Hundred of thousands of BMW owners found out that their cars may have the same fault as the one that caused a death in a crash in 2016. The carmaker issued a recall which affects around 312, 00 UK vehicles after a BBC investigation showed the scale of the problem. The affected models are BMW 1 Series, 3 Series, Z4 and X1 diesel and petrol models that were made between March 2007 and August 2011. Narayan Gurung died on Christmas Day 2016 when he crashed into a tree in Hampshire while swerving to avoid a BMW which stalled due to an electrical fault. An investigation by BBC Watchdog, t...
Guess who promised to reform its corporate culture from the ground up? It’s Subaru! After the automaker admitted to faking the fuel economy and emissions data on Japan vehicles for at least five years, Subaru wants to grow a brand new culture.Subaru said inspectors at its Gunma and Yajima plants in Japan, where it assembles nameplates such as the Impreza, Outback and Forester, altered fuel economy and emissions data on 903 vehicles. The faulty inspections did not affect export vehicles. The manipulation began in December 2012 but may have started as early as 2002, Subaru said. A lac...
Just like we have previously reported you, April wasn’t the best month for major automakers. Ford, Nissan, Fiat Chrysler and even Toyota have presented low car sales data, and here it comes Subaru with the best April in its history.The gain is entirely attributable to the Crosstrek, which is all-new for 2018. Sales of the compact, raised crossover climbed almost 70 percent for the month to 12,266. Year to date, Subaru has sold 45,728 Crosstreks, an increase of 66.6 percent. That helped push Subaru's total U.S. sales to 53,170 in April and 202,873 fo...
In 2017 Volvo has made an announcement that all the models released from 2019 will be partially or fully electric. Today, the automaker goes even further, planning to sell over 50% of fully electric vehicles by 2025. This strategy to generate half of the company’s sales from electric cars by 2025 gives Volvo an advantage in China which is the world’s leading market for electrified cars. The Chinese government plans for more than 20 percent of the country’s annual auto sales to be alternative-energy cars. This is more than seven million cars, based on government for...
Auto sales slowed in April because of the continuing decline in demand for compact cars and sedans are setting a dark tone as car makers head into the summer selling season. Car sales decreased more than 5% this month compared with the same period last year, analysts think this is partially because there were two fewer selling days this month. Oil prices going up and credit conditions getting tougher create concerns for car maker’s executives. Pickup trucks and sport-utility vehicles continue to perform well amid relatively low fuel prices. But gasoline is continuing...
