How far has the U.S. market tilted toward pickups, SUVs and crossovers? Automakers are on pace to sell more than 10 million light trucks in a single calendar year for the first time. Meanwhile, car sales are on pace to fall below 7 million this year for the first time since 2011 and only the fourth time since 1962. So while it's increasingly unlikely that 2016 will beat last year's record for total light-vehicle volume, sales of the big vehicles that generate the bulk of many automakers' profits are at an all-time high. From that perspective, with gasoline prices expect...
From the moment EVs made their debut in U.S. till nowadays, plug-in hybrids have made a long way. Just by seeing the glorious results made by introducing Tesla's Model S to the car market, we can make a conclusion on how much the industry was able to change within 6 years. Nissan just sold its 100,000 Leaf in the US. BMW, too, would have you know that it has been pulling its weight in this grand acceleration of EVs. In fact, the German automaker has also recently hit a major milestone since it first launched battery-powered cars under its i sub-brand. BMW has announced that it has ach...
For the first time modern plug-in electric cars became available in U.S. in December 2010, the times when Nissan Leaf and Chevrolet Volt's first generation became available on the car market. After a short time president Barack Obama set the goal of putting 1 million plug-in cars on U.S. roads by 2015. This goal wasn't reached. In fact, U.S. electric-car sales have only just gotten halfway there. Combined U.S. sales of battery-electric cars and plug-in hybrids surpassed 500,000 units as of September, according to the U.S. Department of Energy. Specifically, sales since ...
BMW is recalling 136,188 vehicles in the United States and another 18,284 in Canada due to improperly crimped wiring for the fuel pump in the gas tank. The affected models are: 2010-2011 5-Series Gran Turismo2011-2012 528I2011-2012 535I2011-2012 550I2012 640I2012 650I2007-2011 X52008-2011 X62010-2011 X6 ACTIVEHYBRID The in-tank fuel pumps on these vehicles have insufficiently crimped wire contacts. This causes an increase in contact resistance and extra heat. Over time, the plastic around the contact pins can melt, and this can allow fuel to leak. If the pump isn’t workin...
We expect the U.S. car sales numbers to arrive this Tuesday and Nissan Motor. Co is probably gonna be the winner this October, getting the largest market share. Tyhe company's sales may have slipped only 1.5% in October, but if we compare it to General Motors which sales fell approximately 6.9% and Ford Motor with a drop of 11% than these results are pretty great. What actually stays behind thiese good sales results?! It's something we do not discuss in public every day, but something real, the aggressive dealer-incentive program that keeps its sales stronger than ever. Niss...
