CG150 Fan
(Brazil)
NXR150 Bros
(Brazil)
Under these circumstances, Honda’s unit sales on a consolidated basis in Asia*2 for fiscal year 2012
rose 8.0%, to 9,910 thousand units. Sales rose on growth in sales of the Activa scooter and Shine
motorcycle in India, and the Air Blade scooter and Wave cub-type motorcycle models in Vietnam.
With respect to production activities, P.T. Astra Honda Motor in Indonesia, which is an affiliate
accounted for under the equity method, announced plans to build a fourth factory specifically for scooters.
With an annual production capacity of around 1,100 thousand units, the plant will help Honda meet
burgeoning demand in the Indonesian market. By the autumn of 2013, the company’s annual production
capacity will be approximately 5,300 thousand units.
*1 Based on Honda research, the motorcycle registration market includes eight countries: Thailand, Indonesia, Malaysia, the Philippines,
Vietnam, India, Pakistan and China.
*2 This total includes sales of completed products of the Company and its consolidated subsidiaries and unit sales of parts for use in
local production to Honda’s affiliates accounted for under the equity method.
OTHER REGIONS
In Brazil, the principal market within Other Regions, total demand in calendar year 2011 increased
approximately 7%, to 1,930 thousand* units, on the momentum created by economic growth in the first
half of the year. This result was achieved despite a fiscal tightening policy, and an economic slowdown
brought on by the reverberations of the European sovereign debt crises in the second half of the year.
In Other Regions (including South America, the Middle East, Africa, Oceania and other areas), unit
sales rose 20.2% over the previous fiscal year, to 2,031 thousand units. Strong sales of mainstay models
in Brazil, including the CG150 Fan motorcycle and NXR150 Bros dual-sport motorcycle contributed to
sales growth.
