According to a story on Automotive News, new tailpipe emissions regulations were mulled by the White House.
Washington, D.C. – The White House has started weighing a proposal to set stricter limits on tailpipe emissions, which could require automakers to put more emissions controls into their new cars and trucks within a few years.
Gina McCarthy, the head of the EPA’s air quality office, said during a speech today on Capitol Hill that the agency aims to release a proposed set of “Tier 3” rules in March, after getting approval from the White House. Final regulations would follow by the end of 2013.
