Production Volume<br />

Production volume in Europe was adjusted to align<br />

with <strong>the</strong> decrease in demand. As a result, our annual<br />

production volume reduced from 544,050 units in FY09<br />

to 465,868 units in FY10. The reduction mainly affected<br />

<strong>the</strong> production <strong>of</strong> Aygo and Yaris vehicles, which were <strong>the</strong><br />

main beneficiaries <strong>of</strong> government scrapping incentives<br />

programmes in FY09.<br />

Investments in FY10 amounted to €283 million compared<br />

to €229 million in FY09 which was <strong>the</strong> lowest investment<br />

level for <strong>the</strong> past ten years. In FY10, we started investing in<br />

equipment for <strong>the</strong> Yaris model change, which is planned for<br />

FY11. We continued our activities to enhance investment<br />

control and to prioritise investment projects.<br />
