At the same time, the company has already lowered its forecast for car sales by 21,000 units – to 824,000 vehicles by the end of the current year. The manufacturer is also reducing its presence in Europe and North America and focusing on Asia. At least one plant in Japan is expected to close next year, which builds the Pajero SUV.
