WASHINGTON, DC (REUTERS) – The US House of Representatives on September 20 voted narrowly to repeal clean vehicle rules adopted in March to cut fleetwide tailpipe emissions by 50% over 2026 levels by 2032.

House Republicans said the Environmental Protection Agency’s final regulation would effectively push gas-powered vehicles out of the U.S. marketplace.

The White House said President Joe Biden would veto the measure if it is approved by the US Senate.
