『新車販売台数、2年ぶりに300万台…2011年度』

日本自動車販売協会連合会が発表した2011年度（2011年4月～12年3月）の新車登録台数（軽除く）は前年度比3.1％増の306万4336台となり、2年ぶりに300万台を上回った。

東日本大震災によるサプライチェーン寸断による影響で新車の生産・供給が滞り、年度前半は大幅に落ち込んだものの、部品調達の正常化で生産が急回復した。加えてエコカー補助金の復活で需要が急増、前年を上回った。

"New auto sale over 30,000 in 2011 for the 1st time in 2 years"

The Japan Automotive Dealer Association announced that the new vehicle sales in 2011 (from April to December of 2011) are 3064,336 units, up by 3.1% from the previous year. It was the first time in two years it went over 3 million.

While the production of new vehicles drastically went down due to the severed supply chains caused by the Great East Japan Earthquake last year, the normalized supply chains immediately revived the production. In additon to it, the government subsidy for eco cars helped inrease the demand and the sales eventually ended up higher than the previous year.
