Toyota declared its sales figures for 2021 that stood at 10.1% making it the world's biggest car seller for the second time."
Toyota Motor Co announced on Friday about its vehicle sales that increased by 10.1 percent last year, making it the world's biggest car manufacturer for the second time in a row.
The recent sales figure has put the Japanese automaker further ahead of its rival, Volkswagen. Toyota informed it sold 10.5 million vehicles in 2021, including those by affiliates Daihatsu Motors and Hino Motors.
That compares with 8.9 million delivered by Volkswagen in the same period, 5% fewer than in 2020, and its lowest sales figures in 10 years.
Carmakers have been forced to cut output because a shortage of semiconductors during the coronavirus pandemic disrupted supply chains, boosting competition for the key component among makers of consumer electronic devices.
Though Toyota's 2021 sales give the company a positive beginning, it seems that it might get difficult to continue the momentum in the current year.
An earlier report had stated an announcement from the company that it will halt vehicle production further in Japan this month due to the increasing Covid-19 cases among autoworkers.
This is an additional blow to the automaker as the global chip crisis is far from over yet. A company spokesperson had conveyed the break will cut planned production this month by 65,000 vehicles, 18,000 more than it announced.
