Gigantul Toyota suferă. Vânzările celui mai mare producător auto au scăzut pentru a şasea lună consecutiv din cauza cererii slabe din China - Economica.net

Toyota's global car sales fell for the sixth consecutive month in July, impacted by rising gasoline prices and competition in China. Sales dropped by 5.3% year-on-year, totaling 912,683 units, while production decreased by 1.4%.

Despite these challenges, Toyota raised its profit outlook for the fiscal year ending March 2027, citing strong demand for hybrids in the U.S.
