Although the company forecasts the number of cars sold in Japan in 2005 to drop by 3.1% to 720,000 cars, it expects sales outside Japan to have risen this year, the report said.
Car sales in the US are expected to have risen 4% to 1.45 million cars this year, while those in Europe have climbed 11% to 285,000. It also expects its China car sales to have jumped 19% to 260,000 units, AP added.
The Associated Press noted that the forecast volume of car sales and production this year are both record highs for Honda, thanks mainly to strong overseas sales.
