TMMMS Adds Shift for Corolla Production

The Toyota Motor Corporation spent most of the year last year fighting for their position in sales. Due to extreme circumstances the company was forced to do whatever they needed to do to keep their profit in the green. Aside from dealing with the struggling American economy and the rise in value of the yen, they were also faced with natural disasters which threatened the production and processes of many of their plants. However, by the end of the year they were able to put it together and come out even for the year.

While their efforts may have been pushed to the extreme a few of their vehicles kept bringing in the sales for the company. Some of these included the Toyota Camry, the Toyota Camry Hybrid, the Toyota Prius and the Toyota Corolla car. Each of these represents a different segment, each having great success within their respective segments. The Toyota Motor Corporation devised a plan to expand the production of the Toyota Corolla at their Mississippi plant. As it currently stands they recently added the necessary second shift at their Mississippi plant to accommodate the expansion. Now there are approximately 2, 000 people employed at the United States plant. You can find the newest Toyota Corolla car St. Louis as well as used versions of the Corolla car at your favorite local MO dealership.

“Adding a second shift is a significant milestone for us,” said David Copenhaver, vice president of administration at TMMMS. “Our team members’ strong work ethic and focus on quality and safety has begun to pay dividends for Corolla customers across North America as we continue production ramp up through spring.”

Toyota’s Stance On E15 Fuel

Image
E15 fuel is a source of fuel that is currently catching a lot of heat from people in the automotive industry.  It is a fuel source that consists of 15 percent ethanol and 85 percent gasoline.  The most common type of gasoline that is currently used is E10.  Supporters of this new fuel source believe it will help lower the cost of gasoline for consumers and it will help people become more independent in the energy category. Experts in the auto industry who do not believe in the benefits of this fuel argue that the added alcohol in the make-up will cause potential corrosion in the engine and through the major components of the vehicle, making the cost of repairs far more substantial than any savings at the pump could offset.  When you add the issues of car warranties being potentially invalid due to the use of fuel that isn’t recommended by the manufacturer of most vehicles, you may find it’s not the best choice for your vehicle. Toyota has commented on the fuel saying, “E15 fuel hasn’t

Social Media Strategy with Toyota Cars

Image
Recently autonews.com interviewed Jack Hollis, the Marketing Vice President of the Toyota Division.  Hollis touched on some important factors of selling Toyota cars in this upcoming year.  One thing is for sure, marketing across all businesses will not be able to overlook the power of social media this year.  It has quickly become a rising star in the world of business and sales and people of all ages are turning to it when shopping for products. Hollis spoke about the big social media outlets and how Toyota will use them to promote their brand.  Specifically, he mentioned Facebook, Pinterest, Instagram, and Twitter.  Hollis believes that the “return investment is based upon how you used these all together in a strategic form, not one-by-one on a tactical form.”  In other words, Toyota does not see one of these outlets as more important than another.  They are all very important and should be used together to maximize the benefits our current market has with the availability of social
