| 04-08-2011 at 08:00: Toyota Extends Lead | |
|
With official figures being released today, the results show Toyota sold almost 13,000 vehicles last month, pushing its total above 98,000 for the year so far. Toyota’s August total was more than 2,100 ahead of any other carmaker, giving it an overall lead this year in excess of 24,700 vehicles. Last month, five Toyotas – Camry, LandCruiser 200 Series, HiLux 4×2, HiLux 4×4 and HiAce bus – were the best-selling vehicles in their segments. HiLux was one of only four vehicles in the country that topped 3,000 deliveries for the month. Toyota Australia’s senior executive director sales and marketing David Buttner said customers could look forward to dealers having strong availability of stock for the rest of the year. “We have more than 20,000 vehicles arriving in both August and September to meet customer orders and support our two-month Toyotathon promotion,” Mr Buttner said. “Toyota has recovered more quickly than expected from production disruptions caused by the Japan earthquake and tsunami in March. “Manufacturing plants supplying vehicles for the Australian market have worked hard to make up lost production. “On behalf of Toyota Australia, I would like to thank customers for their support and understanding over the past few months.” Mr Buttner said it was remarkable that Toyota’s global parent company had yesterday released positive production and financial data. “Toyota is now back on track globally with a small net profit in the April-June quarter and higher full-year forecasts for production and profits,” he said. |
