Dive Brief: A coalition of cities, counties and states on Friday filed a petition for review challenging the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration’s final rule lowering corporate average fuel economy standards for new passenger cars and light trucks.
The petition, filed in the U.S. Court of Appeals for the First Circuit, alleges that NHTSA’s final rule is arbitrary and capricious and violates the Administrative Procedure Act and the Energy Policy and Conservation Act.
Dive Insight: In 1975, Congress enacted the Energy Policy and Conservation Act requiring NHTSA to establish “maximum feasible” fuel economy standards for new vehicles.
The Trump administration last month finalized new fuel efficiency standards, weakening former President Joe Biden’s standards that would have required automakers to increase the fuel efficiency of passenger cars and light trucks to roughly 50 miles per gallon by 2031.
“However, the final rule significantly weakens fuel economy standards, harming both consumers and the planet at the exact moment when global gasoline prices are soaring.”

Two LL97 compliance paths — Article 320 and Article 321 — had reporting requirements for this first compliance year, DOB said in its report.
Article 320 generally applies to market-rate buildings across use types and requires annual reports documenting building emissions and compliance within applicable emissions limits.
Among those using the performance pathway, more than 90% reported already meeting more stringent 2030 emissions limits.
It also had a very high emissions compliance rate of 95%.
“When we hit 2030, so many more building owners are going to have to do something to come into compliance,” she said.

That model works reasonably well when the fleet is small, but it carries two structural flaws that grow worse with scale.
Smart cities are investing billions in connected infrastructure, from adaptive traffic lights to autonomous shuttle fleets, and every one of those systems inherits the security assumptions of the underlying vehicular network.
A centralized authentication model that buckles under load, or that can be toppled by compromising a single server, is a poor foundation for safety-critical transportation.
Even with those qualifications, BAS-IoV is a compelling demonstration that the perceived trade-off between blockchain-grade security and vehicular-grade speed is not inevitable.
BAS-IoV: lightweight blockchain-based authentication for secure and scalable internet of vehicles.

Getting trucks onto the road when a winter storm hits is rarely the problem.
More agencies are treating snow response as something they can see and steer in real time, rather than reconstruct after the fact.
From reacting to managing When winter operations run on segment-level data, a storm looks different from the command center.
The city runs a winter fleet of roughly 300 vehicles on Routeware's connected snow operations platform, coordinating plowing citywide through the worst of the season.
Cities that can see their storm response street by street, in real time, are better positioned on all three fronts.

Smart automation.
AI raises the standard Generative AI and agentic AI fundamentally raise the expectations for what industrial intelligence might mean.
A dashboard is not ‘smart’ Industrial companies have invested enormous amounts of money creating visibility.
‘Smart’ should mean sense, make sense, act, reason, and transform Perhaps we need a higher standard for using the word smart.
A truly smart industrial system should be able to sense what is happening across its environment.

Cities across the country are now exploring district cooling as part of this effort.
District cooling works much like district heating, except that chilled water circulates through the pipes instead of hot water.
However, whether district cooling can be adopted more widely depends on one key principle: solutions must be tailored to local conditions.
Environmental sustainability and economic viability are equally important when developing district cooling systems.
Thanks to economies of scale, district cooling can deliver significant energy savings and carbon reductions, and it has enormous potential.
