Share

The BlueGreen Alliance research report Gearing Up estimates that new fuel efficiency standards will create approximately 21,000 new jobs by 2030.

August 30, 2012
At least 21,000 jobs will be created by 2030 in Ohio as a direct result of vehicle fuel economy standards proposed by the Obama administration, according to a new study released by the BlueGreen Alliance. Findings in the report, Gearing Up: Smart Standards Create Good Jobs Building Cleaner Cars, reveal 570,000 jobs would be created nationally from fuel savings and developing clean car technology. This proposal for light-duty vehicles built between 2017- 2025 means fuel economy will reach an all-time high 54.5 miles per gallon (mpg) and low for emissions of 163 grams of carbon dioxide per mile (g/mi).
