WEST SPRINGFIELD, Mass. USA – January 8, 2009 – The Bush administration has elected not to issue final rules for CAFE (Corporate Average Fuel Economy) standards for the 2011 – 15 automotive model years as previously planned. A written statement issued by the U.S. Department of Transportation said that “recent financial difficulties of the automobile industry will require the next administration to conduct a thorough review of matters affecting the industry, including how to effectively implement" a new energy law requiring tougher standards.
The Scuderi Group – developers of what is expected to be the most fuel efficient internal combustion engine – welcomes this development. The incoming Obama administration has consistently expressed firm commitments to both responsible environmental initiatives and to a vigorous domestic automotive industry. The Scuderi Group believes that with the implementation of innovative new technologies like the Scuderi Engine, each of these ambitious and vitally important objectives will reinforce the other.
The first prototype of the Scuderi Engine is scheduled to be unveiled in April of 2009.
