Toyota’s global production falls for fifth straight month

Toyota’s global production fell for the fifth straight month in June as the automaker was hit by a certification scandal in its home market and a price war with rivals in China.

Toyota’s global production fell 13% to nearly 795,000 vehicles in June, the biggest monthly decline since December 2022, according to Al Arabiya.

In its domestic market, production fell 18.8% last month after the Ministry of Transport discovered irregularities in applications submitted by Toyota and other automakers to certify certain models in a widening car safety scandal.
