Automakers back US rollback of fuel economy rules

By Reuters News

- A group representing General Motors GM.N, Toyota 7203.T, Volkswagen VOWG.DE and other major automakers on Monday backed the Trump administration in a legal challenge to its sharply lower vehicle fuel economy standards filed by California and other states.

Last month, the US Transportation Department said it was finalizing a fleet wide fuel economy average of 34.9 miles per ⁠gallon (14.7 km per liter) by 2031, down from 50.4 miles per gallon (21.4 km per liter) that had been approved under then President Joe Biden in 2024.
