The Executive Director of MichAuto and Chief Automotive and Innovation Officer of the Detroit Regional Chamber, Glenn Stevens Jr., joined WJR 760 AM, ‘JR Morning to discuss the impact President Trump’s fuel economy standards announcement has on Michigan’s automotive industry.

Stevens explained that rolling back fuel economy standards could have a major impact on affordability, saving Americans billions while easing the strain of record-high vehicle prices. Beyond consumer relief, the move provides stability for automakers navigating complex supply chains, aligning regulation with market realities and giving the industry much-needed certainty.
