Toyota Hybrids Sale Hits 1 Million
Filed Under toyota | Comments Off
Zeke Gervis asked:
A decade since the first Prius hit the market (in Japan) Toyota’s global sales of hybrid vehicles have now reached a landmark 1 million, highlighting the giant Japanese automaker’s lead in “green” technology that has changed the face of the auto industry.
In a statement released Thursday last week, Toyota says it has sold 577,311 gasoline-electric hybrid vehicles in the USA from mid-2000, when it launched the Prius here, through May. Toyota’s worldwide sales of gas-and-electric-powered vehicles totaled 1.047 million as of the end of May. Nearly 345,000 of those were sold in Japan.
Sales of Toyota hybrids have climbed from 18,000 in 1998 to 312,500 last year, the company said.
Demand for hybrids, which deliver superior mileage by switching between a gasoline engine and electric motor, has soared amid higher fuel prices and greater consumer concern about pollution and global warming.
Toyota’s dominance in the category has caused Detroit’s automakers to follow with their own versions and to depend less on lower-mileage SUVs as the main engine for their profits.
The Prius is the hands-down leader in the category, with a total of 757,600 units sold since its 1997 introduction in Japan. Toyota began selling the Prius in North America, Europe and other places in 2000. Last year, the model made up an amazing more than 40 percent of hybrid sales in the U.S.
The Prius, which gets 55 miles a gallon on combined city and highway driving conditions, has been enormously popular as a mid-size sedan, a best-selling vehicle category.
Although most automakers are now working on hybrids, Toyota has the advantage of almost 10 years of experience in selling the technology, as well as in using feedback from drivers to make improvements, rather than relying on information from labs.
Toyota believes hybrid technology is the way of the future. It offers several other hybrid models, including the hybrid Camry and hybrid Lexus models.
“Hybrids will play a key role throughout our lineup,” Toyota spokesman Paul Nolasco said. “That means all vehicle categories.”
The company also started domestic sales of its most expensive hybrid, the 15 million yen — or about $124,000 at current exchange rates — Lexus LS 600h, which is also equipped with top of the line Lexus parts like the Lexus oxygen sensor. It will be exported over the summer, according to Toyota.
Not all hybrids however, enjoy the fortune like Toyota. Earlier this week, Honda Motor Co. said it will discontinue the hybrid version of its Accord sedans, which sold poorly because it didn’t fit the customer demand profile of the smallest, least expensive hybrids with the highest gas mileage.
Meanwhile, hybrid sport-utility vehicles have struggled in sales compared to the Prius, partly because an SUV doesn’t have a green image to start with, according to analysts.
Sales of Toyota’s RX400h hybrid SUV, sold as the Harrier in Japan, have reached 85,000 worldwide since it was introduced in 2005. Another hybrid SUV, the Highlander, or Kluger in Japan, has sold 67,000 over the same period.
The Prius, by contrast, has sold 478,800 units since the start of 2005.
Among American automakers, Ford Motor Co. offers the hybrid Escape sport-utility vehicle and General Motors Corp. sells the hybrid Saturn Vue Green Line sport-utility vehicle and hybrid trucks.
New hybrids are also reportedly in the works for GM this year – the automaker has promised four: two-mode gas-electric systems in the Chevrolet Tahoe and GMC Yukon large sport utility vehicles, and hybrid systems for the Saturn Aura and new Chevrolet Malibu sedans.
The next innovation in hybrids is expected to come from a new type of battery, called the lithium-ion battery, which will be smaller and lighter than the nickel-metal hydride batteries Toyota now uses for its hybrids.
A major breakthrough is needed to switch to lithium-ion batteries, now widely used in laptops, to make them power cars.
Mitsuo Kinoshita, a senior Toyota executive, has reportedly told reporters that the Japanese automaker was still working on developing a lithium-ion battery system for the next-generation Prius.

Toyota Invading the Truck and Bus Segment in India
Filed Under toyota | Comments Off
Evander Klum asked:
Toyota Motor Corporation, currently the largest auto maker in the industry, is fast tracking clear and definite plans to strengthen the company’s stability. They have settled braced foundation in each of their market, of which recently brought success in India. After Toyota thoroughly managed to prosper with their premium cars and multi-utility vehicles in the country, they are now opting to flourish in the truck and bus segment. In relation to that, the company is in negotiation to settle a manufacturing facility for the said commercial vehicles.
Hino was known to be the brand behind Toyota manufacturer’s trucks and buses. Since they were able to release 52,684 units sold in Japan and has exported a total of 47,550 units, they have concluded that the segment should be given focus this time. It has the potential to bring forth further success to Toyota. It can be noted that auto makers Volvo and Mercedes have earlier engaged in expanding their interest in the same segment. They are all attracted to the $5 billion market, which was initially dominated by Tata Motors and Ashok Leyland.
A source was reported to have said, “Earlier, Toyota had met Rajasthan government with plan of setting up its small car facility.”
“But the company has now decided to manufacture small car in Karnataka, at a brownfield plant at its existing facility in Bidadi,” they added. This was in relation to Toyota’s current plan of creating a manufacturing facility with the recognition of Rajasthan government.
According to an industry observer, “Any major auto manufacturing facility would require a minimum investment of Rs 1,500 crore.” They said “Rajasthan government plans to offer tailor made tax sops to the tune of about Rx 500 crore over a period of time for companies looking to invest in excess of Rs 1,000 crore.
Manufacturing facilities that is part of Toyota’s plan is not just for the commercial vehicles, but also for some of their luxury brands such as Lexus, and subsidiary brands such as Daihatsu.
As what was been discussed in an article, “Toyota is in parleys with the Karnataka government for additional land to set-up a housing society for its workforce.” This will eventually offer employment in the area and would further increase the availability of the cars in demand. Expansion on quality auto parts and accessories such as Toyota floor mats production might as well be prevalent to help further boost the on going project.
For now, we would just then be observing the progress as Toyota officials said, “As a policy we don’t comment on our future plans.”

A tail light serves many purposes such as providing safety and a better look also. The headlight in the front side enhances the look of a vehicle as well as provides light for night driving. But do you know why tail lights are important? During the night driving tail lights are used to warn the vehicles which are in the backside.

Toyota Opens New Ontario Plant in Gloomy Economic Market
Filed Under toyota | Comments Off
Matthew C. Keegan asked:
The business of planning, locating, designing and building new factories is a multi-year project one that can take three even as many as five years to complete depending on local building code restrictions, weather delays, and other impediments. During that time, the winds of business can shift abruptly turning a once great idea on its head.
For Toyota, the opening of a new factory in Ontario this month is being done with mixed feelings. On the one hand, the factory represents an excellent chance for the Japanese automaker to aid the local economy and spread goodwill among Canadians along with building passenger vehicles that consumers really want like the popular Toyota RAV4 sport/utility model. On the other hand, business is down and demand isn’t what it was as recently as this past summer, meaning Toyota needs to step carefully when ramping up production.
Located in Woodstock, the plant represents a CDN$1.1 billion dollar investment by Toyota. It is the first all new plant to be built in Ontario over the past twenty years and the company has spent tens of millions of dollars training new workers. The Woodstock plant is the only location outside of Japan where the RAV4 is built.
“Having the best workers helps attract the best jobs, and that’s why we’re so pleased to work with Toyota. Our government will continue working with the auto industry to secure good jobs for Ontario families,” said Ontario Premier Dalton McGuinty.
As of this writing, Toyota hasn’t said how many people will be employed at the plant, though the company does employ 4500 workers at its Cambridge plant where it builds several models including the Toyota Corolla and Matrix as well as the Lexus EX 350.
In 2007 Toyota passed General Motors to become the world’s largest automaker. Selling cars under the Toyota, Lexus and Scion nameplates, Toyota sells approximately nine million passenger vehicles worldwide. It is the second largest seller of vehicles in the United States, a market where year to date sales are down for all automakers. In Canada, the downturn is more recent, with Toyota sales near last year’s figures.

For Toyota, the opening of a new factory in Ontario this month is being done with mixed feelings. On the one hand, the factory represents an excellent chance for the Japanese automaker to aid the local economy and spread goodwill among Canadians along with building passenger vehicles that consumers really want like the popular Toyota RAV4 sport/utility model. On the other hand, business is down and demand isn’t what it was as recently as this past summer, meaning Toyota needs to step carefully when ramping up production.
Located in Woodstock, the plant represents a CDN$1.1 billion dollar investment by Toyota. It is the first all new plant to be built in Ontario over the past twenty years and the company has spent tens of millions of dollars training new workers. The Woodstock plant is the only location outside of Japan where the RAV4 is built.
“Having the best workers helps attract the best jobs, and that’s why we’re so pleased to work with Toyota. Our government will continue working with the auto industry to secure good jobs for Ontario families,” said Ontario Premier Dalton McGuinty.
As of this writing, Toyota hasn’t said how many people will be employed at the plant, though the company does employ 4500 workers at its Cambridge plant where it builds several models including the Toyota Corolla and Matrix as well as the Lexus EX 350.
In 2007 Toyota passed General Motors to become the world’s largest automaker. Selling cars under the Toyota, Lexus and Scion nameplates, Toyota sells approximately nine million passenger vehicles worldwide. It is the second largest seller of vehicles in the United States, a market where year to date sales are down for all automakers. In Canada, the downturn is more recent, with Toyota sales near last year’s figures.

2009 Toyota Trucks - Tacoma and Tundra
Filed Under toyota | Comments Off
Anna Smith asked:
The 2009 Toyota Tacoma and Tundra are the newest addition in the variety of Toyota cars ranging from luxury sport utilities to pick-up trucks. With solid build and an array of new features to enhance durability and reliability off the road Toyota trucks are ideal for heavy towing. Variety of engine, cab and pick up bed design and reasonable pricing earned Toyota the popularity it has today.
In the past trucks were simply meant for carrying loads and they looked somewhat similar and hence monotonous. But today with auto makers like Toyota things have changed to a great extent. Power output of trucks increased in keeping with size. Toyota gives you plenty of choices starting from basic cargo haulers to compact or mid-size trucks that can challenge a sedan in terms of luxury and comfort. The two main categories of Toyota trucks are Tacoma and Tundra.
The 2009 Toyota Tacoma is available in three cab styles – regular, extended or Access Cab and crew cab. Each one comes in varied body style and trims. So, there is something for everyone with Toyota. Tacoma buyers have 2.7L 4 cylinder engine and 4L V6 engine to choose from. For regular hauling V6 is obviously a better option.
For about a decade Toyota Tacoma has been the backbone in the line of Toyota’s compact pick up trucks. These trucks are smaller in scale with a towing capacity up to 3,000 pounds compared to a full size truck. Compact trucks give better mileage than their full-size counterparts. Toyota Tacoma 2WD having 4 cylinder 2.7L 5-speed manual engine has EPA fuel economy rate 20 mpg in city and 25 on highway while Tacoma 4WD of same capacity rates 17 in city and 22 for highway.
Those who have heavier towing needs better opt for Toyota Tundra which is a full-size truck with much higher tow capacity. Since Tundra’s launch in the beginning of the new millennium it gave a tough competition to the Big Three’s pick up truck versions. With superior V8 engine, additional comfort features and the reputation for durability Tundra emerged to be a popular one amidst recreational pickup buyers as well as serious truck users.
Toyota Tundra trucks are available in regular cab, double cab and CrewMax cab styles. The regular cab extends to double cab with an additional pair of forward-hinged doors while Tundra CrewMax with an extra large cab can carry up to 6 passengers.
The 2009 Toyota Tundra is available in 6 trims each for regular and CrewMax while double cab body style comes in 12 trims. Cargo bed size is also flexible for Tundra. You can have 2009 Tundra regular cab or double cabs having 6.5-foot to 8-foot bed, while the CrewMax comes with a 5.5-foot bed only. With wide variety of configurations it is much more convenient to use Tundra for hard-core towing as well as passenger hauling.
With flexibility in design, V6 and V8 engine options and high-end technological features to improve off-road ability it is easily understandable why Toyota Tundra was chosen for Truck Trend’s annual Truck of the Year award for 2008.

You Can Maintain Your Toyota
Filed Under toyota | Comments Off
Groshan Fabiola asked:
According to a survey, the car is one of the most loved personal possessions in America. American males are just crazy about their cars and spend a lot of time and money on their maintenance. Of course, the money is spent on service engineers who charge you big money for little jobs. What if you could maintain your car yourself. If you knew enough to replace things like Toyota power steering pump and Toyota starter?
Car engineering is not rocket science. Most of the required maintenance work is actually quite simple. As long as you’re not trying to change the transmission, or take the engine apart, you should be able to carry out the repairs yourself. Start learning about things one at a time. First start with theory. Find out how the Toyota power steering pump works; what makes the Toyota starter tick?; what’s a fuel filter; and how the engine converts the fuel into power.
The Internet can be a valuable research tool in your efforts to learn about your car’s mechanics. In fact you’ll find many step-by-step videos on the Internet that will show you how to do everything with your car. Since most modern cars work on similar principles, if you see a video showing how to replace a power steering pump, you should be able to use that knowledge to service your Toyota power steering pump, and the same goes for the Toyota starter.
One important thing to remember is that all cars are similar in principle, they differ in implementation and of course in tools needed. The spanner that works on a Chevrolet may not work for a Toyota power steering pump. So make sure you’ve got the right tools before you set out to service your car yourself. Otherwise you might find yourself find yourself in a situation where you’ve taken half of your car apart to replace the Toyota car starter and then you find you don’t have the right to open an odd sized screw.
If you’re on friendly terms with a car engineer, you can ask him. This information is also available in the car’s service manual and many websites. If you’re in doubt, you can also ask for information on one of the bigger car forums. There are many Toyota enthusiasts who know everything about the Toyota power steering pump, the Toyota starter or every other Toyota part you can imagine, and they are usually glad to help. Just remember to be polite when you ask a question.
Just as growing plants sounds simple principally (put in a seed, water everyday), the videos or the manuals may make maintaining the car simple too. But not everybody has a green thumb, and not everybody has a greasy collar, so before you set out to service that faulty Toyota starter yourself, make sure you’ve got the talent. If you find it troublesome to change a tire, don’t try to replace the Toyota power steering pump. You’ll have more luck finding a professional.
If you’re mechanically inclined then you’re in luck. By learning to service your car yourself, you can not only save thousands of dollars in maintenance costs you can also give your car the extra care and love it deserves. If you love your Toyota, it definitely pays to learn how to service it. After all, you want your Toyota starter and Toyota power steering pump always running perfectly. Don’t’ you?

Toyota Solicits Testimonials From Hybrid Owners
Filed Under toyota | Comments Off
Mark Clarkson asked:
Toyota Motor Corp. is soliciting written and video testimonials from 10,000 hybrid owners. Though hybrid owners only represent less than 2 percent of the overall automobile sales market, Toyota is passionate about them. The automaker believes that customer testimonials can draw more customers.
One of the customers who have given Toyota hybrid testimonial is Craig, a Los Angeles-based Prius owner. Along with other hybrid owners who have given their testimonials, Craig is now on toyota.com/hybrids site. Other customer testimonials will make their way into broadcast spots.
Peter Kang, creative director of emerging technology at Saatchi & Saatchi, Los Angeles, Toyota’s primary agency, said he is now editing such footage for future ad campaigns. “These spots will be literally the same content as on the site, only in a different format. It’s easy to find people who are passionate for their hybrids, and these people will list their reasons for owning or being interested in hybrid technology. These people will be part of 15-second spots and they give very honest answers about what life is about and how this car is important to them,” Kang said.
Auto analysts are warning the automaker about the consequences of the move. Chevrolet had ventured in similar effort with its Tahoe unfortunately; it stumbled on the way. “It makes the people nervous to allow the consumer to get into this, but we monitor and filter the blogs,” said Gregg Benkendorfer, Toyota’s national manager of interactive marketing. “We don’t edit, but we filter; the last thing we need is a video by some guy with his girlfriend draped across a Prius.”
Toyota is the finest when it comes to hybrid car manufacture. To maintain this standing, the automaker intends to unveil a hybrid-only model in 2009. Asahi Shumbun, a Japanese newspaper, earlier reported that the model will be a midsize sedan with a 2.5- to 3-liter-engine, larger than that of the 1.5-liter Prius hatchback. The latter is Toyota’s first hybrid car. It is known for its cutting-edge Toyota parts for Prius. The model will be offered to the American hybrid market that prefers bigger auto engines.
Asahi Shumbun also reported that Toyota will also be considering other hybrid-only models like the minivan and the station wagon. In this regard, the automaker is developing a new hybrid system that is more affordable. It will be installed on Prius and other hybrid sedans.
