Toyota, in a news release on Wednesday, stated that it was able to continue corporate activities through the comprehensive implementation of various infection prevention measures and by working with partners including suppliers and dealers and focusing on “doing what should be done.”
The company enjoyed favour from customers enabling them to limit the year-on-year decline in sales and production to less than 10 percent in FY2021.
Additionally, Toyota has maintained domestic production at the 3-million-unit level.
