CAFE is a rule that requires car manufacturers to make their vehicles more fuel-efficient. If they don't meet certain fuel economy standards, they can face fines.
CAFE stands for Corporate Average Fuel Economy, which is a set of regulations in the United States aimed at improving the average fuel economy of cars and trucks sold in the country. Manufacturers must meet specific fuel economy targets to avoid fines and penalties.
