Toyota's global volumes fall in April, led by drops in China and Japan
)'s April global sales and production fell from a year earlier, hurt by an intense price war in China and a decline in Japan after a production stoppage of some models and a safety test scandal at its small car unit.
Automakers have been locked in a fierce price war in China's huge but crowded auto market. Japanese car makers face huge pressure from the shift to electric vehicles and plug-in hybrids sold by Chinese brands. The world's top automaker by volume reported a 4.0% drop in global production, as weaker output in markets such as China, Japan, Thailand and Mexico outweighed higher production in the United States and India.
Nearly 40% of the vehicles sold by Toyota in April were gasoline-electric hybrids. Only 2% were electric vehicles.
