Toyota Motor Corp. expects a 17 percent increase in its 2010 global production, excluding units Daihatsu and Hino Motors, from this year to about 7.5 million units. The move comes as recovery signs of the economy emerge. In comparison to other years, the numbers are at a level similar to Toyota's output in 2005 and represents a decline of one million units from 2007. A Toyota spokesman said the company had informed its suppliers of its plans for production for next year, but the figure was still a rough estimate. He added that Toyota would announce a finalized forecast as soon as it was compiled, most likely in January.
