This year the majority of the company sales 71.4% were overseas sales. This includes: North America 36.6%, Europe 12.4% and Asia 9.5%. The interesting thing is that overall sales of cars increased in USA, 2.556 million vehicles and decreased in Japan 2.364 million vehicles. The company also performed well in Europe. Sales grew by 44 thousand vehicles to 1.023 million. The major reason behind higher sales in USA is the steady sales of new models including the hybrid Prius. In addition, the company also introduced IMV (Innovative International Multi-purpose Vehicle) models. A great year for a great car company. Wish Toyota All the best!

The time has come for Toyota to be aggressive in the Indian market. Indian market is growing very fast and Nissan is setting up an assembly plant in India now so that it can make good use of cheap labor in India.
