Camry steers Toyota export target
After a record August, Toyota Australia wants to export 85,000 cars in 2007A record month of export sales has signalled Toyota Australia's intentions regarding the new Camry. The company says it is aiming to export more than 85,000 of the four-cylinder medium-sized cars next year. According to Toyota, the new Camry will be exported to 20 countries including New Zealand and the Middle East.
"Overseas demand for the Australian-made Camry is running at record levels and has been buoyed by demand for the all-new Camry in both export and domestic markets," said Toyota Australia President and CEO Ted Okada.
August 2006 was a bumper month, Toyota says. The company is claiming an all-time Australian record for motor vehicle exports by any brand in a single month, with 10,699 cars exported during August.
It expects to ship about 80,000 cars during 2006; well up on last year when it exported 68,989 vehicles, the majority being left-hand-drive vehicles for the Middle East.
