Nissan’s September China auto sales down 34.6 pc, excluding imports

Nissan Motor Co’s China auto sales, excluding imports, fell 34.6 per cent in September from a year earlier as Chinese consumers shunned Japanese cars in response to a territorial row between the two countries.

Nissan’s vehicle venture with China’s Dongfeng Motor Group Co sold 88,249 vehicles last month, the Chinese company said.

Sales totalled 1.09 million vehicles in the first nine months of this year, down 0.4 per cent from the same period in 2011.
