Auto And Light Truck Sales Research Paper

To rectify the situation, it is recommended that the entire industry aggressively begin selling as many hybrid vehicles as possible. This is important because the article the Potential of Hybrid and Diesel Powertrains, indicates that the company / companies that are able to have their entire line of cars and trucks converted to hybrid technology, will see a dramatic improvement in market share. As they estimate that a 40% shift could take place in the market, by the company / companies that are able to achieve this objective. Then, when you combine this with the fact that they were able to reduce labor costs dramatically over the last two years, means that if Ford and GM can be the first to deliver these vehicles, they will have recaptured a major portion of their market share. This is how industry executives can learn from the mistakes of the past, to beat their foreign competitors by using their own strategies against them. Appendices
