Provides fuel economy performance, standards, and production sales volumes for each manufacturer’s fleet of domestic passenger cars, import passenger cars, and light trucks. Data available through data visualization ->

Displays each manufacturer’s credit balance. Credits are an earned or traded allowance. Manufacturer compliance with the fuel economy standards is calculated in credits. Since model year 2011, manufacturers have been able to trade credits with other manufacturers and transfer credits within their own fleets for compliance flexibility.

Provides civil-penalties data collected by NHTSA since the start of the CAFE program. Data available through data visualization ->

Flexible fuel vehicles boost the CAFE program by allowing manufacturers to increase their fleet’s fuel economy performance values. This report shows which manufacturers produce flex-fuel vehicles and the impact on their fuel economy performance values. Data available through data visualization ->

Provides an update on industry compliance with CAFE standards. It also quantifies the annual total of surplus credits for automotive manufacturers who exceeded CAFE standards, and credit shortfalls for automotive manufacturers who did not meet CAFE standards. The report also shows how manufacturers use credits or pay civil penalties to resolve these shortfalls.

Includes CAFE data for MY 2011 to MY 2024 and two final compliance data sets. The first data set shows how manufacturers’ fleets perform with allowable compliance flexibilities. For the period, manufacturers could increase the performance of their fleets using flexibilities allowed under the Alternative Motor Fuels Act (AMFA, see 49 U.S.C. 32906) and by the Environmental Protection Agency in accordance with 40 CFR 86.1868 and 86.1869. The second data set shows how manufacturers use credit flexibilities from Congress (see 49 U.S.C. 32902 and 49 CFR 536) in complying with CAFE standards. These data sets give a comprehensive overview of how manufacturers comply with CAFE standards and the magnitude at which manufacturers are implementing each allowable flexibility.

Unlike other reports, which contain only EPA-verified final model year data, this report contains projected data from manufacturers’ pre- and mid-model year (PMY and MMY) reports (required by 49 CFR Part 537), which has not been verified by NHTSA or EPA. Manufacturers’ projected data is publicly available to ensure transparency. However, NHTSA only uses EPA-verified final model year data to evaluate manufacturers’ compliance. The mixture of vehicles produced for sale throughout the model year can cause differences between the final and the projected model year data in the PMY and MMY reports.

In 2018, NHTSA issued a final rule containing two new standardized templates for manufacturers to use when submitting CAFE compliance reports to the agency and for reporting CAFE credit transactions. The reporting template standardizes each manufacturer's CAFE data required under 49 CFR 537.7(b) and (c) to ensure the accuracy and completeness of data collected and to better align with the final data provided to EPA. The credit template standardizes the process of submitting credit transaction requests and facilitates quicker credit transaction approvals required under 49 CFR 536. Both templates significantly reduce the burden on all automobile manufacturers and on the government.

NHTSA's Fleet Performance Report for medium- and heavy-duty vehicles and engines displays EPA-verified year-end fuel consumption standards and performance data measured in gallons per 1,000 ton-miles (vehicles) and gallons per 100 hp-hr (engine) by regulatory subcategory and model year. The report presents four different performance values (i.e., minimum, maximum, production-weighted average, and median) that can all be compared to a single associated standard for each averaging set. The total credits for each averaging set are also included. The information in the report is also broken down by vehicles, engines, and for manufacturers who decided not to participate in NHTSA’s average, banking and trading program (ABT) (see 49 CFR 535.7).

Here are templates related to Medium- and Heavy-Duty.
