, automakers have been pushing behind the scenes to delay implementation of the new emission limits for "a few years," but we won't learn more until the proposed rules are released this week.The EPA sets emissions standards for new vehicles sold in the U.S. in batches. For example, emissions rules for 2021–2026 model year vehicles were finalized in the spring of 2020. Those rules ended up being less strict than initially proposed.
The new standards are set to be announced Wednesday. The EPA is also expected to update emissions rules for heavy-duty trucks and power plants this month. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration is also expected to announce its new fuel economy standards in April.
