SANTA MONICA, Calif., Jan. 26, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — TrueCar, Inc. projects total new vehicle sales will reach 1,048,975 units in January 2021, down 4.4% from a year ago when adjusted for the same number of selling days. This month’s seasonally adjusted annualized rate (SAAR) for total light vehicle sales is an estimated 15.9 million units. Excluding fleet sales, TrueCar expects U.S. retail deliveries of new cars and light trucks to be 880,552 units, an increase of 0.4% from a year ago when adjusted for the same number of selling days. Used vehicle sales for January 2021 are expected to reach 3.2 million, up 1% from a year ago and up 10% from December 2020. 

«Entering 2021 with retail sales in line with last year is a big win for the automotive industry,» said Nick Woolard, Lead Industry Analyst at TrueCar. «However, while retail sales have rebounded, rental fleets remained depressed and continue to interrupt fleet sales. . As a result, fleet sales are struggling to come back to pre-pandemic levels and are driving total unit sales down.»

«The automotive industry continues to reap the benefits of continued strength in retail demand with lower incentive spend. A handful of brands such as Ford, Genesis, GMC, Ram and Toyota, appear to be in the coveted quadrant of both retail growth as well as incentive decline. This is mostly driven by new product and being in the right segments or a combination of the two,» added Woolard.

Average transaction prices (ATP) are projected to be up 4.2% or $1,509 from a year ago and down 4.5% or $1,759 from December 2020. TrueCar projects that U.S. revenue from new vehicle sales will reach approximately $39 billion for January 2021, down 4.4% (based on a non-adjusted daily selling rate) from a year ago and down 38.2% from last month.

«Average transaction prices have finally come down from the record-setting highs we saw last month, but are still higher than this time last year.  Of the bigger manufacturers, only Kia has an average transaction price below $30,000. We expect this trend to continue as consumers desire pricier trucks and SUVs,» said Alain Nana-Sinkam, Vice President of Industry Insights at TrueCar. «As new vehicle prices rise, we may see more price-conscious shoppers gravitate back towards smaller segments or the used car market due to growing concerns around affordability.»

Additional Insights (forecast by TrueCar):

  • Total retail sales for January 2021 are expected to be up 0.4% from a year ago and down 28.6% from December 2020 when adjusted for the same number of selling days.
  • Fleet sales for January 2021 are expected to be down 23.7% from a year ago and up 8% from December 2020 when adjusted for the same number of selling days.
  • Average transaction price is projected to be up 4.2% or $1,509 from a year ago and down 4.5% or $1,759 from December 2020.
  • Total SAAR is expected to decrease 5.5% from a year ago from 16.8 million units to 15.9 million units.
  • Used vehicle sales for January 2021 are expected to reach 3.2 million, up 1% from a year ago and up 10% from December 2020.
  • The average interest rate on new vehicles is 5.6% and the average interest rate on used vehicles is 8.1%.

LOS ALTOS, Calif., Jan. 26, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — The Toyota Research Institute (TRI) announced today that it has selected 13 additional academic institutions to participate in the next five-year phase of its collaborative research program. These universities join MIT, Stanford and the University of Michigan which have worked with TRI over the last five years to expand the body of research into artificial intelligence (AI) with the goal of amplifying the human experience.

The next five-year phase includes investing more than $75 million in the academic institutions, making it one of the largest collaborative research programs by an automotive company in the world.

«Our first five-year program pushed the boundaries of exploratory research across multiple fields, generating 69 patent applications and nearly 650 papers,» said Eric Krotkov, TRI Chief Science Officer who leads the university research program. «Our next five years are about pushing even further and doing so with a broader, more diverse set of stakeholders.  To get to the best ideas, collaboration is critical.  Our aim is to build a pipeline of new ideas from different perspectives and underrepresented voices that share our vision of using AI for human amplification and societal good.»   

The following universities completed a comprehensive proposal submission and review process and will participate in the next phase of TRI’s collaborative research program: 

  1. Carnegie Mellon University
  2. Columbia University
  3. Florida A&M UniversityFlorida State University College of Engineering
  4. Georgia Institute of Technology (Georgia Tech)
  5. Indiana University
  6. Massachusetts Institute Technology (MIT)
  7. Princeton University
  8. Smith College
  9. Stanford University
  10. Toyota Technological Institute at Chicago (TTIC)
  11. University of California, Berkeley
  12. University of Illinois
  13. University of Michigan
  14. University of Minnesota
  15. University of Pennsylvania
  16. UCLA

Through this program, TRI will lead 35 joint research projects focused on achieving breakthroughs around difficult technological challenges in TRI’s research areas: Automated Driving, Robotics and Machine Assisted Cognition (MAC). 

The primary objectives of the joint research projects are to:

  • Contribute significant new knowledge and understanding to the artificial intelligence field.
  • Demonstrate the potential to radically advance state of the art concepts into possible use cases.
  • Promote the transfer of knowledge through the meaningful exchange of scientific and technical information between TRI researchers and academic partners.
  • Create and share infrastructure, including data and software, to further research, promote reproducibility and support education.

The first phase of the program, conducted over the last five years, sponsored 98 projects involving about 100 faculty members and over 200 students. These projects yielded important technology advances for ongoing TRI projects, including transfer learning in computer vision, self-supervised learning on contact-rich tasks, and techniques for mimicking human behavior in various driving interactions. The projects generated several awards for published papers at leading conferences including the CVPR 2018 Best Paper, an ICRA 2019 Finalist Best Paper, the ICRA 2019 Best Paper, and the 2020 IEEE Robotics and Automation Letters Best Paper Award. Additionally, the close collaborations resulted in the recruitment of several new TRI team members.

This next five-year phase focuses investments in projects TRI researchers have a keen academic interest in exploring to create more value and impact for TRI. Each project features a TRI researcher as a co-investigator who will work with the university partner. This approach directly engages TRI researchers with the academic AI partners and ensures that the research contributes to the TRI mission.

TRI is also offering Young Faculty Researcher (YFR) projects to form partnerships with more junior (typically pre-tenure) faculty members. Whereas joint projects have TRI pursuing a specific direction and reaching technical milestones along the way, the YFR projects are specifically designed to support promising tenure stream faculty members, enabling them to explore broadly, inquire deeply, and address higher-risk, higher-payoff ideas. In YFR projects, TRI invests in the researcher and provides them with the freedom and flexibility to pivot from one direction to another.

MISSION, Kan., Jan. 26, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — Dealers share a common goal to engage customers and maximize profits but doing so efficiently while minimizing marketing spend can prove challenging. With the new Automotive Marketing Platform powered by VinSolutions, dealers can elevate their marketing without increasing their workload. Automotive Marketing Platform is a marketing tool that integrates with the CRM providing an end-to-end view across marketing and sales. This enables dealers to leverage data insights and automate workflows to deliver personalized experiences across the ownership lifecycle. Ultimately, Automotive Marketing Platform is the complete package for driving consumer engagement and helping to maximize ROI.

«Until now, dealerships had to manage campaigns across different departments, vendors and marketing channels, which inevitably created inconsistencies, depleted resources and compressed ROI,» said Tracy Fred, vice president of operations for Cox Automotive brands VinSolutions, Xtime and Dealertrack DMS. «With centralization and automation, Automotive Marketing Platform addresses the reality that two-thirds of a salesperson’s time is typically spent on non-revenue-generating activities like managing different tools across departments and duplicate data entry.1«

Automotive Marketing Platform helps protect dealership revenue with improved customer engagement, greater efficiency in marketing spend, increased marketing reach across departments, time-saving automation and centralization, and superior campaign performance. Key features include:

  • CRM Integration: Marketing activity is stored directly in the customer record in VinSolutions’ Connect dealership CRM instead of another tool, making it easier to guide personalized conversations, determine next steps and avoid duplicated efforts that frustrate customers and team members alike.
  • Automated Marketing Workflows: Marketing outreach is informed by data science and real customer behaviors, creating a series of «if, then» scenarios throughout the process that allows communication to be both automated and personalized.
  • Data Insights: Cox Automotive proprietary data identifies the types of customers who are most likely to be ready to buy based on their online behavior, maximizing sales opportunities, and proactively converting leads before they are even submitted.
  • Automated Offers Engine: With access to customer data from Kelley Blue Book and Autotrader, Automotive Marketing Platform sends customers personalized offers, matching them with current inventory and including personalized payment recommendations based on their equity position and applicable incentives data.
  • Marketing Account Manager: All campaigns built in Automotive Marketing Platform are backed by the support of a dedicated Marketing Account Manager, an automotive marketing specialist who guides and executes the dealership’s strategic marketing direction.
  • Dashboard/Reporting: A robust reporting dashboard enables dealerships to quickly understand the performance of campaigns and channels so impactful adjustments can be made effectively, helping to maximize ROI on marketing spend.
  • Marketing Channels: Recommendations and automated CRM tasks ensure customers are reached on the right channels, including email, phone calls, and Facebook/Instagram ads.

«One of the greatest strengths of Automotive Marketing Platform is being able to target customers with the right message, at the right time—at the right moment when the customer is most likely to act and create opportunities for our stores,» added Justin Harmon, Marketing Director, Eide Automotive Group.

The Automated Marketing Platform joins VinSolutions’ portfolio of products that leverage data science and artificial intelligence, including Connect Automotive Intelligence. In addition to providing salespeople with insights to better understand their customers, dealers will now be able to use Connect AI Buying Signals as a lead source with the new automated lead creation functionality. Connect AI and Automotive Marketing Platform can be purchased separately as well as integrate seamlessly to create even more powerful and accurate customer engagement.

Drivers, restraints, and opportunities

Increase in travel and tourism to unique destinations, inclination toward exploration of wildlife, coral reefs, and pristine undisturbed natural areas, and surge in focus on sustainability drive the global ecotourism market. However, low availability of accommodation and limited availability of quality and hygienic restaurants at destinations hinder the market growth. On the other hand, public-private partnerships in the form of subsidizing air routes to remote tourist destinations, improvement of transport capabilities, and providing ease of access create new opportunities in the coming years.

Request Sample Report at: https://www.alliedmarketresearch.com/request-sample/6729

Covid-19 Scenario

  • Travel restrictions across the world hindered the exploration of new destinations, remote places, and sightseeing activities. The means ofpublic transportation such as buses, trains, and air were banned during the lockdown.
  • Many destinations and tourist spots were closed down by governments to avoid gathering of people and prevent the spread of the coronavirus.
  • Countries across the world have been building a more resilient tourism system during the post-Covid-19 pandemic period. Governments have been implementing structural transformation and offering financial stimulus for supporting the tourism sector.

The group segment to continue its leadership status throughout the forecast period

Based on traveler type, the group segment contributed to the highest market share, accounting for nearly four-fifths of the global ecotourism market in 2019, and will continue its leadershipstatus throughout the forecast period. This is due tosecurity concerns at new and unexplored destinations, low expenses while traveling in a group and shared interest and experiencesthat enable people tobonding together very quickly.However, the solo segment is expected to manifest the fastest CAGR of 15.9% from 2021 to 2027, owing tobenefits of being in charge of the whole travel schedule, possibility of gathering new experiences, prospects to meet new people, and gaining a sense of empowerment.

The generation Y segment to maintain its lead position during the forecast period

Based on age group, the generation Y segment accounted for the largest share in 2019, holding nearly three-fifths of the global ecotourism market, and is projected to maintain its lead position during the forecast period. This is due to preference toward spending on unique experiences rather than materialistic things and high environmental consciousness. However, the generation Z segment is expected to witness the highest CAGR of 15.6% from 2021 to 2027. This is attributed toimprovement of online channelsand digital marketing strategies to attract customers and unique, interactive, and social experiences sought by travelers.

North America to grow at the fastest CAGR

Based on region, North America is projected to witness the highest CAGR of 16.2% during the forecast period, owing tolarge number of environment-conscious travelers and rapid adoption of digital media to search and travel to new destinations. However, Asia-Pacific held the largest share in terms of revenue in 2019, accounting for nearly two-fifths of the global ecotourism market, and will maintain its dominance in terms of revenue by 2027. This is attributed topresence of large number of millennial travelers supported by increased disposable income and expansion of infrastructure.

Drivers, restraints, and opportunities

Increase in travel and tourism to unique destinations, inclination toward exploration of wildlife, coral reefs, and pristine undisturbed natural areas, and surge in focus on sustainability drive the global ecotourism market. However, low availability of accommodation and limited availability of quality and hygienic restaurants at destinations hinder the market growth. On the other hand, public-private partnerships in the form of subsidizing air routes to remote tourist destinations, improvement of transport capabilities, and providing ease of access create new opportunities in the coming years.

Covid-19 Scenario

  • Travel restrictions across the world hindered the exploration of new destinations, remote places, and sightseeing activities. The means ofpublic transportation such as buses, trains, and air were banned during the lockdown.
  • Many destinations and tourist spots were closed down by governments to avoid gathering of people and prevent the spread of the coronavirus.
  • Countries across the world have been building a more resilient tourism system during the post-Covid-19 pandemic period. Governments have been implementing structural transformation and offering financial stimulus for supporting the tourism sector.

The group segment to continue its leadership status throughout the forecast period

Based on traveler type, the group segment contributed to the highest market share, accounting for nearly four-fifths of the global ecotourism market in 2019, and will continue its leadershipstatus throughout the forecast period.

Holiday Shores Motel Restoration Adds Modern Flair to Mid-Century Getaway

MYRTLE BEACH, S.C., Jan. 26, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — A historical slice of Myrtle Beach’s hospitality heyday is shining again following the New Year’s Eve reopening of the Holiday Shores drive-in motel at 7501 Ocean Blvd.

MYRTLE BEACH, S.C., Jan. 26, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — A historical slice of Myrtle Beach’s hospitality heyday is shining again following the New Year’s Eve reopening of the Holiday Shores drive-in motel at 7501 Ocean Blvd.

The utilization of State and Federal historic preservation incentives will change our city for generations to come

Built in 1965, Holiday Shores is one of 120 motels constructed along the Myrtle Beach Grand Strand in the 1960s. Designed in the «Populuxe» style, a blend between populism and luxury that evolved after World War II, the building reflects a period of America’s burgeoning middle class and its desire to travel and explore. These small, family-run properties typically included a nod to the exotic, incorporating Polynesian themes, bright signage, and pops of color to draw motorists’ attention.

With the property in need of repair, GBX Group LLC, a historic preservation real estate firm headquartered in Cleveland, Ohio, completed the initial investment that led to the rehabilitation with developers Robert Lewis, Chris Rogers, Tom Prioreschi, and Will Brennan. Tim Mclendon of Columbia, S.C., oversaw the design. This historic rehabilitation of Holiday Shores conformed with the National Park Service’s historic preservation standards.

The motel originally featured a modest 22 guestrooms and a detached owner’s suite (Graham House). Interior renovations include transforming the Graham House into three additional guestrooms, new fixtures and finishes throughout the property and a new lobby. Exterior upgrades restore the motel to its mid-century glamour.

«I fell in love with this hotel at first sight and knew I wanted to stay true to the period as much as possible, yet give it a facelift at the same time,» said Mclendon. «I chose exterior colors that would make it vibrant and pop. Most of the furnishings are mid-century-inspired and the feel of one who has traveled globally on holiday…thus, Holiday Shores was reborn and revitalized!»

Holiday Shores, now rebranded as part of the Choice Ascend Collection, joins its sister property, Waikiki Village, an earlier restoration project by primarily the same ownership/development/design team, as two of only a handful of remaining drive-in motels left in the area. 

Robert Lewis, who grew up in nearby Conway, SC commented, «We’re proud to support the restoration of both motel properties. Not only do they offer meaningful cultural value to the area, but both projects contributed to community rebuilding, job creation and economic growth, all of which are catalysts for add-on development and long-term vitality.»   

Brenda Bethune, Mayor of Myrtle Beach, added, «The Holiday Shores project is yet another example of the revitalization of Myrtle Beach. The utilization of State and Federal historic preservation incentives to bring new life to our mid-century buildings will change the landscape of our city for generations to come.»

Holiday Shores and Waikiki Village motels are managed by Coakley & Williams (CW) Hotel Management Company of Linthicum Heights, Maryland, the preeminent provider of comprehensive hotel management services with a property portfolio that represents great hotel brands such as Hilton, IHG, Best Western, Choice and Wyndham, as well as, independent boutique hotels, in many of the nation’s highest-performing hotel markets.

«We are thrilled to have been selected as the management company for these incredible projects and partners with this development group. Having managed successful hotels in the Myrtle Beach market in the past, we are committed to maximizing the revenue opportunities at both properties and have a proven track record,» said Mark Williams, CEO of Coakley & Williams. Williams continued, «In an effort to immediately increase exposure and join a leading reservation property management system, we franchised the property with Choice Hotels, one of the largest hotel chains in the world, making it part of their exclusive Ascend Collection.»

Choice Hotels Commitment to Clean, Health & Safety First

Holiday Shores Myrtle Beach, Ascend Hotel Collection by Choice Hotels, is committed to the health and safety of all guests and team members. The hotel is strictly adhering to specific guidelines to meet the ongoing challenges presented by COVID-19. Among them, the hotel is following the American Hotel & Lodging Association’s (AHLA) «Safe Stay» guidelines, which are grounded in guidance from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control & Prevention (CDC).

Further, the hotel’s 360-degree approach across all departments will adhere to requirements set by Choice Hotels’ global Commitment to Clean initiative which builds on Choice Hotels’ long-standing cleanliness protocols and enhances the existing program with guidance developed in response to the pandemic, including recommendations related to deep cleaning, disinfecting, hygiene, and social distancing.
