OREANDA-NEWS. By the results of 11 months of 2015 sales of Japanese automaker Toyota in the world were 9.2 million vehicles, by which it actually cemented its global leadership in 2015.

According to the agency "Prime", the total number of sales turned out less by 1% than in 2014, but due to problems at its main competitor - the concern Volkswagen - Toyota is ahead by a wide margin of 110 thousand cars. German carmaker for 11 months of the year sold 9.09 million cars. But in 8 out of 11 months the performance of the company showed a decline in sales compared with the same months of the previous year.

The difference between the two largest world carmakers has the trend to increase: from January to October it was 90 thousand cars. So, the edition concludes that only for December Volkswagen could not overcome this difference.

At the same time, the prospects for the Japanese automaker cannot be assessed with excessive optimism: at the end of the year sales were 10.09 million vehicles, which is less by 1% than the last year. This is the first decline for four years.
