DETROIT - A public hearing is planned in Detroit about the Obama administration's proposal to nearly double fuel economy standards for cars and pickup trucks in the U.S.
Tuesday's hearing at Courtyard Detroit Downtown is one of three being held this month in cities around the country by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency.
Officials with the United Auto Workers union and the National Wildlife Federation plan to be in Detroit for the hearing.
The administration in November formally proposed what major automakers and the White House agreed to in July.
Under the plan, cars and trucks by 2025 must average 54.5 miles per gallon. Vehicles on the road last year, by contrast, averaged 27 miles per gallon.
