Toyota sold 10.8 million vehicles in 2024, said Thursday, staying as the world’s best -selling car manufacturer for the fifth consecutive year.
The Japanese car manufacturer recorded a 3.7% drop in the global sales of the group units last year, including those of the compact car manufacturer Daihatsu and the Hino Motors truck unit.
The decline was largely due to a strong drop in sales in Japan, where the automobile manufacturer faced consequences of governance problems on certification proof procedures, especially in Daihatsu.

Of their exclusive sales, gasoline and electric hybrids represented a 40.8%record. Battery electric vehicles represented 1.4%.
