Following Tesla's steps, General Motors has decided to give a try at the battery producing business too.
The most recent Tesla news is all about the fact that the automaking giant is already being threatened by rivals in the battery making industry that it has just entered and this is keeping the hybrid car producers on their toes. It has just been two months since the electric car makers announced their entry into the battery making business which it has planned to initiate from a battery producing plant in Nevada. The firm has also reported that it will be making two kinds of batteries, known as Powerwall and Powerpack, which will be immovable energy storage for home based purposes as well as for its electric smart cars.However, rival General Motors has decided to step up to the firm to by announcing that it is also planning to invest into the battery storage industry, following Elon Musk’s company’s footsteps. This could be taken as a threat by the automaking giant, but analysts believe that GM is planning on a very different space to follow in terms of production of batteries. As per the press releases, it has emerged that the GM will not be investing much in the business unlike Tesla, which has reportedly put in a massive $5 billion into a battery-making plant. Instead, GM will be using old thrown away battery packs and bringing them to use by recycling them. These batteries will be the ones that are disposed of from the electric cars made by the Michigan-based firm only.In a press release that took place on Tuesday, June 16, it was seen that the firm has plans of using a battery pack consisting of five used batteries which will then be used as an extension for powering cars and homes, using both solar energy as well as energy produced by the wind.According to an article published by Fortune, it will be seen that the recycling procedure that is being followed is going to be compatible with primary usage as well. But consistent recycling needs to be done in the case, as they will be charged from the solar energy received daily.On the other hand, it is being seen that the batteries General Motors is planning to launch will be saving quite a lot of energy for rainy days, which has come around to a massive 80 percent. However, a supply problem has been identified by the automakers as the recycling will only be done from the already used batteries of electric vehicles and the usage of those cars has not been as much as the usual cars.
Ford Motor Co. and Toyota Motor Corp. have joined hands to come up with an in-vehicle software that will help them in competing with Apple Inc. and Google Inc.
Many automakers are not ready to give up the control to Silicon Valley companies that are gearing up to control the dashboards. So now Ford Motor Co. and Toyota Motor Corp. have joined hands to come up with an in-vehicle software that will help them in competing with Apple Inc. and Google Inc.According to recent moves by Toyota, the company has announced that they have started to explore the usage of SmartDeviceLink. This is the open source version of the AppLink software by Ford that will be seen by Lexus and other Toyota cars.SmartDeviceLink, or generally known as SDL, acts like an interface allowing smartphone integration into the dashboard of the vehicle similar to Android Auto by Google and CarPlay by Apple. Around two years back, Ford had announced that it will open source this platform with a vision that other automakers will join them and assist them in creating an alternative to what the tech behemoths are offering. The aim of this collaboration is to curb the presence of Sillicon Valley firms in the vehicle software domain.According to a senior analyst at IHS, Mr. Mark Boyadjis stated, “Toyota adopting it is very significant because it validates the approach that Ford took, and it could help Ford and Toyota maintain control over the app ecosystem and the experience.” He further added, that the collaboration of big companies like Ford and Toyota Motors to work on an SDL like open source platform will be an attractive offer to app developers who will now be interest to work on the platform. Moreover, this will also help them in keeping Google and Apple out of the scenario.This is not it, but other automakers are also coming with similar initiatives to attract customers. According to the chief executive officer of General Motors, Ms. Mary Barra understands the importance of smartphones amongst the masses. Collaboration between Google and Apple to come up with Android Auto and CarPlay that will be compatible with a wide array of vehicles is a perfect example of how firms like Chervolet have a firm hold in democratizing the technology that is relatively important for consumers.The initiative that Ford Motors and Toyota has taken is extremely ambitious and will actually give a tough time to Apple and Google. However, the company will also be required to come up with something top notch for the dashboards so that consumer do not look for alternatives and stick to these automakers.
The automakers have successfully topped the list of companies making the most sales in the first fiscal quarter of 2015.
In the most recent Toyota news, it has been seen as a pleasant surprise that the first has managed to get the first position to make the largest sales in the first quarter of the financial year 2015. The total cars that the firm has sold have come around 2.52 million, as per a report submitted by AFP Tokyo. This number has come about to be a massive one considering the kind of sales that the firm has made and it has turned out to be quite a success for the Japanese auto giants. Keeping in the mind the fact that the company on an overall basis witnessed a dip in the demand on the local level, this number of sales carried out has been no doubt commendable.In the report presented by AFP, it has been observed that Toyota cars managed to not only beat German Volkswagen in the process of topping the list, but it also left behind GM Company which is an American firm. The Japanese automakers have made successful sales by being ahead not by a small margin but by a huge difference as Volkswagen has come next to the firm with its sales coming around at 2.49 million. As for General Motors, the firm only managed to sell around 2.4 million cars, securing the third position in making the most sales in the first fiscal quarter of the year.If the past performance of TM sales is taken into consideration, it will be seen that the demand on a general level has seen a decline which is why the sales fell around 2.5% in the quarter as compared to the sales made in the previous one. For the full financial year of 2015, the expected sales are expected to be made around 10.23 million. The sales might be decreasing for the year and the reason given by analysts is that it shows that the Japanese giant is taking all the queries into consideration which arose after the customers faced some safety issues in the cars that they bought from the company.The first time Toyota Company managed to beat all the other companies on the globe, like General Motors and other auto giants, was in 2008 when the first managed to top the list. Due to the natural calamities that hit Japan after that, the firm stumbled and took some time to get back in a position again. However this time around, the firm has shown that it has nothing to fear and a lot to do in the upcoming year, keeping in mind the amazing sales made in the start of 2015.
