U.S. President Joe Biden is suggesting that the Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA’s) new tailpipe emissions standards set a global standard at the April 20 Major Economies Forum (MEF) on energy and climate change.
That’s according to senior officials who spoke to reporters on April 19.
“President Biden will invite leaders to join the United States in a collective goal,” a senior administration official said before outlining that target:
“By 2030, over 50 percent of LDVs [light-duty vehicles] and at least 30 percent of medium- and heavy-duty vehicles sold globally will be zero-emission vehicles–so battery-electric, fuel cell, plug-in hybrid vehicles.”
