Toyota global sales fall for 4th month as Iran conflict disrupts production
ISTANBUL-Anadolu Agency
Toyota Motor’s global vehicle sales declined for a fourth month in a row in May, as disruptions linked to the Iran conflict weighed on operations in the Middle East and weaker demand in China added further pressure.
The Japanese automaker sold 885,207 vehicles worldwide in May, including figures from its small-car subsidiary Daihatsu Motor, down 7.4% from the same month last year, according to company data released yesterday.
Global production also decreased, falling 5.8 percent year-on-year to 857,765 units.
