Honda Motor Co. said Wednesday it will increase global vehicle production as emerging markets pace a recovery in auto demand.
The nation's second-biggest carmaker will build about 90,000 vehicles more than initially planned in response to higher-than-forecast sales from China, Thailand, India, Indonesia and Brazil, Chief Financial Officer Yoichi Hojo said in an interview.
The automaker is raising output in Asia, where it predicts sales will reach 840,000 vehicles this fiscal year, 8 percent more than earlier estimated.
