Japan's automakers have reported another sharp rise in global production, as supply chains continue to recover from the pandemic. Six of the country's 8 major carmakers say they shipped more vehicles in April than the same month last year.
Toyota Motor says it made about 787,800 new vehicles last month, up 13.8% from the same month last year. That's a record high for April.
Honda's output grew by 44.5%, while Mazda 21.1% and Mitsubishi 20.6%. Nissan was up 15.8%, and Subaru up 12.8%.
Car production dropped sharply in April last year after China's COVID lockdown held up the delivery of parts. Last month's impressive recovery is also due to the easing of a global semiconductor shortage.
