Coltura Blasts Fuel Economy Rollback as Bad for Consumers and the Environment

January 8

 

On January 7th, Coltura’s Rob Sargent presented testimony to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), calling on them to back off on their plan to rollback fuel economy standards.

“The proposed rule would increase consumer fuel costs, reduce effective vehicle choice, weaken incentives for technological innovation, and increase national gasoline consumption, all while setting standards below levels the industry has already achieved. For the sake of American consumers, our global economic competitiveness, our health, and the planet, I urge NHTSA to withdraw this rule and maintain fuel economy standards that reflect technological feasibility, drive industry innovation, and reduce unnecessary fuel expenditures,” said Sargent.
