2019 Sales Accelerate for Pickup Trucks With Growth and Innovations Dominating North American Market
loading...
PALM BEACH, Florida, Feb. 5, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Hemp U.S. Auto Sedan sales decline as North Americans show that their love of their pickups runs deep and among other long-time mainstays, Americans continue their affair with their beloved Jeeps. Industry publications indicated that Fiat Chrysler's Jeep Wrangler was the standout for the month and possibly the year, powering the best year for retail sales in 17 years. Jake Fisher, director of auto testing at Consumer Reports says consumers enjoy the versatility and seating position they get from riding in light trucks, which has resulted in declining sedan sales. According to Statista research Pickup truck sales, in the US, continue to grow in 2019 to US$98.328 million which shows the market almost doubled since 2010.
This market segment in the automotive industry is primarily our beloved light-truck, such as the Silverado/Sierra, F-Series, and Ram Trucks. While many models from other classes of large passenger vehicles suffered from strict regulations concerning fuel economy, pickup trucks had fewer regulations and standards, historically.
The lower requirements led to pickup trucks becoming a new favorite vehicle for North American drivers, with innovative features, luxury appointments, and mileage comparable to most large sedans. Active stocks in the industry include: Franchise Holdings International FNHI, -6.03% General Motors Company GM, +0.39% Toyota Motor Corporation TM, +0.74% Ford Motor Company F, -0.23% Fiat Chrysler Automobiles N.V. FCAU, -0.23%
Franchise Holdings International (otcqb:FNHI), BREAKING NEWS: Franchise Holdings International, Worksport Ltd.'s parent company, said it was on track to achieve revenues representing at least a 1100 per cent increase year over year, when compared with 2018. Worksport, an innovative manufacturer of high quality, functional, and aggressively priced tonneau/truck bed covers for the light truck market, provides products for the Sierra, Silverado, Canyon, RAM, and Ford F-Series. Covers like Worksport's are considered the single most commonly purchased item for pickup trucks.
The North American tonneau cover market, estimated to be in the multi-billions, is driving Worksport's growth. One key factor is the overwhelming success of its private label initiative. With its proprietary designs and patents, Worksport supplies custom tonneau covers for large brands in the U.S. and Canada and received in excess of U.S. $1,000,000 in orders within the past 90 days. New private label orders are arriving regularly. Another large U.S. client has placed a sizeable opening order to ship in March, 2019 from Worksport's "discovery" product offering, its more innovative models.
"We are set to make history…we are just getting started"
"We're eagerly focused on profitability and sustainable growth," said Worksport CEO Steven Rossi. "I wish to thank all shareholders, partners and direct investors for their support, which has led us to this moment. There is still a lot of work to be done. After the name change, successful capital placement, new and innovative products, tremendous revenue growth, and the much-anticipated potential cross listing on the Canadian Securities Exchange, we are set to make history. It will be a victory for shareholders. We are just getting started. We have several new partnerships and investments ahead that are expected to bring even more value to our investors."
Management will promptly update its shareholders as it reaches milestones relating to new products, patents, trademarks, completion of its CSE listing as well as when it reaches revenue milestones. Read this full announcement and more news for FNHI at: https://www.financialnewsmedia.com/news-fnhi/
Additional industry related developments from around the markets: General Motors Company GM, +0.39% an American multinational corporation known for brands like Chevrolet, Cadillac, and GMC keeps developing in the Pickup Truck market. As North American drivers are buying more light-trucks and fewer Sedans, General Motors is betting big on its pickup truck line-up to lead revenue growth long-term.

FCA US minivans are now appealing to a new generation. Kids who used to ride in the second row are now in the driver's seat, making memories with families of their own.
