Toyota's global sales slide 7% in February, led by slumps in China and Japan


TOKYO: Toyota Motor's global sales dropped 7% in February from a year earlier, hurt by a heavy decline in China due to Lunar Year holidays and a slump in Japan after a safety test scandal at its small car unit.

Sales in China - the world's biggest auto market - tumbled 36%. This year the week-long Lunar New Year holiday took place in February while last year it occurred in January.
