Toyota sales fall for fourth month in May as declines in China, US and Middle East weigh
📍 The outcome
Toyota’s global sales continued to slip in May, with the fourth straight monthly decline driven by sharp falls in China, the United States and the Middle East and compounded by high gas prices and the Iran conflict’s impact on output. Meanwhile, GM reported modest overall sales drops while gaining market‑share strength in U.S. trucks, SUVs and EV segments.
The coverage of Toyota’s slowdown has since quieted without a definitive resolution.
