Toyota Camry knocks out Ford F-150 as top-selling vehicle in the U.S.

Posted by Toyota of Greensburg on 4:04 PM

Ford may build tough cars, but it got some tough news on Tuesday.

There’s a new king of the road.

The Detroit auto giant’s flagship F-150 pickup is no longer the top-selling vehicle in the U.S., according to a report from Experian Automotive.

The popular truck was unseated by the Toyota Camry, which overcame supply shortages due to last year’s tsunami in Japan, several parts recalls and the risk of a design overhaul.

Toyota sold 209,000 Camrys from January to June this year, outselling F-150s by just 7,000 vehicles, Experian said.

The F-150 had been No.1 and the Camry ranked second in the first six months of 2011.

Honda Civic was a distant third this year, with 158,000 sold.

Experian, which based its findings on new vehicle registration figures, also found that midrange cars were the highest-selling category this year, with 27.4% of all sales, led by the Camry.

Posted by Toyota of Greensburg on 3:04 PM

TORRANCE, Calif., September 6 — NHRA Top Fuel points leader Antron Brown has hatched an extreme concept for his Sequoia in the Toyota Racing Dream Build Challenge (www.ToyotaRacingDreamBuild.com). Straight line speed is what Top Fuel is all about, and Brown is leaving no stone unturned to make sure his vehicle is the fastest of the four in the competition.

“The build process is going to be intense…blood, sweat, and tears,” said Brown. “We’re chopping it down, we’re making it low, we’re making it mean, we’re making it aggressive, and in all…we’re making it fast!”

Plans for the “Dragquoia” include 33-inch drag slicks, a big TRD blower, nitrous, and custom chassis fabrication. Brown wants to make sure that it’ll go fast…from his house, to the grocery store.

But the competition is going to be fierce. NASCAR stars Kyle Busch and Clint Bowyer are currently modifying a Camry sedan and a Prius hybrid, respectively, while NHRA Funny Car driver Alexis DeJoria is reworking a Tundra pickup truck. Though the drivers are competing for glory against one another, the real victor will be the winning driver’s charity of choice, which will receive a $50,000 check from Toyota.

Voting will open on Oct. 20 and continue for 10 days. Fans will be able to vote once per day via Facebook and enter to win prizes, including a Toyota Racing “Dream Trip”, which will be given away to one lucky fan.

The final vehicle builds will be unveiled at a press conference in the Toyota display at the SEMA show in Las Vegas on Oct. 30. Fans will be able to tune in live to watch the entire press conference and see the winner announced in real time.

Toyota aims to take fuel cells beyond vehicles

Toyota continues to break ground in the field of hydrogen fuel cells

Famed Japanese automaker Toyota recently announced that it would be developing a full-fledged hydrogen-powered vehicle. The automaker is among the first to produce a commercially successful hybrid vehicle, the Prius, which laid the foundation for future iterations of alternative energy transportation. Though Toyota has become a powerful name in the alternative energy sector, it still has a strong focus on traditional vehicles, which puts the company at odds with fuel efficiency standards that are coming from many of the world’s governments. Compelled by these standards, the automaker has set its sights on making more energy efficient power systems for more than just vehicles.

Fuel standards push automaker to innovate

Fuel efficiency standards are meant to encourage automakers to develop cleaner vehicles that cut down on the level of fuel consumption. These standards are not optional, and the auto industry is forced to comply if they want to avoid fines and continue operating in some of the world’s most popular markets. While some automakers have found the fuel efficiency standards of some countries problematic, Toyota sees them as an opportunity to develop and market new energy systems. As such, the automaker has developed a hydrogen fuel cell system that can be used to power electrical devices and home appliances.

FC Bus and V2H projects add new depth to fuel cells

The hydrogen fuel cell system is actually part of a bus, called the FC Bus. The system generates electricity for the vehicle’s engines while also supplying this electricity to those traveling on the bus. Toyota suggests that the FC Bus can provide power for a variety of mobile electronics and that the system serves as a precursor to a vehicle-to-home (V2H) project that the company is currently developing. This V2H energy system would funnel the electricity generated by a fuel cell-equipped vehicle to a home, providing power for appliances.

Toyota to test new projects beginning in 2013

Toyota estimates that testing for the new V2H will begin at some point in 2013. During these tests, the FC Bus will be used. Toyota’s FC Buses will also participate in the Toyota City Low-Carbon Verification Project, which aims to promote the use of low-emissions technologies in a variety of sectors, transportation included. Toyota is one of the companies looking to make use of hydrogen fuel cells beyond the transportation environment, where they have managed to garner the most of their popularity.
