Colorado has begun the process of adopting the same vehicle emission standards set by California and followed by 12 other states and the District of Columbia.
The move comes as the White House prepares to announce plans to freeze federal pollution standards at 2020 levels. California has vowed to impose the current schedule for imposing increasingly more stringent limits through 2026.
Those limits on carbon dioxide emissions would have the effect of raising average real-world fuel economy averages for 2025 model year vehicles to about 36 mpg from 25 mpg last year.
California is allowed by the federal Clean Air Act to set its own pollution standards. But the Trump administration’s proposed regulatory freeze is expected to include legal action to strip the state’s right, thereby ensuring a single set of standards for the entire country.
