Subaru Corporation is targeting an 11% increase in global vehicle production to a record 1.1m vehicles in 2020 from 987,000 units last year, driven by strong demand in the US and a rebound in domestic output.

The automaker aims to produce 690,000 vehicles in Japan this year, up from 619,000 units in 2019 when production was still affected by a series of quality control scandals previously.

At the end of 2017 the company was forced to admit that unauthorised staff had conducted vehicle inspections at its domestic plants for more than 30 years.

Subaru also aims to increase overseas production by 11% to 410,000 vehicles in 2020 from 369,000 units last year. 

Subaru is targeting a 3% rise in global sales to 1.07m units this year from 1.042m units in 2019, with sales in the US expected to rise by 4% to 725,000 units; sales in Japan unchanged at 131,000 units; Canada 60,000 units (+5%); and Australia 42,000 units (+5%).
