Government and Automotives

Toyota dealer in St. LouisAs we embark on the upcoming presidential election, it is important to know how the results might impact the automotive industry.  There have been a lot of talks and debates about President Obama’s push for green technology and whether or not his efforts are paying off.  If President Obama is elected for another term, he will undoubtedly continue his efforts towards a goal of supplied the roads with one-million plug-in cars within the next three years.  This sounds like a great idea however according to autonews.com, “A disconnect is emerging between the White House and the auto industry over the short-term future of electric vehicles and plug-in hybrids.”

No one is arguing that electric and plug-in hybrid models aren’t great for the environment and for the pocketbook…the real question is, are Americans ready and/or prepared for them yet?  Better yet, is the market ready for them?  Most experts believe we have a ways to go, making Obama’s three year goal seem nearly impossible.  What are the set-backs?

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
