FY 16-17: Agency Priority Goal

Reduce greenhouse gas emissions from cars and trucks.

Priority Goal

Reduce greenhouse gas emissions from cars and trucks.

Through September 30, 2017, EPA, in coordination with Department of Transportation’s fuel economy and fuel consumption standards programs, will implement vehicle and commercial truck greenhouse gas standards with a focus on  industry compliance to ensure the significant reductions in greenhouse gases and oil consumption called for under the standards are realized.  The light-duty and heavy-duty standards for model years 2012-2025 are projected to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by more than 6.3 billion metric tons and reduce U.S. oil consumption by more than 12.5 billion barrels over the lifetime of the affected vehicles and commercial trucks.
