Toyota committed to expanding its hybrid line and plans to introduce 18 new models of hybrid by the end of 2015. Toyota is also planning to introduce hybrid trucks in the future. The demand for hybrid cars is increasing and new models will be more attractive to the customers. This will increase its sales in the future because the Toyota hybrid is the ideal family car.

The U.S. housing market is improving quickly, increasing demand of pickups and trucks because they are used for construction activities. Toyota Motor Corporation (ADR) (NYSE:TM) has an advantage that it manufactures heavy trucks while General Motors Company (NYSE:GM) have only light trucks. Further improvement in the U.S. housing market will surely increase the demand for pickups and trucks which in turn will increase Toyota’s sales in the future.
