06:57 AM EDT, 08/15/2025 (MT Newswires) -- Rivian Automotive ( RIVN ) said $100 million in revenue is on hold after the Trump administration eased US fuel economy rules, the Wall Street Journal reported on Friday.

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration halted issuing compliance letters needed for selling fuel-economy credits as it reassesses Corporate Average Fuel Economy standards, the Journal said.

Rivian said it had already negotiated deals for credits but can't finalize them without the paperwork, the Wall Street Journal reported.

The delay which also affects other EV makers follows a Trump administration policy shift in July that removed penalties for violating the standards.

Rivian and NHTSA did not immediately respond to MT Newswires' request for comment.
