of operation – an unimaginable parameter for a vehicle without electrification technology.
The above standard is averaged for the entire vehicle lineup and if one (or more) models exceed the above threshold, automakers will have to lower the number by launching more electric vehicles or plug-in hybrids. Their parameters must be significantly better than the above.
The new standard is expected to indirectly force major automakers to kill off most of their regular motor vehicle lineups in this region.
How will consumers in a country famous for preferring large cars that drink gasoline like water?
In addition, the fine for non-standard car manufacturers has nearly tripled from $5.50 to $14/15 (depending on the period) for each unit of measurement that exceeds the threshold (Americans use miles per gallon/MPG). with non-standard head gear. Automakers previously estimated their fines would increase by more than $1 billion a year compared to now.
There is no denying the efforts of Americans in promoting users and car manufacturers to focus on electric cars or at least plug-in hybrid cars more, but the strict standard for 2026 is not too soon when. do other major regions all set targets from 2030 onwards?
