Dat is aanzienlijk minder dan de ongeveer 50 mpg die wordt vereist volgens de normen die onder president Joe Biden zijn vastgesteld.<\/p>\n<p>Deze stap past in het streven van president Donald Trump om het beleid uit het Biden-tijdperk af te schaffen, dat hij herhaaldelijk heeft aangevallen als een \u201cEV-verplichting\u201d. Hij noemt die maatregelen \u201cbelachelijk belastend\u201d en stelt dat ze de prijzen van nieuwe auto\u2019s opdrijven.<\/p>\n<h4>Zijn nieuwe auto\u2019s betaalbaarder geworden?<\/h4>\n<p>Trump heeft al wetgeving ondertekend waarmee de boetes voor autofabrikanten die de brandstofverbruiksnormen niet naleven, zijn afgeschaft en waarmee een belastingvoordeel van $7.500 voor consumenten bij de aankoop van elektrische voertuigen is ingetrokken. Zijn Environmental Protection Agency heeft bovendien een baanbrekend beleid ingetrokken dat de wettelijke basis vormde voor het vaststellen van limieten voor de uitstoot van kooldioxide door onder meer auto\u2019s en vrachtwagens.<\/p>\n<p>Minister van Transport Sean Duffy presenteerde de versoepeling als een manier om nieuwe voertuigen betaalbaarder te maken. Nog voordat de benzineprijzen als gevolg van de oorlog met Iran omhoogschoten, voerden critici van Trumps beleid al aan dat het versoepelen van de brandstofverbruikseisen ertoe zou leiden dat consumenten meer zouden moeten betalen aan de pomp.<\/p>\n<p>De definitieve regel van de NHTSA betekent een overwinning voor de auto- en olie-industrie, die hadden geklaagd dat de eisen de verkoop van traditionele, op benzine draaiende verbrandingsmotoren in feite ontmoedigden ten gunste van emissievrije elektrische modellen.<\/p>\n<p>Autofabrikanten hadden aangevoerd dat de normen, die onder Biden waren aangescherpt, te ambitieus waren en hen in feite dwongen om meer elektrische auto\u2019s te verkopen dan de markt aankon.<\/p>\n<p>John Bozzella, voorzitter van de brancheorganisatie Alliance for Automotive Innovation, die de meeste autofabrikanten vertegenwoordigt, noemde de regel een \u201cpassende koerswijziging\u201d. \u201cDe NHTSA heeft de juiste beslissing genomen om de brandstofverbruiksnormen beter af te stemmen op de wetgeving en de huidige marktomstandigheden\u201d, zei hij in een verklaring.<\/p>\n<h4>Besparingen voor autofabrikanten<\/h4>\n<p>Het ministerie van Verkeer heeft laten weten dat General Motors als gevolg van deze wijziging tot 2031 een daling van de technologiekosten met $20,4 miljard zal zien.<\/p>\n<p>In totaal schat de regering-Trump dat de technologiekosten voor autofabrikanten tot en met 2031 met $60,6 miljard zullen dalen, ofwel ongeveer $1.289 per voertuig. De brandstofverbruiksregels voor 2024 zouden GM tot 2031 naar schatting $31,7 miljard kosten.<\/p>\n<p>De nieuwe regel zal naar verwachting begin december van kracht worden. Autofabrikanten hoeven geen dure emissiebeperkende apparatuur in te bouwen om het brandstofverbruik te verlagen of meer elektrische auto\u2019s te produceren, zoals ze onder de vorige regel wel hadden moeten doen om aan strengere eisen te voldoen.<\/p>\n<p>Volgens de NHTSA zullen de kosten voor Stellantis met $6,6 miljard dalen, voor Ford met $5,8 miljard, voor Toyota met $4,5 miljard en voor Honda met $4,1 miljard. GM verklaarde dat het de doelstellingen van de regel ondersteunt, evenals de \u2019bedoeling om de brandstofverbruiksnormen beter af te stemmen op de realiteit van de markt\u201c.\u201d<\/p>\n<h4>Uiteindelijk zullen de consumenten ervoor opdraaien<\/h4>\n<p>Milieuactivisten en consumentenbelangenorganisaties hebben scherpe kritiek geuit op de definitieve regel, omdat deze de normen afzwakt die consumenten miljarden dollars zouden hebben bespaard in een tijd waarin de benzineprijzen door de oorlog met Iran enorm zijn gestegen.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAmerikanen hebben verlichting nodig van de hoge kosten, maar in plaats daarvan laat Trump autofabrikanten ongestraft vervuilen en laat hij gezinnen de rekening betalen\u201d, aldus Katherine Garc\u00eda, directeur van \u2018Clean Transportation for All\u2019 bij de Sierra Club, in een verklaring.<\/p>\n<p>De definitieve regel schaft het systeem voor de handel in emissierechten af dat autofabrikanten hebben gebruikt om aan de eisen te voldoen, met ingang van modeljaar 2028.<\/p>\n<p>In 2030 worden door de regel ook de criteria gewijzigd op basis waarvan voertuigen worden ingedeeld in personenauto\u2019s of lichte vrachtwagens, waarvoor minder strenge eisen inzake het brandstofverbruik gelden.<\/p>\n<p>Volgens het Ministerie van Verkeer en Waterstaat (DOT) zal dit de huidige samenstelling van het wagenpark \u2013 bestaande uit ongeveer 70% lichte vrachtwagens en 30% personenauto\u2019s \u2013 in feite omkeren, waardoor veel modellen, zoals compacte crossovers, aan strengere brandstofverbruikseisen voor personenauto\u2019s zullen moeten voldoen.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Trump administration finalized a significant weakening of federal fuel economy standards for automobiles, rolling back a key policy that had pushed the industry to improve the efficiency of cars and trucks and sell more battery-electric vehicles.
