To repeal the corporate average fuel economy standards.
HR 2779 would repeal the federal corporate average fuel economy (CAFE) standards, which require automakers to meet specific fuel efficiency targets for new vehicles. This bill directly affects automobile manufacturers by removing their legal obligation to comply with these fuel efficiency regulations. The key provision eliminates Chapter 329 of Title 49, U.S. Code - the section that established the CAFE program - without creating new requirements. If enacted, it would end the current federal mandate for vehicle fuel economy, shifting regulatory oversight away from the government.
