WASHINGTON-the Obama is managing U.S. automakers say that passenger cars and light trucks to average 56.2 miles per gallon would it by 2025 - a boost of the efficiency of fuel consumption, but drive the cost of cars other than consumers money at the gas pump and help the global warming would.
Management officials floated the number of meetings last week with the Detroit three--General Motors, Ford and Chrysler - people in Government and industry with the discussion familiar. She authorized languages on condition of anonymity because they were not publicly to talk about.
While it is only a starting point, the figure of the first note the Government may be routed from where, how it works a 2017-2025 fuel consumption set standard. Last year, protection agency said the Transport Department and the environmental, somewhere would keep mpg a federal standard between 47 mpg and 62.
The upper end of the range would be a massive shift in which Americans drive. An analysis of the Government found that about half of the lineup of new vehicles would have to be gas-electric hybrids among the most aggressive standards. To reach the technology had a 56-mpg standard according to Administration estimates, would be $2,100 to $2,600 to add the price of a car. But because less fuel would need the vehicles owner would make the difference with fewer trips to the gas station.
Environmentalists are urging the highest standards, but automakers have so far said she would be prepared, while the next eight years on vehicles between 42.6 work and receive 46.7 miles per gallon.
The Obama administration hopes to find some common ground and reach one deal before it makes a formal proposal in September. Once a standard is reached, be communicated to other car manufacturers.
Early in 2009, the White House announced a landmark agreement with car manufacturers and States require to reach 35.5 miles per gallon by 2016 passenger cars and light commercial vehicles on average and set the first gas standards for greenhouse gas emissions from tailpipes.
The stakes are higher this time because no longer by the White House tracked legislation to curb climate change which is on the lookout for other ways to address global warming. High gasoline prices have not only to find that ways to increase supply oil, but also to reduce pressure on the Government.
"We continue to closely with a wide range of stakeholders, to develop a major standard, families save money and keep the jobs of the future here" White House spokesman of Clark Stevens in a statement said. "A final decision has not been made, and as we have made clear, want to, we propose a standard in September."
The goal of 56.2 mpg is hard, but General Motors will find way to achieve a, said Mark Reuss, North American President of the company. He would not say what would use GM technologies to achieve the goal, but he conceded that many simpler, less costly solutions are already in progress or have such as the shift to smaller engines and development been done more fuel-saving transmission.
"If you these things in put for the first time, they can be more expensive," he said. "But this is a volume and scale industry." "What was very expensive in the past is no longer very expensive."
Ford Motor Co., said in a written statement that talks with the Government continue but that it "more and more fuel economy requirements with a national program, the data-driven is supported and the impact on jobs, the economy, consumers and the safety factors....",.
Dan Becker, Director of the safe climate campaign at the Center, map showing against a security for car too many assumptions, it is more important than the norm as automakers are allowed is to be achieved.
"It is not only the number, which is what one." It is the gaps below it, "said Becker." "And automaker looks, make it dependent on number in Swiss cheese is."
