Toyota Celebrates Production Milestone
2016 was another record setting year for Toyota in North America. Vehicle production climbed to 2.1 million units; a 4.4 percent increase over 2015. Why the increase? Other than Toyota being an amazingly reliable brand, low gas prices, high demand for trucks and SUVs, and stability in the economy have contributed to the growth.
“Our success is driven by the talent and dedication of the men and women who manufacture our products here in the U.S.,” said Jim Lentz, CEO of Toyota Motor North America (TMNA). “Every part and every vehicle that rolls off the line reflects our commitment to safety, quality, value, and, above all, our passion for exceeding customer expectations.”
Toyota North America has produced more than 30 million cars, trucks, and SUVs since 1986. The North American Toyota plants are located in Cambridge (Ontario), Georgetown (Kentucky), Princeton (Indiana), Buffalo (West Virginia), and Huntsville (Alabama) and produce popular models like the Avalon, Camry, Corolla, Highlander, RAV4, Sienna, Tacoma, Tundra, Yaris, and Yaris iA.

Toyota A Founding Member of New ‘Hydrogen Council’
Toyota, along with 12 other global industry leaders, has committed to a cleaner future through the use of hydrogen. To help meet climate goals, Toyota, Air Liquide, BMW Group, Honda, Royal Dutch Shell, and other members of the new ‘Hydrogen Council’ will accelerate their significant investments in the development and commercialization of the hydrogen and fuel cell sectors.
“The Hydrogen Council will exhibit responsible leadership in showcasing hydrogen technology and its benefits to the world. It will seek collaboration, cooperation and understanding from governments, industry and most importantly, the public. At Toyota, we have always tried to play a leading role in environmental and technological advances in the automotive industry, including through the introduction of fuel cell vehicles.” said Takeshi Uchiyamada, Chairman, Toyota.
Hydrogen is a versatile energy source which doesn’t release any CO2 at the point of use. It’s a clean fuel and can play an important role in the transition to a clean, low-carbon, energy system. Technology has progressed rapidly over the last few years and the council believes that now is the time to push forward with stakeholders, businesses, and consumers.
Benoît Potier, CEO of Air Liquide said: ”The 2015 Paris Agreement to combat climate change is a significant step in the right direction but requires business action to be taken to make such a pledge a reality. The Hydrogen Council brings together some of the world’s leading industrial, automotive and energy companies with a clear ambition.”

A Clean Wheel Is A Happy Wheel
Two simple steps. That’s all there is between you and a squeaky clean steering wheel. Why clean the steering wheel you ask? Just think about all the nasty dirt, germs, body oil, and anything else your hands come in contact with during the day. All of that is transferred to the steering wheel whenever you drive. Disgusting, right?
Luckily, like we said, it’s easy to clean. First, use a damp cotton cloth with a small amount of leather cleaner to loosen and wipe away any dirt and grime on the surface. Rinse the cloth and use it to wipe down the wheel a second time before drying with a soft towel. Second, if your steering wheel is wrapped in leather use your hands to apply a small amount of leather conditioner to surface. Let it sit for about 30 minutes then use a clean towel to wipe away the excess. Maintain a clean wheel between deep cleans with prepackaged quick wipes.
