There is still much space for the US auto sales to grow. Many car industry leaders have expressed their worries that the six-year expansion is about to lose steam. The analysts believe that the peak has passed, but car makers are still not ready to accept that. The seasonally adjusted, annualized rate of sales, a broad measure of the industry's health, peaked at 18.15 million light vehicles during the current cycle in October 2015. The pent-up demand following 2008-9 downturn has been exhausted, at least that's what economists think. Because of that they have predicted an anticipa...
July's green-car sales results, while still somewhat tepid, were enough to make auto-industry watchers downright patriotic, as increased demand for Ford and General Motors' hybrids and plug-in vehicles partially salvaged what was still a tough month. In fact, take out the impact of Volkswagen's continued stop-sale on diesel vehicles (of which more than 8,000 were sold in July 2015), and green-car sales were about dead-even with year-earlier figures. As it was, US green-car sales fell 17 percent to about 40,500 units. As for plug-in vehicles, demand spiked 20 percent from a year ear...
It seems like the energy independence is getting stronger in the US car market. The leading company that has brought this modernization into the country is Tesla Motors. There are of course and other companies which had positive impact on the hybrid-cars sales like Chevrolet. This July can be called a memorable month for green cars thanks to the 48% surge, mostly on Tesla vehicles, but we need to not forget also about Chevy Volt, BMW i3, Ford Fusion Energi and Chevy Spark EV. Other EV models have also felt a powerful sales growth, but even so their volumes are smaller than the ...
There are many signs already that U.S. new vehicle market has slowed down, at the end of July the reports have showed that the industry reached the strongest selling rate. Within July, sales were 1.1% ahead of last year's record pace. The selling rate has grown less than it was expected, that is why many automakers started to fight the stagnation with some powerful incentives. If all of these car brands are protecting their share, doesn't it mean the market is plateauing? The Ford's vice president said that the marketing is more competitive in the last six years. More th...
According to the latest data from General Motors, the second-generation Chevy Volt continues to rack up impressive sales numbers. It has been announced that the sales of the Chevy Volt have now reached 100,000 units. This is probably due to a growing demand for alternatively powered automobiles. Steve Majoros, Director of Marketing, Chevrolet Cars and Crossovers, says that the model delivers not just a fun driving experience behind the wheel. It has become the first vehicle with plug-in electrification technology to truly become mainstream. Last month, GM's plug-in hybrid sold a...
