Revision as of 08:36, 2 July 2007


In an effort to conserve national energy and to improve automobile efficiency, Congress enacted laws that help motivate vehicle manufacturers to invest in research and manufacturing of vehicles with higher fuel economy and better efficiency.

This list was compiled to gain a better understanding of U.S. policies on vehicle regulations and the effect they have on manufacturers and consumers. We wish to use this information in our optimization model, combining influence of policy with engineering goals and market demands and.

US Federal Policies

US National environmental regulation policies for vehicle.

Current Policies

Federal environmental regulation policies for vehicles that are already enforced.

Corporate Average Fuel Economy (CAFE)

Corporate Average Fuel Economy (CAFE) is the required average fuel economy for a vehicle manufacturer's passenger cars and light trucks with gross vehicle weight rating (GVWR) of at most 8,500 lbs each year.

Corporate Average Fuel Economy

Gas Guzzler Tax

The National Energy Act: Energy Tax Act of 1978 imposed set tax penalties on car manufacturers who fail to meet the minimum fuel economy level of 22.5 mpg. This does not include minivans, sport utility vehicles or pick-up trucks. It is intended to discourage the production and purchase of fuel inefficient vehicles.

CAFE Revision

The proposal entitled as "Pryor-Bond-Levin" amendment. (June, 21, 2007)

The current Senate energy bill requires automakers to average 35 miles per gallon for cars and trucks combined by 2020 and then face annual 4 percent increases through 2030, ending up with a 52 mpg standard.

"Pryor-Bond-Levin" amendment would raise passenger car CAFE mandates to 33 mpg by 2022 and trucks to 30 mpg by 2025. Lawmakers are now trying to fashion an alternative that would find some middle ground between the energy bill and the Pryor-Bond-Levin proposal, which had won the support of automakers.
