‘Significant behaviour shifts’ needed to cut transport emissions https://www.euractiv.com/section/climate-environment/news/significant-behaviour-shifts-needed-to-cut-transport-emissions/?utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=mastodon #emissions #fuelefficiency #modalshift #nitrogenoxides
"All told, the rule will save almost 70 billion gallons of gasoline and prevent some 710 million metric tons of carbon dioxide from being emitted through 2050, according to NHTSA’s analysis. That’s down from over 90 billion gallons and 907 million tons of CO2 in the earlier proposal."
Even as it is, the rule will save Americans a lot of gas money.
Ted Cruz (R-TX) doesn't want you have those savings. He will try to nullify the #FuelEfficiency rule.
"NHTSA’s final [#FuelEfficiency] rule maintains the proposal’s requirement that passenger cars make 2 percent annual improvements for model years 2027 through 2031."
For light trucks including SUVs, the original rule called for 4% improvement every year.
Now that's no improvement required until 2028 and 2% a year after that.
For heavy pickup trucks: 10% a year improvement, now 10% a year through 2032, then 8% through 2035.
The SUV loophole is as big as an SUV.

Agree 100%: we absolutely need fewer cars where we can get away with that, mostly cities.
For the people who need that car - rural residents, people with disabilities, etc. - let's make it easier for them to have zero- or low-emissions vehicles than dirty gas guzzlers.
#FuelEfficiency standards go a long way to achieve that, and the EPA needs to catch up with the European standards which are a decade ahead.
The EPA is due to propose new rules in the coming weeks that will likely set auto standards through at least 2030.
“While automakers talk out of both sides of their tailpipes, President Biden can take action to usher out the era of #climate-destroying #cars and #trucks. Cutting auto pollution by 75% by 2030 is the biggest single step America can take to prevent catastrophic #GlobalWarming.”

RT @euenvironment: Check out new #EEAreport on #decarbonising #roadtransport! Cars, trucks and fuels are becoming cleaner but more is being transported, resulting in more #emissions from road transport.
