According to a story in MSNBC, Toyota is having trouble keeping up with the demand for hybrids. Meanwhile Detroit is still making big, gas-guzzling SUVs that are sitting on car dealer’s lots gathering bird droppings. You have to wonder why the executives at GM and Ford are not run out of Detroit on a rail?
There will likely be a crunch for Toyota Hybrids for the remainder of the model year since battery production is the bottleneck. In that respect, even though Toyota increased production of models like the Prius, they failed to anticipate just how great the demand would be. Detroit on the other hand just failed.
Meanwhile, Honda introduces its new all electric Hydrogen fuel cell car. It’s scheduled for delivery in California to some high profile drivers as a promotional stunt, but later in the year more will become available on a lease basis only right now. The company also will introduce a gas/electric model of the same car next year as well.
For more information go to MSNBCs website. I will not include a link because of the Associated Press content restrictions and failure to respect "fair use" conventions.
