This is seen in the growth of third party logistics (3PL) companies which cater to the outsourced logistics needs of various industries. Also evident is the growth of online retail sales through the e-Commerce platform where orders have to be delivered immediately.

Subaru Corporation will be concentrating on cars. That’s the message the Japanese company is sending after they announced that they are ending the production, sale, and repair of general purpose engines and generators after 60 years.

It looks like Toyota is seriously considering to release a production model that blends the best attributes of a crossover with that of a cargo van.

Review: 2017 Mazda6 Sports Wagon

Mazda has been steadily rolling out G-Vectoring Control or GVC throughout its entire line-up. In fact, their entire passenger car range from the cheeky Mazda2 to the sleek Mazda6 all have it now. The mission of GVC is to unite the different components of Skyactiv: Engine, Drive (transmission), and Body into one seamless package. Think of GVC as Mazda’s version of torque vectoring, only better. Instead of being reactionary which is typically the case, GVC is proactive, working the moment the driver moves the wheel. Of course, all this GVC talk questions whether it’s made every Mazda drive the same way now.
