Toyota Motor has unveiled a ¥1 trillion share buyback and lifted its profit outlook as resilient hybrid demand and a weak yen helped make up for rising costs, tariffs and supply disruptions. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/business/2026/08/04/companies/toyota-profit-outlook-up/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #business #companies #toyota #cars #carmakers #yen #hybrids

@carstenfranke So, having grown up around tomatoes, I'm thinking they are #Brandywine heirloom tomato crossed with one of the yellow-fruited heirlooms. From the article: "There are a number of other yellow-fruited heritage cherry tomato varieties to choose from – ‘Galina’, ‘Gold Nugget’ and ‘Golden Sunruse’ are a few alternatives to consider." Bookmarking the article for future #GardeningExperiments! TY!

Inflation weary Americans snapped up fuel-sipping hybrids made by Japanese and South Korean automakers this spring, contributing to a gas-electric sales bonanza for Toyota Motor and a sales decline for General Motors. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/business/2026/07/02/companies/toyota-us-hybrid-demand/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #business #companies #toyota #honda #hybrids #gm #cars #carmakers

With Honda Motor and Nissan Motor having essentially traded places since plans to combine the two companies collapsed last year, the stage is set for what some see as a potential restart of talks on more even terms. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/business/2026/05/15/companies/honda-nissan-shift/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #business #companies #honda #nissan #carmakers #electricvehicles #hybrids #cars

I just learned something new about hybrid cars: traditional gasoline cars with internal combustion engines using the Otto cycle are only about 25% efficient. Hybrids use a modified engine using the Atkinson cycle, which achieves roughly 40% efficiency, the Toyota Sienna in the video 41%. This increased thermal efficiency is the primary reason for their superior fuel economy.

Honda needs a big pivot, and maybe a partner, after big EV-related losses, with a likely shift toward hybrids helped by brand power and a solid reputation. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/business/2026/04/03/companies/honda-ev-losses/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #business #companies #carmakers #honda #electricvehicles #hybrids #cars

The list of human anatomical anomallies from other apes is a long list, but also, curiously, a list that either specifically matches or leans toward another species? 🤔
