In the automotive business in Japan, the extraordinary demand, which was prevalent the previous few years, for customers to replace ordinary trucks with those that are compliant with stricter regulations, subsided, resulting in sluggish demand for the Company's products. However, sales remained almost unchanged from those of previous year, thanks to an increase in production volume overseas and to greater volume of exports of vehicles from Japan.
