周五，加利福尼亚州、纽约州以及其他二十多个州、城市和县联合起诉美国交通部。该部本周决定最终确定大幅降低汽车燃油效率标准的方案，这一决定显然有利于汽油动力汽车的发展。
California, New York and two dozen other states, cities and counties sued the U.S. Transportation Department on Friday over its decision this week to finalize sharply lower vehicle fuel economy standards in a win for gasoline-powered vehicles. The revised standards seek to reverse former President Joe Biden's push toward greater fuel efficiency and electric vehicles.
新修订的标准旨在扭转前总统乔·拜登时期推动提高燃油效率及发展电动汽车的政策方向。加利福尼亚州总检察长罗布·邦塔指出，这些新规定违背了“将燃油效率标准设定在可行范围内的最高水平”这一要求。与此同时，多个环保及消费者权益保护组织也另行提起诉讼，对新规提出质疑。
California Attorney General Rob Bonta said the new rules violate requirements that the standards be set at the maximum feasible level. A coalition of environmental and consumer groups also filed a separate lawsuit challenging the new rules. The new standards will cut the cost of new vehicles but increase fuel consumption and carbon dioxide emissions for decades, according to the department's estimates.
据交通部估算，新标准虽然能降低新车的购置成本，但会在未来数十年内导致燃油消耗量增加以及二氧化碳排放量上升。
The states — which also include Arizona, Colorado, Connecticut, Massachusetts, Michigan, New Jersey, and Washington — as well as the District of Columbia, New York City, Chicago and Denver and several environmental groups, filed suits in the US Court of Appeals for the First Circuit.
除加利福尼亚州、纽约州外，参与诉讼的还包括亚利桑那州、科罗拉多州、康涅狄格州、马萨诸塞州、密歇根州、新泽西州和华盛顿州，以及哥伦比亚特区、纽约市、芝加哥、丹佛等多地政府，还有多家环保组织。这些诉讼均提交至美国第一巡回上诉法院。
2031 vehicles less efficient: environmental groups The Transportation Department finalized rules on Monday requiring a fleetwide average of 34.9 miles per gallon (14.7 km per liter) by 2031, down from 50.4 miles per gallon (21.4 km per liter) under Biden. Environmental groups said the 2031 vehicles would be less efficient than the current fleet.
环保组织指出2031年的汽车燃油效率将下降：交通部于周一正式确定，到2031年全车队的平均燃油效率需达到每加仑34.9英里（即每升14.7公里），这一数值远低于拜登时期设定的每加仑50.4英里（每升21.4公里）的标准。环保组织认为，届时上路的车辆整体燃油效率将低于当前水平。
The states said the Trump administration is ignoring the presence of millions of EVs, "leading to a flawed, dramatically distorted analysis of the 'maximum feasible' fuel economy level." U.S. drivers have paid sharply higher fuel prices since the start of the US-Israeli war with Iran at the end of February.
各州政府还指出，特朗普政府无视市面上已有数百万辆电动汽车这一事实，“导致对‘可行范围内的最高燃油效率水平’的分析出现严重偏差与失真。”自2月底美以联合对伊朗采取军事行动以来，美国消费者的燃油支出也大幅上涨。
The states said the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration "tries to paper over nearly $220 billion in lost fuel savings — money that drivers would have saved at the pump under the previous fuel economy standards, which will instead benefit Big Oil." Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy defended the rule, saying the agency would let "auto manufacturers produce the cars that fit families' needs at a lower price."
各州表示，国家公路交通安全管理局“试图掩盖近2200亿美元的燃油节省损失--根据之前的燃油经济性标准，司机本可以在加油站节省下来的钱，而这将使大型石油公司受益。"
The Transportation Department said the regulation reduces manufacturers' average cost per vehicle to comply by $1,289 but increases fuel costs by more than $1,600 over the life of the vehicles.
交通部长肖恩·达菲为这一规定辩护，称该机构将允许“汽车制造商以较低的价格生产满足家庭需求的汽车。“交通部表示，该法规使制造商每辆车的平均合规成本降低了1，289美元，但在车辆寿命内，燃油成本增加了1，600多美元。该部门表示，与拜登的规定相比，该规定将使美国到2050年的汽油消耗量增加4.6%，即约1210亿加仑，但也会促进新车销量。
The department said the rule would increase U.S. gasoline consumption through 2050 by 4.6% — about 121 billion gallons — compared to the Biden rules but also boost new car sales.
2024年，拜登政府敲定了推动汽车制造商生产更多电动汽车以满足不断提高的燃油效率标准的规则。
In 2024, the Biden administration finalized rules to push automakers to build more EVs to meet rising fuel-efficiency standards.
这些规则还将在2028年结束汽车制造商之间的信用交易，这此前是电动汽车制造商特斯拉Rivian的重要收入来源。总统唐纳德·特朗普多管齐下，以使汽油动力汽车的销售变得更容易，并于去年取消了7，500美元的新电动汽车税收抵免。
The rules will also end credit trading among automakers in 2028, which previously was a significant source of income for EV manufacturers Tesla Rivian President Donald Trump has mounted a multipronged effort to make it easier to sell gasoline-powered vehicles and last year scrapped a $7,500 new EV tax credit.
