The EPA Automotive Trends Report: Greenhouse Gas Emissions, Fuel Economy, and Technology since 1975

Published by U.S. EPA Office of Air and Radiation (OAR) - Office of Transportation and Air Quality (OTAQ) | U.S. Environmental Protection Agency | Metadata Last Checked: July 09, 2025 | Last Modified: 2019-03-01
This annual report is part of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA) commitment to provide the public with information about new light-duty vehicle greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, fuel economy, technology data, and auto manufacturers' performance in meeting the agency's GHG emissions standards. EPA has collected data on every new light-duty vehicle model sold in the United States since 1975, either from testing performed by EPA at the National Vehicle and Fuel Emissions Laboratory in Ann Arbor, Michigan, or directly from manufacturers using official EPA test procedures. These data are collected to support several important national programs, including EPA criteria pollutant and GHG standards, the U.S. Department of Transportation's National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) Corporate Average Fuel Economy (CAFE) standards, and vehicle Fuel Economy and Environment labels. The downloadable data are available in the report PDF or spreadsheet (XLS) formats.
