All sides warning industry future at stake as EPA reopens MTE

It is official - the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has reopened the Mid-Term Evaluation (MTE) for car and light truck fuel economy targets. With just days left in office, the previous administration had closed the MTE much earlier than expected in a bid to secure the current targets. At the time, Administrator Gina McCarthy had said that OEMs were 'well-positioned' to meet the standards for model years 2022-2025 vehicles.
