Auto Report 07-11-24 Auto regs deja vu

Car Radio 910AM-Detroit: Podcast, July 11, 2024


Host: Henry Payne, Auto columnist, The Detroit News


As Yoga Berra might say: “It’s like déjà vu all over again.” New
US auto regulations are perversely working against domestic auto
manufacturers. In the 1970s, Washington devised CAFÉ rules to
force US automakers to make more fuel-efficient cars in order to
reduce our “foreign oil dependence.” But the rules worked against
Detroit companies, increasing Japanese automakers market share.
Today, the trendy buzzword is “climate crisis” and government is
forcing electric vehicles. The beneficiary? Chinese automakers
and China’s dominance of battery materials. 2 minutes. Original
aired July 11, 2024 on the Auto Report, 910AM-Detroit WFDF
