As carmakers could make millions of dollars after reducing emission standards, an analyst, Itay Michaeli, has highlighted that 'we have already seen [costs] decrease even more this summer and serve as tailwind incrementals.' 'This could be a few to many billions of dollars.' The new regulation has eliminated the offer and sale of credits used by car owners to compensate for the production of vehicles more loaded with fuel. This has freed up car manufacturers from the weight they had to overcome to meet emission standards. According to Michaeli, there were three elements at the base of the transition strategy: first, car owners can sell more international cars and fewer 'conformity' cars, which are typically SUVs, pickup trucks, or sports cars.

In the past, many producers had scuttled huge investments in electric vehicles to maintain their profit levels, but these options were no longer economically viable in America. Another possible alternative is what M… did not specify, but seems to refer to the fact that some car manufacturers might dedicate more resources to product design and investment in more profitable products, rather than focusing on vehicles that must satisfy emission norms. The third element is the possibility of offering more international engines and fewer 'conformity' vehicles, which are more loaded with fuel and therefore more economically advantageous.

These changes could lead to small improvements in energy efficiency of cars, but also significant changes in the industry. American cars could become more efficient and produce less carbon emissions, but could lose their competitiveness with high-quality vehicles and their ability to attract consumers' attention. However, this strategy could also allow car manufacturers to redirect their resources towards more profitable products, such as high-quality vehicles and high-performance vehicles, which can be more lucrative and attract a larger number of customers.
