Fuso And Their Relentless Pursuit To Quality

Automation is all the rave with automotive factories these days. It allows them to produce more with consistency and still being cost-effective in the long term. It also puts the notion that robots are better than humans as they don’t get fatigued. Fuso doesn’t totally buy into that idea though.

The opening salvo to Toyota’s Multi-Pathway Approach to Carbon Neutrality is almost upon us: the all-new 2026 Hilux. Toyota’s next-generation pickup truck will launch globally this Monday, November 10, and yes, it will sport a battery electric powertrain for the very first time.

The thesaurus does not have enough synonyms for the word elated to describe what we felt in the 2024 Manila International Auto Show.

Could These Be Mazda's New Infotainment Concept?

Is Mazda teasing something right under our noses at the Japan Mobility Show? That may be the case if we were to look carefully at detail photos of its stunning new Vision X-Coupe and Vision X-Compact concepts.

A few years after the launch of the second generation e-Canter, Fuso has unveiled their next step in alternative propulsion. Instead of plain electrification, they looked into hydrogen energy for their next powertrains. This resulted in the all-new H2IC and H2FC, two long-haulers that are meant to go farther.

Toyota Doesn't Start By Saying They Want To Be Number One, It's Simply The End Result

Toyota doesn’t just build cars; it builds an automotive industry. Paraphrased, these are the words of Kiichiro Toyoda, founder of what would become the world’s largest automaker. It’s an adage echoed in the John Donne poem and popular saying, “No man is an island” where he says that humanity seeks connection, and it’s through this connection that society is uplifted.

With Century now serving as the Toyota Group’s new pinnacle brand, Lexus is set to undergo a period of discovery with a renewed spirit of pioneering innovation. Now serving as Toyota’s premium brand, Lexus is set to come up with vehicles which are going to be more original and expressive.

At the inaugural Japan Mobility Show in 2023, Toyota got flak for its “Multi-Pathway Approach.” At the time, the carmaker’s non-committal to an all-electric future, when so many of its compatriots and competitors have, was seen as a sign of weakness; a sign that Toyota perhaps has lost its competitive edge. Two years later, Toyota is having the last laugh.

Toyota’s Hao Quoc Tien has a stern warning for those who’re swayed by its cheap competitors: you get your money’s worth. The president of Toyota Motor Asia, who’s very savvy at avoiding direct answers to pointed questions, had a refreshingly direct answer to a very pointed question as to why Toyotas are generally more expensive than its Chinese rivals.

Toyota is re-orienting its five core brands—Century, Lexus, Toyota, Gazoo Racing, and Daihatsu. Century will sit atop the Toyota Group’s portfolio, serving as its pinnacle, while Lexus itself will take on a fresh, new direction.

Honda is presenting the third member of its Honda 0 dedicated EV family: the 2027 Honda 0 α (alpha). The Honda 0 α will serve as the gateway model to the Honda 0 series with sales confirmed to go global in markets such as Japan and even India starting in 2027.

Honda is taking its N Series kei car global with the Super-One. Shown at the Japan Mobility Show, the Super-One will go on sale not just in Japan by 2026, but other markets such as Asia and the U.K. (where it’ll be known as the Super-N).

The Porsche 911 Turbo S Is The Supreme All-Rounder

If there’s one car that’s been resistant to change, stubborn even, it’s the Porsche 911. Throughout its more than 60-year history, its basic formula hasn’t changed. Throughout the generations, it’s a careful evolution of the same basic formula—the engine is mounted at the back and power being sent to the ground (typically) through the rear wheels. However, every so often, the formula is tweaked a bit more be through the introduction of all-wheel drive, turbocharging, and the water-cooled engine. With the latest 992.2 generation, electrification can now be added into the formula. Read on to read our impressions, or watch our drive.

The Kia Pride Is An Underrated Piece Of Automotive History With An Interesting Backstory

On its own, Kia is the world’s fifth-largest automaker, at least at the time of writing. But if you told that to someone back in the ‘90s that the South Korean company would be one of the key players in the industry, it’s safe to say that you’ll be laughed at – to say the least.

With Porsche launching the first-ever Cayenne Electric in a couple of weeks, the carmaker revealed more details surrounding its innovative high-voltage powertrain system.
