Title: ●Revisions to Motor Vehicle Fuel Economy Label 
Abstract: EPA is responsible for developing the fuel economy labels that are posted on window stickers of all new light duty cars and trucks sold in the U.S. and, beginning with the 2011 model year, on all new medium-duty passenger vehicles (a category that includes large sport-utility vehicles and passenger vans). In 2006, EPA updated how the city and highway fuel economy values are calculated, to better reflect typical real-world driving patterns and provide more realistic fuel economy estimates. Since then, increasing market penetration of advanced technology vehicles, in particular plug-in hybrid electric vehicles and electric vehicles, will require new metrics to effectively convey information to consumers. This action will amend the way in which fuel economy estimates are calculated and/or displayed. The changes in this action will not impact the Corporate Average Fuel Economy requirements.
