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...
We’re used to seeing the South Korean automotive business flourishing, which is why we were a bit surprised when Hyundai Motor and its smaller sibling Kia Motors revealed these poor sales for May. These car companies registered double-digit fall against a year-ago period as they face tougher challenge from Chinese rivals in the largest automobile market. Hyundai Motor and Kia Motors shipped out a total of 482,968 vehicles last month, down 14.3 percent from a year earlier. Overseas sales of Hyundai Motor came to 307,362 units, down 16.5 percent on year, while those of Kia Motor...
Automakers are expected to report flat US car sales in May vs. a year earlier after demand fell in the first four months of 2017.

Tesla does not provide monthly sales figures. Tesla will soon start rolling out its mass-market Mod...
We’ve been a bit worried about the car market after Ford Motor announced that it plans to cut 10 percent of its salaried workers. General Motors didn’t show better results, it reported a 4.7 percent sales drop on April, just like Fiat Chrysler who might get sued for using illegal software which violate the U.S. clean-air rules. We’ve been trying to understand the reasons for the slump, and here’s what we got: Demand has peaked. Last year, there was a record vehicle sales volume of 17.55 million. But the National Automobile Dealers Association forecasts ...
FCA is on its way to recall more than 1.25 million pickups worldwide for a software error linked to reports of crash death and 2 injuries. This erroneous code could temporarily disable the side airbag and deployment seat of belt pretensioners- which reduce seat belt slack during impacts during a vehicle rollover spurred by a significant underbody impact, such as striking onroad debris or driving off-road. The company will reprogram computer modules in the affected vehicles to address this error. An FCA spokesman said the likelihood of an incident was very low because a sequence...
