Toyota Terus Pimpin Pasar Otomotif Nasional

Untuk September 2008, Toyota terus memimpin pasar otomotif nasional dengan total penjualan sebesar 17.067 unit. Dibandingkan periode yang sama pada tahun sebelumnya, penjualan meningkat sebesar 124,5%. Sedang angka kumulatif penjualan sepanjang tahun 2008 (Januari-September 2008) sebesar 155.131 unit, meningkat 142% dibandingkan periode yang sama pada tahun sebelumnya (Januari-September 2007).

Untuk kelas sedan, pada September Toyota berhasil mencatat total penjualan sebesar 2.024 unit, meningkat 164,4% dibandingkan pada periode yang sama tahun sebelumnya (2007). Di segmen mini sedan Vios berhasil membukukan angka penjualan sebesar 1.632 unit, meningkat 32,8% dibandingkan bulan sebelumnya. Meningkatnya penjualan Vios dikarenakan semakin diminatinya Vios yang didukung dengan performa yang bagus dan konsumsi bahan bakar yang irit. Toyota All New Camry juga berhasil meningkatkan angka penjualannya sebesar 10,7% dengan penjualan sebesar 270 unit.

Sedang Toyota Yaris, sebagai kendaraan anak muda, berhasil membukukan angka penjualan 1.075 unit atau meningkat sebesar 65,1% dibandingkan bulan sebelumnya. Avanza juga berhasil mencatat angka penjualan sebesar 7.830 unit, meningkat dari bulan sebelumnya yang mencatatkan penjualan sebesar 7.742 unit.

Untuk kelas komersial, di bulan September ini Toyota berhasil mencatatkan total penjualan sebesar 1.623 unit dengan produk-produk andalannya seperti Hilux dan truk Dyna yang berhasil mencatatkan kenaikan sebesar 153,1% dibandingkan periode bulan September pada tahun 2007.

“Pencapaian bulan September ini sangat menggembirakan, hasil ini terus mengukuhkan Toyota sebagai pemimpin pasar otomotif nasional. Meski tantangan kedepan semakin banyak, namun kami tetap yakin dan optimis untuk menghadapi pasar otomotif nasional kedepan serta terus memberikan kehidupan yang lebih baik dan kebahagiaan bagi semua”. papar Johnny Darmawan, Presiden Direktur PT Toyota-Astra Motor. /PR

ASIMO at Expo 2005 in Japan
ASIMO at Expo 2005 in Japan

ASIMO is the part of Honda's Research & Development robotics program. It is the eleventh in a line of successive builds starting in 1986 with Honda E0 moving through the ensuing Honda E series and the Honda P series. Weighing 54 kilograms and standing 130 centimeters tall, ASIMO resembles a small astronaut wearing a backpack, and can walk on two feet in a manner resembling human locomotion, at up to 6 km/h (3.7 mph). It is the world's only humanoid robot able to ascend and descend stairs independently.[17] However, human motions such as climbing stairs are difficult to mimic with a machine, which ASIMO has demonstrated by taking two plunges off of a staircase.

With high gas prices and a weak US economy in June 2008, Honda has reported a 1% sales increase while its rivals including the Detroit Big Three and Toyota have reported double-digit losses. Analysts have attributed this to two main factors. First, Honda's product lineup consists of mostly small to mid-size, highly fuel-efficient vehicles. Secondly, over the last ten years, Honda has designed its factories to be flexible, in that they can easily retooled to produce any Honda model that may be in-demand at the moment. Honda's sales were up almost 20 percent from the same month last year. The Civic and the Accord were in the top five list of sales
