Toyota Corolla Goes Electric...Sort Of

2008-06-10 09:45:00 There’s little doubt that Toyota will displace General Motors as the world’s biggest automaker when 2008 sales are finally tallied.

Toyota, by contrast, has been growing virtually everywhere it does business, ...

Toyota fuel cell Car
2008-06-08 10:02:00 Toyota Motors has said it finally has developed a new zero-emission fuel-cell vehicle that has a longer cruising distance than previous models and can operate in freezing temperatures.Many companies have been working to create a viable zero-emission car running on fuel cells, which produce electricity through a chemical reaction between hydrogen and oxygen, leaving water as the only by-product.Toyota engineers managed to control the amount of water produced inside the fuel-cell system, which previously interfered with electrical generation at low temperatures.Honda's Eco-Friendly Vehicle >>>The International Energy Agency estimated Friday that nearly a billion electric or fuel-cell vehicles may need to be put on the road as part of an "energy technology revolution" to halve greenhouse gas emissions by 2050.Hope these vehicles gain much popularity and reduce the Green House Effect

Toyota considering shifting Camry production to Indiana truck plant
2008-06-07 05:00:00 Toyota considering shifting Camry production to Indiana truck plant In the wake of America's mass exodus from large trucks and SUVs, Toyota is considering shifting production of its efficient Camry to its Indiana truck plant. Toyota sold 51,291 Camrys last month while Tundra sales slipped 31.5 percent. The future of the Indiana plant — which produces the Toyota Tundra pickup, Sequoia SUV and Sienna minivan — has been up in the air for several months now. Earlier reports suggest that Toyota would move Tundra production exclusively to its new plant in San Antonio, Texas, with the latest reports indicating Toyota would export vehicles made at its Indiana plant. The move to produce Camrys at its truck plant would seem to be a smart one for Toyota. Not only would it allowed Toyota to maximize its production capacity, but it would give the Japanese automaker a third U.S. Camry plant at a time when demand for fuel-efficient vehicles is on the rise. We're pretty...

Toyota launches updated version of zero-emissions FCHV fuel-cell vehicle
2008-06-07 00:46:00 Toyota launches updated version of zero-emissions FCHV fuel-cell vehicle Toyota announced on Friday that it has developed a new hydrogen fuel-cell vehicle that is far more advanced than the automaker's previous-generation fuel-cell vehicle. The new system now allows the vehicle — dubbed the FCHV-adv — to travel 516 miles on a single tank of hydrogen and it can operate in conditions as cold as -22 degrees F. Through changes to the vehicle's fuel-cell unit, braking system and a few other tweaks, Toyota engineers were able to improve the fuel-cell's fuel efficiency by 25 percent, according to Automotive News. Those changes combined with a bigger fuel tank and the doubling of storage pressure netted a new range of 516 miles — up from the previous FCHV's (pictured) range of 205 miles. Top speed is a respectable 97 mph. In comparison, Honda's FCX Clarity hydrogen fuel-cell sedan has a range of 385 miles and can operate in conditions from -22...

Chrysler is just as good as Toyota, at building cars that is
2008-06-06 04:09:00 Chrysler is just as good as Toyota, at building cars that is Chrysler's sales numbers may be in the tank, but the Michigan-based automaker has at least one thing to be proud of. A new report has found that Chrysler is tied with Toyota for production efficiency, and the Auburn Hills-based automaker even snagged the title of most productive North American plant for its Toledo, Ohio Jeep facility. According to the Harbour Report, it takes Chrysler just 30.37 labor hours to produce a vehicle, tying Toyota's mark. General Motors and Ford also saw improvements — now taking 32.29 and 33.88 labor hours per vehicle, respectively — but not enough to take the number one spot. Chrysler's Toledo South plant — which manufactures the Jeep Wrangler — also took the honor of most productive plant, requiring just 13.57 labor hours per vehicle. Number two on the list was GM's Oshawa, Ontario plant — which builds the Chevrolet Impala — at 15.1...

GM Tries to Reverse Course, but Can it Catch Toyota?
