Washington, D.C. | December 4, 2025 — Former US President Donald Trump has announced plans to repeal the fuel efficiency standards introduced during the Biden administration, calling them “unrealistic and harmful” to the auto industry. The proposed rollback is aimed at easing regulatory pressure on automakers, especially traditional petrol and diesel vehicle manufacturers struggling with compliance costs.
Industry experts say the move could significantly lower production costs for automakers and slow the aggressive push toward electric vehicles. However, environmental groups have raised concerns that weakening fuel efficiency rules could increase carbon emissions and weaken climate commitments. The decision is expected to trigger a fresh political and legal battle over America’s future vehicle and clean energy policies.
