The Thai unit of Toyota Motor Corp has said it expects its car sales in Thailand to rise 7.3% to 310,000 vehicles this year.
Toyota Motor Thailand said in a statement that Toyota, which commands about a third of the Thai vehicle market, recorded local sales in 2022 of 288,809 units – up 20.5%.
The company is targeting car exports of 405,000 vehicles this year, up 7.0% from 378,454 cars shipped out last year.
The firm said: “For the 2023 automotive market outlook, it is anticipated that the automotive market will gradually return to normalcy along with the country’s overall economic recovery.”
