Nissan Motor Co. has posted record sales for the April-to-June quarter due to strong performance in Japan and North America, local media reported on Thursday.
In the first quarter of the fiscal year ended June, Nissan's consolidated net revenue rose 36.5 percent year on year to 2.92 trillion yen (about 20.8 billion U.S. dollars), public broadcaster NHK reported.
The Japanese automotive giant's net profit more than doubled to 105.5 billion yen (about 753 million U.S. dollars), it added.
Nissan president and CEO Makoto Uchida said the recovery in production and sales in Japan and North America was of particular note, and the company aims to maintain this momentum in the second quarter and beyond.
