Car production target hit by Mideast war
Severe clashes re-emerged, disrupting shipping via the Strait of Hormuz and affecting car exports. The situation caused the FTI's Automotive Industry Club to reduce its car production target from 1.5 million vehicles, with 950,000 for export and 550,000 for domestic sales, to 1.45 million vehicles. The club decreased the production target for export by 50,000 vehicles, though it maintained the production target for domestic sales.
