The White House (Washington) is hosting a meeting on the future of advanced automobiles in the month of June 2012. Previously or some weeks before it discussed and settled the most significant rise in fuel efficiency standards in the nation’s history.
The Council of White House on Quality of Environment is holding a three-hour discussion or meeting in June 2012 with some of the persons or analysts such as auto executives, environmentalists and government officials which is titled as a “Advanced Vehicles, Driving Growth.”
The idea of discussion comes just weeks before the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration and Environmental Protection Agency are to finalize the 2017-2025 fuel economy regulations, doubling current requirements to 54.5 mpg.
In last summer, the administration of Obama won the support of most automakers, including Detroit’s Big Three, for the 2017-2025 rules that will cost the industry $157.3 billion and add about $2,000 to the price of an average car. But it will save drivers $1.7 trillion at the pump.
The goal of administration is to highlight as government and industry working together. Here at this time Obama administration is asking requests for changes in the rules that they made, especially from German automakers who think they are unfairly aligned toward U.S. automakers.
The main intention of ”administration is bringing together diverse auto-sector stakeholders at a White House event to celebrate remarkable resurgence of the auto industry and spotlight leaders who represent President Obama’s vision of out-innovating and out-manufacturing the rest of the world.”
According to the White House CEO spokeswoman, ‘If auto manufacturers, the United Auto Workers, states and environmental stakeholders, the Administration work together, they can double the fuel efficiency of cars and light duty trucks by 2025, which automatically save consumers $1.7 trillion at the pump, and assist in our economic competitiveness and reduce our dependence on foreign oil.” (more…)
