Toyota to launch new hybrids in Europe;

Toyota will be launching 10 new hybrid models in Europe to help drive the company's European hybrid sales. Toyota is looking to improve its sales to 1 million vehicles by the year 2013 or 2014. This would be an increase of 25 percent from 2010. Other automakers like Honda are also trying to improve their hybrid sales, and Honda's latest hybrid models like the Honda Accord can be purchased from Honda Dealers MO. Toyota will be boosting sales in the European region by 10 percent which would be an increase from the over 800,000 that were sold in 2010. Nissan is also looking to expand the company's European sales and the latest Nissan hybrids and regular models can be purchased from a Nissan Dealership St. Charles.

Waco Honda Dealership businesses also sell Honda hybrids like the Accord hybrid which are some of the most popular hybrid models on the market. Toyota expects to sell over 1 million vehicles in Europe by 2014 or as early as 2013. Approximately 20 percent of those sales are expected to be hybrid vehicles. The best year for Toyota in the European region was 2007 when the company sold 1.2 million vehicles, and since that year sales have decreased. The recall crises caused Toyota to lose about 4.6 percent market share, which is substantially less than what it could have been.




In the fourth quarter of 2010, the European division of Toyota finally posted a profit of 20 million Euros for the first time in three years. The Euro has been stuck at a historical low against the yen which has hurt profits for Toyota due to the decreased value of Euros. Toyota is looking to have profitable growth over the next few years and avoid having quarters with losses. Both Lexus and Toyota brands will be used to drive growth in Europe over the next few years.
