It has been more than hundred years since the first car was born, and
our industry is now facing several challenges. Offering safe cars is a
given for any automaker, but one can say the greatest challenges are
"conserving energy" and "reducing greenhouse gas."

Midsize Truck Shootout: Toyota Tacoma comes out on top!
ONTARIO, Calif.
?
They're practical and fun, and would seem right for the times. But
somehow, midsize pickups just aren't taken seriously. Their sales are
just 20% of full-size models', according to sales tracker Autodata.
Roughly 300,000 were sold last year, vs. 1.5 million full-size trucks To
figure out why they are still around, and which is best, Cars.com's
PickupTrucks.com website and USA TODAY tested seven models for the
Midsize Pickup Truck Shootout. The smallest pickups really have grown
into midsize machines, though sometimes they still are called compacts.
Seven
trucks were tested, quite a few for a segment so small and a reason
it's hard to make money selling midsize pickups, having to split a
modest market so many ways.
All trucks were 2012s, except for the 2011 Ranger. Ford killed it after the 2011 model, but it was in production at the time of the Shootout, so it was included. The judges were USA TODAY's Chris Woodyard; PickupTrucks.com editor Mark Williams; Dan Sanchez, author and editor of a number of truck publications; and Trevor Reed, editor of Work Truck Review and freelancer.
Their collective view: Toyota Tacoma was the clear winner. (Click Here for Full Article)

Ford/Toyota Collaboration
Thank you, Mr. Kuzak. We have just signed a memorandum of
understanding for collaboration with Ford. Both companies will now begin
making preparations for joint work on new technologies. We are counting
on those technologies to benefit customers in the United States and
around the world.
Toyota achieved a breakthrough in these challenges in nineteen
ninety-seven (1997). That is when we launched the first-generation Prius
as the world's first mass-production gasoline-electric hybrid.
Since then, we have begun producing hybrid vehicles in the United
States, China, Europe, Australia, and Thailand, as well as in Japan. We
have sold about three-point-three (3.3) million hybrid vehicles in about
eighty (80) nations.
Our collaboration with Ford is a move to make hybrid technology
more widely available in sport-utility vehicles and in trucks. Those
kinds of models are indispensable to American customers. And providing
them with our hybrid technology will help conserve energy and reduce
output of greenhouse gas here in the United States. That was our
thinking in considering the collaboration. (click here for full article)
