Unit sales in April-June shrank 3% to 1.31 million vehicles, and revenue slipped 2% to 2.7 trillion yen ($225 billion). Unfavorable exchange rates and rising commodity costs also lowered operating profit by 46 billion yen ($415 million).
Nissan says its sales in China climbed 7% to 336,000 units). Volume also rose in 7% to 200,000 units elsewhere in Asia and in Latin America, the Middle East and Africa. But deliveries for the period fell in North America (-10% to 482,000 units), Europe (-13% to 162,000) and Japan (-1% to 130,000).
