Domestic new car sales in the first half of fiscal 2024 (April to September) were 2,168,729 units, down 2.6% from the same period last year. This was caused by a series of certification frauds at companies such as Daihatsu Motor Corporation and Toyota Motor Corporation, which resulted in production suspensions. We compiled data released on the 1st by the Japan Federation of Automobile Dealers Associations and the National Federation of Light Vehicle Associations.
