On the industrial side of things, we often see utility vehicles that are limited in seating capacity. But now, Kubota unveils the new four-seater utility vehicle, the Kubota RTV1140CPX, carrying more and taking workers to various places needed inside their plant or office.

Actually the seating design can be adjusted as needed. It converts from one-row seating to two-row seating depending on the customer’s passenger and cargo need at any given time. This is all possible because of the RTV utility vehicle’s rail system, which enables a quick and easy conversion between the one-row and two-row seating options.

The RTV1140CPX Four-Seater Utility Vehicle runs on a three-cylinder Kubota diesel engine with 24.8-horsepower, 4-wheel wet disc brakes and hydraulic power steering. The VHT Plus transmission delivers easier gear-shifting and smoother dynamic braking.

Ford is thankful that it has one vehicle doing well in the market. The vehicle is their Ford Fusion and thanks to the growing popularity of this vehicle, they have moved up in the retail market share for April.

In April, the Ford Fusion paced the share performance. Fusion sales totaled 18,321, a record for any month. April was the first full month of sales for the redesigned 2010 model and the new Fusion Hybrid version, and April is believed to be the first month that Fusion was among the top three-selling mid-size sedans. Recent independent studies rate Fusion and the Mercury Milan – the most fuel-efficient mid-size sedans in America – as having the best predicted reliability among all mid-size sedans.

The new Fusion Hybrid is one of four hybrid models offered by Ford. Hybrid models also are offered in the Mercury Milan mid-size sedan and the Ford Escape and Mercury Mariner small utility vehicles. All Ford hybrid models are the most fuel-efficient vehicles in their class, and the Ford Escape and Ford Fusion recently were named to Kelley Blue Book’s list of Top 10 Green Cars. In April, combined sales of all hybrid models totaled 2,299, up 21 percent versus a year ago.

Other new Ford products contributed to the retail share performance, including the new F-150 pickup, America’s best-selling vehicle, and Ford Flex, the distinctively styled crossover utility that had its best sales month ever (3,190).
