Toyota Motor Corp. (NYSE:TM) has announced a surge in global sales for the company during July on strong global demand for the company’s vehicles.

Robust Demand In North America

The company announced a surge in global sales for the seventh consecutive month, built on strong demand in North America and increasing EV and PHEV sales in China, data released by Toyota said on Thursday.

"Sales were up year-on-year supported by continued steady demand, such as for the Tacoma and 4Runner, along with strong performance of hybrid vehicles," Toyota shared, along with data about sales in North America.

For China, Toyota chalked up sales growth to sales of the bZ3X EV and Hybrid vehicles "despite the ongoing severe market environment, including a shift to new energy vehicles and intensifying price competition," amid China's competitive EV price war

Toyota also said that promotional measures and government subsidies helped the demand as well.
