Dear Secretary LaHood and Administrator Jackson: 

As a supplier of logistics services, our economic vitality relies heavily on the success of the automobile 

industry. Given that your agencies are now developing national fuel economy standards for 2017-2025, we 

wanted to share our views. 

We are concerned that your a ncies are going down a regulatory path on fuel economy that will result in 

large job losses and other harmful costs to the economy. We encourage NHTSA and EPA to adopt a single, 

national fuel economy standard that considers America's needs for increased fuel economy while preserving 

affordable choices for customers and businesses to meet their transportation needs. NHTSA and EPA have 

already set strong standards for 2012-2016 that raised the fleet average by 40% to 35 miles per gallon. 

Looking forward, technology improvements should continue to support increases in fuel economy and 

greenhouse gas standards. However, we recognize that overreaching regulations can place a significant cost 

burden on individuals, families, and businesses such as ours. 

The next phase of fuel economy standards for 2017-2025 should not pick winners and losers, but should 

support a variety of technologies and fuel diversity to preserve affordability. If fuel economy standards 

increase too quickly, resulting in more expensive vehicles, niany consumers can be expected to hold on to 

their older vehicles longer and defer buying a new car, which could put jobs across the country at risk. 

Job preservation is our priority, and we hope that you will consider in your rulemaking what is at stake for our 

business. The cost of overreaching is the loss of our business's competitiveness and profitability. We 

encourage you to carefully balance these factors as you weigh sensible fuel economy standards, especially 

as our nation's economy continues to recover.
