Support for Auto Manufacturing and Changes to Emissions Standards
This act introduces new tax deductions for companies manufacturing automobiles in the U.S., provided they meet specific requirements regarding wages, employee benefits, and production location. Simultaneously, it repeals existing vehicle emissions standards and establishes new, more flexible ones that consider market realities, potentially impacting vehicle availability, prices, and air quality.
Key points
Automotive companies manufacturing in the U.S. can receive significant tax deductions if they provide high wages, good health and retirement benefits, and maintain neutrality towards labor unions.
Existing strict emissions standards for passenger cars, light-duty, and heavy-duty vehicles are repealed.
New emissions and fuel economy standards will be established, considering technological and economic feasibility, and will not mandate the production of electric vehicles.
States will be prohibited from setting their own, stricter emissions standards than federal ones.
