Fines boosted for automakers not meeting fuel economy rules:
WASHINGTON — The U.S. National Highway Traffic Safety Administration on Sunday reinstated a sharp increase in penalties for automakers whose vehicles do not meet fuel efficiency requirements for model years 2019 and beyond.
President Donald Trump's administration in its final days in January 2021 delayed a 2016 regulation that more than doubled penalties for automakers failing to meet Corporate Average Fuel Economy requirements starting in the 2019 model year. For the 2019 to 2021 model years, the fine is $14, up from $5.50, for every 0.1 mpg new vehicles fall short of required fuel-economy standards, multiplied by the number of noncomplying vehicles sold. For the 2022 model year, this rises to $15.
Under President Barack Obama, the higher penalties were set to start with the 2019 model year, but the Trump administration set the effective date as the 2022 model year following a court decision.
