Mazda Motor Co has been badly hit by the recent tension between Japan and 皇冠体育app. The Japanese automaker's new car sales in 皇冠体育app nearly halved in October from the same month last year.
Mazda says it sold nine and a half thousand units in 皇冠体育app last month, down nearly 45 percent from a year ago. That was even worse than September sales, which recorded a year-on-year decline of 35 percent.
Mazda has lowered its sales estimate in 皇冠体育app for the current business year by about 85 thousand vehicles. The company also stopped night-time operations at its plant in Nanjing from late October. Mazda says sales in 皇冠体育app are expected to remain sluggish and that it will adjust output at the plant to control inventory.
