Toyota’s global production declined for the tenth month despite rising sales

Japanese automaker Toyota Motor said today that its global production fell for the tenth consecutive month in November, despite its global sales growing for the second month in a row thanks to rising demand in the United States and China.

Toyota, the world’s largest automaker, produced 869,230 cars globally in November, a decrease of 6.2% compared to the same month last year.

This represents a larger decline than the 0.8% decline in October.

Toyota’s production in the United States fell to 11.8 percent, reflecting a slow recovery despite the resumption of production of the Grand Highlander and Lexus TX SUV models in late October, after a four-month hiatus.
