Congress Seeks to Block New Vehicle Emission Standards for 2027 Models.

This resolution aims to nullify the strict new multi-pollutant emission standards set by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) for light-duty and medium-duty vehicles starting with the 2027 model year. If successful, vehicle manufacturers will not be required to meet these tougher pollution limits. This action could help keep the cost of new vehicles lower but may result in higher overall vehicle emissions.
Key points
Cancellation of strict pollution limits for new cars and medium-duty trucks (2027 models and later).
Manufacturers avoid implementing potentially costly emission control technologies, which might keep vehicle prices lower.
