WASHINGTON (Reuters) -A group representing nearly all major automakers asked the Trump administration Tuesday to rollback aggressive vehicle emissions limits that seek to force the industry to build a rising number of electric vehicles.
The Alliance for Automotive Innovation, which represents General Motors, Toyota Motor, Volkswagen, Hyundai and other major automakers, said in a filing with the Environmental Protection Agency that legislation signed by President Donald Trump in June will increase the effective price of EVs and could lead to a near-term decline in EV market share. They added the rules finalized last year under President Joe Biden are no longer achievable.
