Specialists forecast that 1,629,011 new cars and trucks will be sold in the U.S. in December, while the month is already over, we still don't know the results. This reflects an 18.5% increase from November 2016, but a 0.3 percent decrease from December 2015. Based on this forecast, they project a new annual record of 17,480,294 new cars and trucks will be sold in the U.S. in 2016. This would squeak past 2015’s record car sales by the slight margin of 0.03 percent – or less than 5,000 units. One trend running in the industry’s favor for a record-setting 2016 is ...
Not long ago the region which was taken by Toyota Motor Corp. was composed of more than half diesel cars, and now it got changed by the car brand. In more than a year Toyota is ready to report a leap in hybrid vehicle sales for this year. Toyota's goal right now is to enlarge its hybrid sales, until they reach the half of its worldwide sales, until the end of decade.Toyota had decided a few years ago to avoid taking on diesel cars in Europe. While demand for the Prius was increasing in the U.S. and other markets, it was barely being noticed in Europe. Its strategy was based on a...
While U.S. auto sales are likely to set a record before 2016 draws to a close as it beats last year's mark of 17.5 million new cars and trucks, 2017 probably won't fare as well. In fact, it may surprise many people as Ford, Fiat Chrysler Automobiles and General Motors are already closing production plants. Although last year's record will be broken, there's already a decrease in sales this December and forecasts say that the trend will continue throughout 2017. Apparently the three largest manufacturers in the country, Ford, General Motors and FCA, are already gettin...
It looks like 2016 U.S. auto sales may set a new record after all, by the thinnest of margins. On Wednesday, Jan 4. automakers will finally reveal their December auto sales and the sales for the full year. Specialists predicted 2016 sales would fall short of last year’s record by about 0.1 percent. Either way, call it flat, statistically. Still, that’s better than forecasters expected a few months ago. Analysts began 2016 with high hopes for another record, but toned down their expectations halfway into the year, because of cooler consumer demand and rising sticker price...
Plastics have seen increased opportunities to get onto North American-made cars and trucks as automakers work to improve their fleets’ fuel economy. But the real growth lies ahead, when the need to reduce mass from today’s cars climbs to 15 percent and higher. In a new study, the Center for Automotive Research in Ann Arbor surveyed exactly what went into 44 different 2015 model year cars, then asked what materials carmakers would turn to if they need to cut 5 percent, 10 percent and finally 15 percent of the weight out of key parts. Jay Baron, CEO of the research group,...
