Toyota sees higher vehicle output in Japan in September
- Toyota is recovering in Japan and abroad since global output fell by more than half year-on-year in April and May due to coronavirus lockdowns.
Toyota Motor Corp on Friday said its domestic vehicle production would be 1% higher than initially planned in September, as its plants resume output levels following a steep drop because of the Covid-19 pandemic.
The company plans to produce roughly 2,300 more cars and trucks than its initial plan for around 230,000, Reuters calculations found.
Vehicle production at the world's No.2 automaker is recovering at home and abroad since global output fell by more than half year-on-year in April and May, when plants were shuttered to prevent the spread of the novel coronavirus.
