Toyota To Increase Production And Incentives

With April's cars sales volume down over 41% and Ford pushing it aside in the numbers race, the Toyota division is motivated to move units in May. At the request of dealers, the automaker is boosting production of its best-selling Toyota Camry and popular RAV4 SUV. In addition, a new ad campaign, called "Perfect Timing," started on Friday. It is an attempt to boost sales on vehicles using reduced interest rates, more consumer cash and a focus on low payment leases. The campaign caters to regional needs with aggressive leases in the East, and zero-percent interest rates in the West and Midwest. Bob Carter, Toyota division general manager, told Automotive News that "there will be an enhanced package of incentives compared with what Toyota currently offers." Carter didn't elaborate, so it seems you'll just have to visit a showroom to get the details. Regardless, it appears that Toyota is willing to make a deal like never before. The bad economy is also hitting hard in the car parts, tires, and accessories also.

Pennsylvania To Fund Biofuel Projects

One of the major obstacles to the development of biodiesel and other biofuel projects is proper funding. Especially in rough economic times like we are currently experiencing. That's why the news that the state of Pennsylvania is going to fund almost fifty biofuel projects is such welcome news to the alternative fuel community. Aside from being a positive step in the direction of freeing the country from the bounds of foreign oil, projects like these spur private investment and create jobs. Investment in viable alternative fuels is a good thing whether it is done by government or private entities.
