Toyota July Global Sales Fall 5.3% to 912,683
Auto
— 3d
Toyota’s global July vehicle sales fell about 5% year over year to roughly 856,000–913,000 units, with production down around 2%, as demand weakness in China and disruptions in the Middle East weighed on results while Japan and Europe remained resilient and North America held steady or near flat.
