MANILA: Toyota recently announced its YTD sales, production, and export results as of the end of August 2021. The tallies include figures from Toyota's subsidiaries Daihatsu and Hino Motors.

In August, Toyota's records show that its Japan sales have increased, despite declined production brought about by COVID-19 restrictions and the supply shortage. 

In Japan, Toyota recorded 112,000 units in sales, which the carmaker credited to the strong sales of the Yaris and Roomy compact MPV.

In North America, sales are said to be down by 2% with 188,000 units sold. However, Toyota remains optimistic as sales of the RAV4, Lexus vehicles, and its hybrid cars "continued to be solid."

As for production figures, Toyota was down 12.5% with 632,489 units produced worldwide. Toyota's Japanese production and the combined production of Daihatsu and Hino, likewise saw a decrease. 

Exports results show that Toyota and its brands exported 112,832 units, down by 12.3%.
