Auto Industry NewsAuto-emission deal clears the airFederal governments in Canada and the United States have jointly announced demanding new fuel-efficiency standards for new cars and trucks. Much of the credit for this important step belongs, however, not to Washington and Ottawa but to Sacramento and Quebec City.The U.S. government stonewalled real improvements in fuel efficiency throughout George W. Bush's administration. Because the North American auto industry is about as integrated across the border as any industry can be, Ottawa was therefore unable to make any progress on the issue, either. Bush's complacency didn't stop lawmakers in California, a state where the native idealism is often impractical but sometimes visionary. Knowing their state was too big for auto makers to ignore, California lawmakers imposed tough fuel-efficiency rules. A number of other states, and Quebec, soon matched or approximated the California standards.Now, with a new administration in Washington, the federal governments in both countries have scurried to get back in front of the parade.
