Toyota’s Car Sales Decline for Seventh Month as Chinese Market Favors EVs

  • Toyota Motor reported on Tuesday global sales fell 6.4% to 790,743 vehicles and production dropped 5.9% to 700,860 vehicles in August, marking the second consecutive monthly decline.
  • A 22.8% plunge in China dragged sales down for a seventh consecutive month, as Toyota grapples with mounting competition from local electric-vehicle makers and weak demand for combustion-engine vehicles.
  • Sales in the United States fell 4.4% to 215,556 cars, while the Middle East saw a 37.5% slump to 32,600 vehicles; Toyota's exports from Japan to the region grew 31.0% to 24,411 cars.
  • Domestic sales in Japan jumped 9.1% to 105,067 units, marking the fifth straight monthly increase, while Europe saw 2.6% growth to 78,527 vehicles amid robust demand for new models.
  • Following a 7.1-magnitude earthquake in Kumamoto Prefecture and recent typhoons, domestic output fell 1.7% to 204,487 units, marking the first decline in four months.
