Toyota Motor Corp said that it expects to sell 9.91 million vehicles worldwide in 2013, up 2% from 2012, driven by overseas sales.
The Japanese car maker plans to produce 9.94 million vehicles worldwide in 2013, nearly unchanged from 9.92 million vehicles in 2012, up 26%, that the company estimates for 2012.
The numbers include production and sales at its subsidiaries, Daihatsu Motor Co (7262) and Hino Motors Ltd. (7205).
Toyota estimates global sales of 9.70 million vehicles in 2012, up 22% from 2011 when natural disasters disrupted the car maker's production and dented its sales.
