Obama rolls out emissions, mileage standards
President Barack Obama on Tuesday announced the first national standard for greenhouse gas emissions from automobiles and tougher fuel-mileage rules, marking the most sweeping new regulation of the industry in decades.
The program will begin with model year 2012 cars and by 2016, the average fuel efficiency will be 35.5 miles per gallon, according to a senior administration official, hitting that standard four years before the previously passed CAFE law required.
Behind all the product and business news, the auto business is a people business.
