This course focuses on the proposed recalibration of the Corporate Average Fuel Economy (CAFE) program as set forth in the SAFE Vehicles Rule III for model years 2022–2031. Developed directly from NHTSA and DOT’s published Proposed Rule, it explains new compliance requirements, the exclusion of electric vehicle contributions in standard setting, elimination of inter-manufacturer credit trading, and significant changes to how light-duty vehicles are classified for regulatory purposes.

Ideal for automotive compliance professionals, legal advisors, policy makers, and industry analysts.
