Toyota group annual output tops 10 mil. units

The Toyota Motor group produced more than 10 million vehicles last year, becoming the first automaker to reach that figure.
Toyota officials said on Wednesday that the group, which includes Daihatsu Motor and Hino Motors, manufactured more than 10.1 million vehicles worldwide in 2013. That's up a little over 2 percent from the previous year.The increase was driven by overseas production, which rose over 6 percent, to about 5.8 million units. The US economic recovery and an upturn in demand in China were key factors behind the rise.
