What Corporate Average Fuel Economy (CAFE) Standards for Passenger Cars and Light Trucks requires
The Corporate Average Fuel Economy (CAFE) standards, administered by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) under 49 U.S.C. Chapter 329, require automotive manufacturers to meet fleet-wide average fuel economy targets for new passenger cars and light trucks sold in the U.S. Failure to meet these annually-set targets results in civil penalties for each tenth of a mile per gallon the manufacturer's fleet falls short.
