Statement on EPA’s Proposed Determination on MY 2022-2025 Light-Duty Vehicle GHG Standards

Washington, DC – November 30, 2016 - Suppliers play a key role in the innovation and development of a wide variety of technologies that improve vehicle fuel economy and reduce emissions. These technologies will be critical to help automakers meet the MYs 2017-2025 standards.

MEMA believes a true National Program is crucial to ensure long-term compliance planning and corresponding technology investments. MEMA is currently reviewing the U.S. EPA’s proposed determination issued earlier today, and remains committed to continuing to address important program flexibilities, such as off-cycle credits, to meet the goals of the standards.

MEMA will continue to work on these matters with the incoming Administration and the new Congress. For more information, contact Leigh Merino.
