The latest car sales data shows that in September 2016, the sales volume of entry-level luxury cars in the US fell 17.4% year-over-year (or YoY) to 49,118 vehicle units. We should say that it is a significant decline. For the same period, the sales of entry-level luxury SUVs rose 12.6% YoY to 54,145 units, and the sales of entry-level sports cars fell 9% YoY to 25,408 units. Top car models in these entry-level luxury and sports vehicle segments were the BMW 3 Series, Mercedes-Benz C-Class, Lexus RX, Ford Mustang, Chevrolet Camaro, and Dodge Challenger. A total of 11,590 mid-range lu...
September’s auto sales in the US stood at 1,428,000 vehicle units. This was ~0.5% lower than US auto sales of 1,435,000 vehicle units in September 2015. In August 2016, auto sales stood at 1,506,000 in the US. The US auto industry has witnessed good times in the past couple of years. In 2015, US auto sales were at their peak, with ~17.4 million vehicles sold during the year. This certainly boosted the confidence of these automakers. However, it also ignited a debate about US auto sales being at peak levels and a possible downturn in US auto demand going forward. Through September 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...
Almost a week passes without some announcement from automakers, suppliers – even ride-hailing services – about the impending arrival of self-driving cars. Experts claim that a fully automated vehicle that is 100 percent safe 100 percent of the time and can operate on any street in any weather condition in the U.S. is not right around the corner. The obstacles to perfecting and mass producing fully automated vehicles that can safely transport a passenger door-to-door with no human intervention are formidable: sensing equipment, such as cameras, lidar and radar, has to ge...
This September US electric car sales have risen 0,87%, it is already a big plus for the green cars market, even though it still has a long way to go. The plug-in cars market is dominated just like a few years ago by Tesla, and a few other models like Chevy Volt, Ford Fusion Energi and Nissan Leaf-that keeps hanging in there despite the growing and coming competition. We were expecting for the green cars sales to grow, and evolve, because we have great expectations that by 2025 the country will be dominated by these types of vehicles. But, we couldn't help but obse...
