Domestic sales for the month shot 27% higher, sales in both the United States and China increased by 17%, while those in Europe climbed 15%
Toyota Motor’s global production rose 11% in November to a record high, recovering from last year’s supply chain disruptions and reaping benefits from physically powerful demand in Japan and abroad.
Output for November climbed to 926,573 vehicles, while worldwide sales increased 14% from a year earlier when automakers globally were bedevilled by shortages of semiconductors. Both figures include Toyota’s Lexus luxury brand.
Domestic sales for the month were up 27%, sales in the United States and China were up 17%, while those in Europe were up 15%.
The result puts the world’s largest automaker on track for global sales of more than 10 million Toyota and Lexus-branded vehicles in 2023 – also a record. Around a third of the vehicles sold far this year have been gasoline-electric hybrids. (Reporting by Daniel Leussink; Editing by Edwina Gibbs)
