  "summary": "The Alliance for Automotive Innovation, representing automakers such as General Motors, Toyota, and Volkswagen, has backed the Trump administration's move to roll back US fuel economy standards, as reported by the New Straits Times. The group argues that the new standards, which set a fleet-wide fuel economy average of 34.9 miles per gallon by 2031, provide necessary certainty for automakers, impacting their business planning, product development, and new vehicle model investments. The automakers contend that the lower standards do not consider the presence of millions of electric vehicles, which they claim leads to an inaccurate assessment of the maximum feasible fuel economy level. In contrast, California, New York, and other states have filed a lawsuit against the Trump administration's decision, claiming it ignores the growing number of electric vehicles and results in a flawed analysis of the maximum feasible fuel economy level.",
