| Four Automakers Cut Deal With Califronia to Tighten Emission Rules |
|
| Four automakers -- Ford, BMW, Volkswagen and Honda -- reached an agreement with California on fuel efficiency rules, Reuters reported. The move bypasses "a Trump administration effort to strip the state of the right to fight climate change by setting its own standards," according to the news service. The California pact calls for standards that are looser than rules set during the Obama administration but tighter than new standards proposed by the Trump admnistration. A legal fight is likely. |
