It’s celebration time for the Toyota automotive company, as official records indicate that they’ve achieved 60 months of selling the most number of vehicles in Australia, and that too, consecutively.
In March 2010, Toyota sold over twenty thousand vehicles in Australia, towering over their closest competition by 72%. In fact, the March 2010 sales figures showed a 22.3 % increase in vehicle sales as compared with the March 2009 numbers. Toyota did not just outrank each of its competitors last month; its sales were greater than those of the companies ranking second and third put together.
In that month, the Toyota Prado, an SUV, recorded almost 2100 sales, with the Toyota Hilux recording over 10,200 deliveries, setting a Q1 2010 record. And they show no signs of stopping. In fact, the company believes that by the end of the 2010 financial year, there would be over 950,000 sales recorded.
In 2010, Toyota has sold over 50,000 vehicles, 20,000 of which were sold in the same month. If Toyota continues to chalk up the numbers at the same rate, then the financial year 2011 would be a landmark for the company, with a prediction of the one-million mark being reached during that year.
