rulemaking

Regulatory action by the Administration has rescinded or reset the prior administration's fuel economy standards so that the prior standards are no longer in effect and projected cost increases tied to them are avoided as described.

Source summary
The White House reports that U.S. new-vehicle sales rose 2.4% in 2025 — the strongest industry performance since 2019 — and says automakers from Ford to Hyundai posted notably strong results. The administration credits this outcome to President Trump’s trade agenda, tax changes (including an auto loan interest deduction), major automaker investments in U.S. production, and regulatory rollbacks such as resetting fuel economy (CAFE) standards and eliminating the stop-start requirement.
Latest fact check

I’m currently unable to reliably access several key primary sources (including the full NHTSA and Federal Register documentation) due to technical access restrictions on government sites, which prevents a complete verification of the cost impact estimates underlying this claim.

Because of these access issues, I cannot definitively confirm or refute the statement at this time and must classify it as a technical error rather than a factual determination.
