Toyota Rules the September Sales
Toyota Motor Corp. is taking pleasure in not only the prestige given to it by car critics and aficionados but the results of the September sales. The limelight, along with its gratifying benefits is now seized by the automaker.
According to the September sales report, automakers sold a total of 1.35 million cars and trucks in the U.S. Toyota sold 25 percent more than its sales last year of the same month.
Among the vehicles that rank high in sales are Toyota Camry, Corolla and Yaris. The increase in sales also benefited Toyota Corolla parts as well as that of Camry and Yaris
Toyota sold 222,950 vehicles in September. Toyota's car sales soared 18.4 percent while truck sales increased by 34.9 percent. Erich Merkle, an analyst with Grand Rapids-based auto consulting company IRN Inc. said, "They're this 800-pound gorilla out there that nobody can stop."
The sales figures of Toyota's Tundra pickup have increased by 12,609 units, 74 percent higher than the previous record.
However, it is way behind the leading Ford F-Series, with 70,822 units sold. Chevrolet Silverado lands on the second spot with51,964 units sold.
Xavier Dominicis, Toyota spokesman said, "Tundra sales were in part fueled by fall incentives aimed at making room for the 2007 model, which goes on sale in February. The offers vary by region."
GM sold 334,025 vehicles. Said figure is 3.1 percent lower than the previous year's sales. Critics are saying that greater part of the loss is attributed to the auto giant's plan to wean low-profit fleet sales to rental companies.
Paul Ballew, GM's executive director of global market and industry analysis, noted that even though there was a shift back toward trucks in the past six weeks, Ballew wants to wait until the fourth quarter prior to enunciating future trends. He added, "I think it's too early to say that all the pressures from gas prices are gone."
On the bright side of it, Ford has benefited 4.7 percent gain in sales. Ford's gain to 237,664 vehicles was triggered largely by car purchases, which has increased by 26.2 percent. Nonetheless, the automaker has suffered 5.5 percent truck sales reduction. The figures include Volvo, Jaguar and Land Rover ? all are Ford's brands.

Reverse Backing Systems Sets out to Save Fleet Owners Big Money
(ContentDesk) November 28, 2005 -- Reverse Backing Systems (RBS) takes proactive to a new level with exclusive collision avoidance technology geared specifically for the fleet industry. RBS contends that by investing in a system that will prevent accidents, fleet owners can save millions of dollars, collectively, in property damage and insurance costs. Our products lower operating costs by increasing fleet safety, summarizes Jared Jolly, CEO and President.Each year in the US there are over 300,000 reported reversing accidents, which account for more than 400 deaths annually and cost drivers in excess of 1.3 billion dollars in damages. Since fleet drivers are on the road much more than typical drivers (who have a 1 in 15 chance of being involved in a collision each year), their chances of being in an accident are higher. Consider the repercussions of crashes in addition to physical harm and property damages, there can be a loss of productivity and potential third-party liability...

Toyota Truck Recall: Tacoma, 4Runner, Tundra, and Sequoia
A wide scale recall is the last resort for a car company to take with a problematic vehicle, and most automotive problems do not even make it to recall stage. Toyota has been known to avoid issuing recalls at all cost, preferring to issue safety warnings and avoid covering repair costs on vehicles that are beyond warranty. This should put this year's massive Toyota truck recall into perspective.This May, Toyota Motor Corp issued one of its largest safety recalls in history. Toyota is recalling more than 750,000 pickup trucks and SUV's because of problems with the front suspension that could make the vehicles difficult to steer. The recall covers 775,000 vehicles in the United States alone, including 2001-2004 model years of the Toyota Tacoma, the 2001-2002 models of Toyota 4Runner and the 2002-2004 model Tundra and Sequoia.During the manufacturing of these vehicles, the surface of the front suspension ball joint was scratched.
