The continuing fall in US auto sales in the first 5 months of 2017 has raised concerns about the future of auto demand in the country. But even considering the decrease there are factors which are still favoring the US automotive industry: US demand for trucks and SUVs- The first key positive factor for automakers is that auto buyers’ inclination for heavyweight vehicles such as trucks and UVs (utility vehicles) is intact. US car sales have fallen 11.0% to 2.7 million units in the first five months of 2017. In contrast, US truck sales have risen 4.7% to 4.3 million u...
A vigorous court challenge is to be expected. New Work State’s general and 12 other top state law enforcement’s try to roll back vehicle emission rules announced by Trump’s administration before. In March, President Donald Trump ordered a review of U.S. vehicle fuel-efficiency standards from 2022-2025 put in place by the Obama administration, saying they were too tough on the auto industry. The push to weaken the rules by the Trump administration comes as automakers are worried that consumers shift to larger vehicles and low gas prices will make it expensive or impo...
Total US auto sales in May stood at 1,51 million vehicle units, which is about 0.5 lower than the car sales in US last year for the same month. Still, the May US auto sales figures were much stronger than its ~1.42 million vehicle units sold in April 2017. In May 2017, the US small car sales fell 9.3% YoY (year-over-year), while US truck sales rose 6.0% YoY. Weak small car sales were the primary reason for the overall lower US auto sales in May. US auto sales have dropped 2.0% YoY in the first five months of 2017 to ~6.98 million vehicle units. The US is the largest auto market in N...
Analysts are lowering estimates for 2017 vehicle sales after five months of industrywide deliveries declining from a year earlier. Among the reasons: automakers are showing more restraint on discounts than expected and gridlock in Washington reduces the likelihood of a second-half surge. Analysts reduced their full-year projections this spring, dialing the consensus back to 17.2 million light vehicles. The industry set a record with 17.55 million cars and light trucks sold last year, aided by a jump in shipments to rental-car companies and other fleet buyers. The auto industry has b...
People say everything beautiful comes to an end, this might sound not so optimistic, but considering the thing that the US auto sales boom is over, these words might be true. The sales pace for May came in under 17 million for a fourth consecutive month, signaling that another record year is unlikely. The best case is that 2017 will match 2016's 17.55 million. A pace of 18 million hasn't looked probable for some time, and in any case after two boom years, a jump of 500,000 vehicles sold by the end of 2017 would be a very hot market indeed. Specialists say that if we wan...
