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...
One of the main questions surrounding Tesla is its ability to ramp up production to satisfy the almost 400,000 existing Model 3 orders, and the hundreds of thousands of orders that are supposed to follow. Past isn’t necessarily indicative of the future, but on Tesla’s earnings call just now things didn’t sound all roses. The company ended up losing $293 million last quarter on a GAAP (Generally Accepted Accounting Principles) basis, and $150 million on a non-GAAP basis, which takes into account things like leases that GAAP generally doesn’t adjust for. ...
Toyota Corolla is the new big hit in the auto industry, the new model has ended the Hyundai 130's record four-month winning streak. After the Korean car brand has removed the discount of $7500 on Hyundai models, it was pretty obvious that a new king-car is gonna take its place and this time it's Corolla. An 11-year sales high in June across all small vehicles has been posted by Hyundai i30, but it took a massive down this month by a staggering 65 per cent, from 6400 to just 2200. Hyundai costs at around $19,990 with its big discount, but once the discouns was done ...
Despite the ongoing emissions scandal and slumping U.S. sales, Volkswagen Group overtakes Toyota as the largest automaker in 2016's first half. Its sales volume raised 1,5% from the year-earlier period to 5,11 million vehicles. Of course, the scandal involving Volkswagen's diesel models has had a significant impact on sales, but the automaker's Audi luxury brand and mass-media market Skoda brand did well. This was due to the fact that consumers in Europe were less aware of emissions problems with those two brands. China, being the world's largest automobile market, ...
We guess that there is no person who has not heard about the VW diesel-emissions scandal. The company, which owns 70 percent of the U.S. passenger-car diesel market, is in major trouble for cheating on diesel-emissions tests. However, this scandal did not prevent the company to take the leading position in its sales for the first half of the year. The analyzed figures show that Volkswagen Group sold over 5 million cars and light trucks worldwide and more than any other automaker in the first half of 2016. According to the Center for Automotive Management, the carmaker sold up 0.8 p...
