The automotive industry is a fickle entity with many auto manufacturers gaining financially and many losing.  It’s fiercely competitive, so when an automaker is successful and their revenue continues to climb, it’s a sign that they are extremely good at what they do – make excellent vehicles.

This fiscal year, Suzuki’s Japanese domestic market achieved its highest-ever net sales with 986.8 billion yen on recovering in the second half of the year from the slump in sales in the first half caused by the earthquake.  Operating income increased by 12.4 billion yen to 119.3 billion yen year-on-year and ordinary income increased by 8.1 billion yen to 130.6 billion yen year-on-year.  Basically, Suzuki has been doing everything right and is reaping the rewards.

Currently, Suzuki has a vehicle to choose from in almost every US car segment.  Sedans, SUV crossovers, SUVs and the popular SUV truck -the Equator. Suzuki vehicles have proven to be the best value brand in the US.  If you are looking to get the most for your buck, contact Jeremy Franklin Suzuki.

As the Suzuki Motor Company continues to grow more popular in the US, it’s not ignoring its ventures in other parts of the country.  As part of its continuing ambition to be one of the best-selling vehicles in parts of Asia, Suzuki has decided to replace their best-selling car in India, the Suzuki Alto, with something fresh and better.

The new car will be developed on the existing platform of the Alto and will share the same 800-cubic-centimeter gasoline engine which now graces the Alto.  Although the Suzuki design team will be using the same platform and engine as the current Alto, they plan on making a completely new car.  Something new that will appeal to the folks in India.

Indian automakers are currently seeing a decline in demand for gasoline-powered vehicles, though demand for diesel-run cars is rising faster because the fuel is about 40% cheaper than gasoline.

After making made large strides in the Indian passenger-car segment, Suzuki Motor Company is planning to duplicate this success in the fast-growing Indian two-wheeler market, and aims to be a top-seller.

Atul Gupta, VP for sales and marketing at Suzuki Motorcycle India Private Ltd, told media, “India will be the next major market for expansion for Suzuki’s two-wheeler business. We aim to become a major player in India just like the passenger-car business and launch an array of value-added products coupled with a widespread distribution network.”

If you’re unfamiliar with the term ‘fleet car’, it refers to one vehicle that is part of a whole fleet of the same vehicle.  Companies that purchase an entire fleet of cars, or a bulk amount, are car rental companies or companies that require many of one type of vehicle for their business.  For example, if your town is looking to start its own taxi service, it would by a fleet of Suzuki Kizashis to save money from buying bulk and to get the best value for the money.

Suzuki is looking increase there almost non-existent fleet sales.  Fleet sales will up the amount of sales for a company, but can lower the overall value of the vehicle after a few years since it puts many of that type of car into the market.  Suzuki, a somewhat new brand that has excellent vehicles is looking to expand their customer base and overall consumer awareness.
