A Japanese car manufacturer announced new car sales in the US on April 1st.

Toyota Motor:

New US vehicle sales in April decreased by 53% year-on-year to 84,694 units.

Honda:

New US vehicle sales in April decreased by 54% year-on-year to 57,751 units.

The decline for both companies expanded from March.

Restriction on going out due to the spread of new coronavirus infection is spreading the impact on automobile sales.

On the other hand, the movement to resume economic activity in the United States is in full swing.

The two companies are planning to resume operations from the week of May 11 at the North American plant, which has stopped production.
