NADA UPDATE OUR COMMITMENT TO ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AND ENERGY EFFICIENCY Franchised dealerships across the country are committed to environmental protection and energy efficiency. NADA and ATD support dealers in their efforts and advocate for balanced environmental legislation and regulation. GREEN DEALERSHIPS Reduce energy usage and find resources to improve dealerships’ environmental footprint. In the spirit of a commitment to environmental stewardship, dealers are making continuous improvements to increase the energy efficiency of their facilities. These investments include targeted reductions of electricity used for lighting, heating/cooling and machinery. FUEL ECONOMY NADA and ATD support a balanced approach to fuel economy. NADA and ATD support enhanced data‑driven fuel economy and emissions regulations that embrace marketplace realities and amplify fleet turnover. Flexible standards that reinforce natural customer preferences for newer vehicles over used vehicles and that don’t price customers out of the new-vehicle market are key to ensuring that newer, more fuel‑efficient vehicles are on America’s roads today. COMPLIANCE Support dealers in complying with environmental-related regulations. See the FAQ on EPA Standards (Model Years 2027‑2032) following this article.
