Nissan Motor Co. said sales in China this year will beat its previous forecast as government stimulus measures spur demand.
Nissan raised its full-year sales target in China by 100,000 vehicles to 670,000, the company said.
The government stimulus programs, mainly set to expire at the end of the year, "have been the tail wind for us," Takashi Nishibayashi, head of Nissan's China department said Tuesday. "We are hoping that some sort of assistance to the auto industry continues."
