PACCAR, Wabash National, Honda Motor, and Toyota Motor Early Briefing and Review
LONDON, March 26, 2013 /PRNewswire/ --
Auto sales in the U.S. have been picking up pace since last year and the trend is expected to continue in 2013, driven by cheap financing and significant pent-up demand. Auto sales in China, the world's second largest economy, are also expected to rise sharply in 2013. While Japanese automakers such as Honda Motor Co. Ltd. (NYSE: HMC) and Toyota Motor Corp. (NYSE: TM) are likely to benefit from rising auto sales in the U.S., demand for Japanese vehicles in China is expected to remain weak, as Chinese consumers continue to shun Japanese automakers following the dispute between the two countries over some islands last year. Truck manufacturers such as PACCAR Inc. (NASDAQ: PCAR) and Wabash National Corporation (NYSE: WNC) are also seeing rising demand as the U.S. economy continues to recover. Truck and auto manufacturers ended mostly lower in Monday's trading session, tracking losses in the broad market.
