A coalition of states and cities has filed a lawsuit against U.S. federal agencies over revised vehicle fuel economy standards, according to reports.
The lawsuit targets rules that seek to reverse the fuel-efficiency and electric-vehicle policies pursued under former President Joe Biden.
Plaintiffs argue that the weaker standards could have negative consequences for emissions and fuel savings, although specific details of their legal arguments have not been fully outlined in available reporting.
The case adds to a broader pattern of legal battles between state and local governments and federal agencies over environmental and automotive regulations.
It is not yet clear when a court will rule on the matter.
