Toyota hopes for revival after sinking to No. 3

By The Associated Press

TOKYO - Toyota Motor Corp. has sunk to No. 3 in global vehicle sales from pole position but is counting on emerging markets to drive a revival in its fortunes.

Toyota sold 3.7 million vehicles around the world in the first half of 2011, down 11 per cent from a year earlier, mainly because of production disruptions caused by the March earthquake and tsunami in northeastern Japan .

That put it behind General Motors Co., which sold 4.5 million vehicles during the same period, and Volkswagen AG of Germany, with 4.13 million vehicles sold.

Sandeep Singh, deputy managing director at Toyota 's joint venture in India, says growth in India has been so solid for Toyota he is confident the company is headed in the right direction.
