Toyota Motor and BMW will continue to strengthen their collaboration, as they have already worked together on some successful projects in the past.
Both the giant automobile companies, Toyota Motor Corp (ADR) (NYSE:TM) and BMW, are looking forward to extend their current cooperation. The Chief Finance Officer of German automobile company, Friedrich Eichiner, acknowledged about their alliance on Tuesday.
The conversation between the finest automaker by profit sales and the largest vendor of grand luxury cars came as the worldwide auto business faced disruption due to evolution of latest knowledge and development of regulatory stress to divide transmissions and release advance security options among all automobiles. Both the organizations, Toyota Motor and BMW, have worked together in the past also, to develop a car that runs on gasoline and a reconstructed BMW 5-series with a hydrogen engine.
Mr. Eichiner directed reporters on the sideline of the Frankfurt Motor Present that each company is determined and showing interests regarding increasing their collaboration. He further affirmed that however, these companies are not considering about any kind of capital trade.
Under the increasing pressure to invest money over new knowledge and from slower progress rate in the business, such cooperation has become extra vital. Currently, the collaboration to bring something new required more investment from BMW and Toyota financials.
In order to defeat the collaboration, several automobiles companies are following the same trend of alliance to chase the corporate giant. For example, one of the powerful competitors against BMW, Daimler AG, is looking forward to collaborate with Renault Nissan. Both organizations are planning to work together to construct small but fast and premier car that will be launched soon.
Mr. Eichiner further acknowledged that he expected no indication of improvement in China’s market. China automotive profit sales are showing decline because the financial system growing. The Chinese language authorities have vowed to interfere to offshoot progress once more.
It is expected that the fall in China’s market may follow the same downward trend. It is very difficult to anticipate the time by which the market would show some raise or perhaps it would remain the same for some years, which would definitely affect the gross sales of both companies.
Both automotive companies are still analyzing the potential of many dealers to provide high-quality production parts in substantial quantities, which are acceptable to meet their strategy towards production. Their main objective is to build their production ramp stronger for the future among all the competitors.
The strong alliances would promote and boost business based on mutual understanding and cooperation.
The auto making giant could be facing serious competition from German auto maker Audi which has announced plans of making a new SUV of its own.
Tesla Motors has been the pioneer in the electric car making business and has earned a lot of fan following and faithful customers with its EVs that have determined customers satisfaction to no end. The auto making firm has shown how much the EV industry’s potential is and how the firm has gained over the period of time by selling the idea along with high technology smart cars to the public who have only emerged to love the cars without many complains.
However, following the success story of the firm, many other auto companies in the industry have shown interest in making smart cars as well which just shows that Elon Musk’s firm has actually managed to make a whole new trend in the auto industry which with a completely new technology to support it.
At the much talked about Frankfurt Motor show, it was seen that German auto making company Volkswagen AG subsidiary, Audi and Porsche announced to the show audience that it will be releasing EVs which are backed up by completely new ideas and concepts which will result in making the firm’s car different than the ones having launched in the market already.
As per a news report published by Reuters, it was see that the audience was made excited to no extent when all these announcements were made by the firm and the e-tron quatrro concept that the auto maker is reportedly working on for its own electric car turned quite a lot of heads at the motor show.
Audi will be working on its first sports utility vehicle ever and the new technology that it has decided to put into action for the project seems to gaining some great reviews from critics. This car will be able to run a massive 500 km with a single full charged electric battery, which again is something that Tesla cars should be taking into consideration.
Even though the dominance that Tesla business has in the electric car making industry cannot be matched at this time, but if other giants like Audi and Porsche start a proper business of making EVs in the future, chances are that the firm ends up in some trouble after all. Musk’s company started with making luxury cars in the first place with a very high price tag but with the passage of time, it can be seen that the firm is now considering making cars that are almost half the price of the Model S cars but is fueled by an electric battery only.
The auto making giant has decided to offer free charging facility even for the upcoming Model X SUVs.
According to the recent Tesla news, it has been going around the market how the auto making giant is all set to launch its first SUV ever and that too by the end of the current month. There are a number of questions that circulate around the industry before a product or car is launched in the market and one of them regarding the new car that is on its way to get released is: will the auto giant provide free charging facility to the new car owners as well?
Over the period of time the electric car makers have shown the critics that they are capable of attracting the right customers towards their cars with the excessively user friendly offerings made to the users at every point.
As per common knowledge of the market, Tesla cars have been coming in with a facility of free charging at different locations all around the country which has made the cars made by the auto giant all the more attractive. The speed with which the firm has taken control of auto industry has indeed been very astounding, with hundreds of charging stations established on highways and subways to bring ease to the owners of company’s electric vehicles.
The Supercharger stations that are currently on the records have come around to be 2,871 all around the country which is being taken as a success that needs to be taken into consideration by other electric car makers as well, as this has made Tesla stronger than ever. In a recent report that was provided by the company itself, it was informed that the free charging facility is helping the luxury car makers to grow at a very quick speed and also bring more and more people to invest in buying electric cars of the auto giant.
Tesla, on the other hand, has been in talks within the management to make things work for the customers by providing them free charging even for the upcoming SUVs, so that there are no reservations towards the firm. Furthermore, analysts all around the market have agreed that hands down, the biggest reason that the smart car maker sells its car in such a big number is due to the free charging facility which has taken the industry by storm.
On the other side, the firm has also managed to create a feeling of anticipation for the car already and analysts believe that following the news that free charging will be available again, it could be easily predicted that the company enjoys high sales of the car in the coming time.

Tesla Motors seems to be enjoying the hype that is being created for one of the most talked about SUVs of all times. The auto making giant has reported that it will be launching its first sport utility car sooner than later which has created quite a stir in the market. Analysts in the equity industry are seen talking about how the smart car making giants have received more attention that they have ever spent on the advertising of the cars which is something that can be considered as a good point on the firm’s part. Just like Apple, the hybrid car makers have managed to create a classic brand of their own which is why the hype for electric cars has only shown signs of growing without subsiding at any point.Recently, news was released by sources that Tesla cars are indeed one of the most sought after luxury cars and this was confirmed by how the auto giant recorded a massive number of 30,000 bookings for the upcoming SUV already, without even releasing a proper picture of it. This showed how the customers seem to be a little too satisfied with the quality in cars that they have received by the company and also their trust in the design the firm is currently making as they have signed up for the cars without even having a look at it, something that definitely shows how the company has mastered in publicizing its products.According to Tesla Motors Club, the details of the orders that have been placed so far by the customers came up on the surface which showed how the car making giant has received a total of 31,195 orders so far by the people.

The increase in number was observed with every passing day and analysts believe that the numbers could increase some more before the actual launch date of the car. The cars that are being booked by the customers will be delivered to them following the release on 29th of the month.
The auto making giant is gearing up to face competition in the EV industry by Mercedes Benz which is another German company to have adopted the whole EV making idea from Tesla.
Tesla is considered as the king in the electric vehicle industry as it has kept the foundation of the idea of electric cars and has also been making EVs for the past seven years, a time period that shows how pioneer its position in the industry is. The first car is released was the Tesla Roadster but the one that received the most appreciation and popularity and still continues to do so is the Model S with which the firm turned itself around by a huge difference.
This luxury car of the company has stirred the industry in the most influential way ever and has done so in only a small period of time of two years. The company is also preparing to release the first sports utility car it has ever made in the coming weeks. Keeping in mind the exceptionally great business the firm has managed to make in such a small period of time, many other auto makers in the industry want to follow suit and start making electric cars too.
One such company which has emerged with plans of beating Tesla cars is Mercedes Benz, which is an auto making company from Germany and is now working towards making a luxury car of its own, and that too which is supported by an electrically run engine. This news has been confirmed by Automotive News and talks about how the auto giant has planned its car to have a mileage of 311 miles to be as good as the cars being made by rival Tesla, in order to give the firm a tough time.
So far, no more updates on the cars have been given by the German company but it is believed that the car will be launched soon enough. Since Mercedes has always managed to try the newest technology for its car, analysts believe that with the new electric engine technology, the firm is going to do justice and work in the most efficient way as it has experimented quite a lot of times before as well.
This, on the other hand, is not the first time that German companies have considered stepping into the electric car making business as they are well aware of the increasing trend of using electric batteries in cars instead of the usual gas or petrol. Similarly, Audi is almost on its way to release its own EV with a Quattro system installed in it followed by none other than BMW which is also working to make its electric smart car dream come true.
