美国的汽车设计是最早从许多方面考虑到环境问题的。60年代发生的洛杉矶盆地空气污染,导致联邦政府制定了关于汽车排气标准和立法。70年代中期,美国提出的燃油标准,还促使美国的汽车制造商去研制更轻的汽车和燃油效率更高的发动机。
Automotive design in the United States is the first to consider environmental issues in many ways. The air pollution in the Los Angeles basin of the 1960s led the federal government to develop standards and legislation on vehicle exhaust. In the mid-1970s, the fuel standards proposed by the United States also prompted U.S. automakers to develop lighter cars and more fuel-efficient engines.
