New Car Labels to Show Fuel Use in U.S.A. by 2013
13 June 2011
car_labelIn May 2011, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and Transportation Department issued a joint statement about the new labels required for all cars and light-trucks from 2013.

All vehicles sold in the U.S starting from this date will carry new labels containing information about type of fuel used, average fuel consumption, fuel prices, total annual fuel costs, comparing estimated five-year fuel costs with those of the average new vehicle and exhaust gas emissions from car use.

This label will also contain a QR Code that can be read by smartphones to directly access sites which provide more detailed information about the vehicle.
The aim is to lead the car shopper to find the cleanest and most-efficient vehicles more easily and quickly, and in this way, make the best choice.
