If implemented, the new greenhouse gas performance standards would start for light-duty vehicles that are model year 2027 and gradually increase through model year 2032.
EPA spokesperson Tim Carroll did not comment on the specifics of the proposal but said the agency is working on developing new standards "to accelerate the transition to a zero-emissions transportation future, protecting people and the planet," as directed by a previous executive order from President Joe Biden.
Oge noted that in the US, California is already proposing 70% new zero-emissions vehicle sales by 2030 and other states are planning to adopt California's rules -- meaning much of the US car industry will be transitioning ahead of any proposed federal rule. The EPA rule would ensure that the rest of the country and the US car industry would follow California's lead, Oge said.
