General Motors, as well as other automakers, report October U.S. sales, amid concerns about waning demand, a potentially maxed-out auto-loan market and incentives' impacts on profits. However, Ford Motor will not be among them, as the automaker said that it will release results later this week due to a fire at its Dearborn, Michigan, headquarters that knocked out power to data systems. General Motors, meanwhile, was expected to report October sales of 246,512 autos, down 6.3% year over year. U.S. sales for Fiat Chrysler Automobiles are seen falling 10.6% to 178,2...
German politicians are calling for a total ban on internal combustion engines by 2030, and, not content with deciding their own affairs, they also want it to apply across the whole European Union. Although we can agree a bit on the thing that plug-in cars are better for the environment, we were thinking on how will the EU react to that? People are used to these powerful petrol cars, and banning them wouldn't it mean banning all of the car lovers? The Bundesrat, or federal council, is asking the EU not just to consider its proposals to outlaw petrol and diesel cars, but to implem...
It's three-quarters of the way through the year, and green-car watchers can probably surmise that 2016 won't likely be a banner year for sales of hybrids, plug-in hybrids, or – gasp – diesels. Through September, US green-car sales have fallen a solid 19 percent from a year earlier to about 321,000 units.

With that context, then, September wasn't a bad month: last month's green-car sales were down just one percent from a year earlier to more than 40,000 vehicles. &n...
This August U.S. gasoline consumption hit a new peak of 9.7 million barrels a day, a growth in demand that many oil bulls believe will be the driver for higher crude oil prices. Specialists are forecasting a increase of gasoline consumption by 1.9% to 9.33 million barrels a day in 2016, it means the record set in 2007 will be surpassed. Even though the gasoline growth is stronger than ever now, a downside in the industry is still predicted. Fuel efficient vehicles are likely to gain more popularity on greater environmental awareness. The world started to realize the need for cleaner...
This Wednesday the Volkswagen AG Chief Executive Matthias Mueller said he is hopeful the German automaker can reach agreement by the end of the year with the U.S. government on the size of a fine to settle a criminal investigation of the company's alleged violations of U.S. clean air laws. He added that he sees a good progress toward an agreement with U.S. regulators that could allow Volkswagen to repair certain 3.0 liter diesel engines that emit more pollutants than U.S, law allows. Speculation that the U.S. Justice Department will demand a multibillion-dollar fine to settle a ...
