Toyota Motor Corp TM reported a 23% increase in global vehicle production to 771,382 units in the month of October.
The automaker produced 924,132 vehicles, including the brands Toyota, Daihatsu, and Hino.
Toyota’s year-to-date vehicle production rose 7.7% to 7.49 million vehicles. Year-to-date production rose 7.6% to 8.78 million vehicles for all Toyota, Daihatsu, and Hino.
Worldwide sales jumped 22.8% to 832,373 units in October for Toyota and rose 24.8% to 918,756 units for all Toyota, Daihatsu, and Hino.
Toyota said both global sales and production exceeded the previous year's level in October due to solid demand, in addition to a rebound from the impact of parts supply shortages associated with the spread of COVID-19 in Southeast Asia in the previous year.
However, the automaker warned that the situation remains difficult to predict due to semiconductor shortages and COVID-19.
Toyota expects to produce 9.2 million vehicles this fiscal year ending March 2023, down from the previous forecast of 9.7 million.
