Toyota Motor reported its third straight month of year-on-year global sales declines in April. The drop follows disruptions linked to the Middle East conflict. Global sales, including those of subsidiary Daihatsu Motor, fell 3.7 percent from a year earlier to 902,015 units. Exports to the Middle East region declined more than 90 percent.
Production rose 3.4 percent to 933,685 units during the same period. The company maintained factory operations despite shipping disruptions through the Strait of Hormuz. The company has kept output higher than some other carmakers facing similar route interruptions. A prolonged disruption could affect parts, materials, and energy supplies tied to Gulf routes.
