The specifications of car emissions said he would try to restore President Donald Trump, judging the restrictions on the pollution of vehicles imposed by former President Joe Biden as too burdensome for automakers.

Trump said he discussed the issue with John Elkann, the president of the parent company Chrysler Stelantis NV, on Monday. Trump told reporters that the two discussed “some of the problems they face in terms of environment, which we will settle“

“We will probably return to a model according to the 2020 standard“, Trump told reporters as he signed an irrelevant executive decree in the Oval Office. Existing pollution restrictions all over the world, “make a significant difference to the environment “while” making impossible to build cars for people“, He added.

This type of redefinition of the quantity of greenhouse gas emissions from cars and light trucks will essentially freeze the limits adopted by the Environmental Protection Service during Trump’s first term. Trump’s comments mark the return to a greenhouse gas pollution threshold of 204 grams per mile for cars and 284 grams per mile for light trucks, once applied to the vehicles of the model of the year 2020.

During Trump’s first term, the EPA (United States Environmental Protection Service) attempted to “lock” the 2020 pollution restrictions. However, Biden later imposed a stricter trajectory, which reduces carbon dioxide releases from 85 grams to 20

Trump has often criticized the requirements of the Biden era as a mandate for the construction of electric vehicles because they are so rigorous that they are forcing automakers to sell zero -emission electric vehicles.

Environmental supporters and scientists argue that the dramatic reductions in greenhouse gas emissions are necessary to limit global warming. The US transport sector is the main source of pollution that causes global warming.

Trump defended the 2020 model on Monday as a “powerful standard”, adding: “We will restore restrictions to a standard that is a very good environmental standard but makes it possible to build a car“

EPA representatives did not immediately respond to commentary requests. But Trump has already instructed the service to eliminate what he calls “an order for electric vehicles”, and EPA has launched a campaign to recall dozens of environmental rules, including car pollution standards.
