Obama Proposes Higher Incentives for Alternative Fuel Car and Truck Buyers
The current U.S. administration is committed to reducing car and truck fuel consumption and emissions. It has already managed to make major manufacturers agree on its 54.5 mpg Corporate Average Fuel Economy (CAFE) 2025 target.
