☆: July record
< Production >
- | Domestic production increased due to a significant increase in Forester production, which offset an impact of changes in plant operation schedules continuing since November 2018. |
- | Overseas production increased as the plant had 6 more working days than the same month of the previous year because its summer shutdown timing was different. |
< Sales in Japan >
- | Passenger vehicle sales increased, driven by the fully-redesigned Forester launched in July 2018 and the Subaru XV which newly added “e-Boxer”-equipped models to its lineup in October 2018. (e-Boxer: Subaru’s newly-developed power unit system combining a horizontally-opposed Boxer engine with an electric motor, which offers enhanced environmental performance as well as Subaru’s distinctive driving enjoyment.)" |
- | Mini vehicle sales increased led by the Pleo and other models. |
< Exports >
- | Exports from Japan increased due mainly to increased shipments of the Forester. |
