Toyota Mendahului Jualan VW Group Tahun Lalu Dengan Lebih 200000 Unit
Hanya Toyota, Lexus, Daihatsu dan Hino berbanding 9 jenama kenderaan penumpang dan kenderaan komersial VW Group
Kita semua tahu betapa teruknya tahun 2020 untuk industri kereta, dan Toyota tidak kebal terhadap kesan virus tersebut kepada ekonomi global. Walau bagaimanapun, pembuat kereta Jepun itu mempunyai sekurang-kurangnya satu kejayaan kecil yang boleh dibanggakan – mereka berjaya memperoleh kembali mahkota jualan mereka dari VW Group.
Sejak tahun 2015, Volkswagen Group adalah raja penjualan. Sama ada mereka memperoleh angka ini dengan beretika atau tidak masih dipersoalkan. Sekurang-kurangnya 3 jenama mereka terbukti memanipulasikan keputusan ujian pelepasan diesel mereka untuk mengaburkan pengawal selia. Walaupun publisiti dieselgate ini kurang baik, konglomerat automotif Jerman terus berada di kedudukan teratas sehingga 2019.
Tahun lalu, bagaimanapun, mereka mengalami penurunan penjualan sekitar 15% untuk banyak jenama mereka sehingga menghasilkan jumlah penjualan sebanyak 9.31 juta unit.
Well, Toyota berkongsi jumlah mereka minggu ini dan sementara penjualan mereka juga menurun, penurunannya jauh lebih lemah daripada yang dialami VW Group. Penjualan gabungan kenderaan Toyota, Daihatsu, Lexus dan Hino berjumlah 9,528,438 unit, penurunan sebanyak 11.3%, cukup untuk meletakkannya di garisan penamat di tempat pertama.
