Toyota Motor Corp. said Wednesday that a 10.5 percent boost in sales helped it set a quarterly sales record of 4.98 trillion yen in the first quarter, thanks to thriving demand in all markets.
In terms of volume, global sales during the April-June period -- including those from subsidiaries Daihatsu Motor Co. and Hino Motor Ltd. -- rose 8.8 percent to record 1.95 million vehicles.
The strong demand prompted the world's No. 2 automaker to revise its global sales projection to 7.97 million vehicles for the current fiscal year, up 6.6 percent from its estimate in May.
