Daimler AG’s Mercedes-Benz jumped out to an early lead in the race for U.S. luxury car sales supremacy, posting a record January after winning the crown last year for the first time since 2013. Mercedes sold 25,527 cars and light trucks in the U.S. last month, a 3.5 percent increase from a year earlier. Following a year in which premium car models lost market share to light trucks, the brand scored significant gains with sedans last month, as the C-Class jumped 27 percent and E-Class surged 49 percent. Dietmar Exler, chief executive officer of the Atlanta-based U.S. unit, clai...
It didn't took look for Japan to give an answer to the intensifying trade pressure from US President Donald Trump with Prime Minister Shinzo Abe rumored to be meeting the head of Toyota Motor Corp this week and business lobby Keidanren setting up a Trump task force.

The fallout has already begun, with Ford Motor Co. shaving $300 million from its financial-services arm’s profit f...

General Motors is gonna invest $1 billion along with 1,500 new jobs in US. In addition to the $2.9 billion investment the company announced in 2016 and more than $21 billion the company has invested in the U.S. since 2009. GM also said it will start moving axle production for its pickup trucks in the U.S., including work previously done in Mexico, to plants in Michigan. The company expects that move will create a...
The EPA yesterday told an automaker lobbyist group that it will not extend the deadline for a review of strict fuel economy standards through the 2025 vehicle model year, indicating the agency will push ahead with a plan to make the rules final before the Obama administration leaves office Jan. 20. Acting EPA Assistant Administrator Janet McCabe informed the Alliance of Automobile Manufacturers, which includes most major automakers in the U.S. market.
