The pandemic wasn't enough to stop the giant from reaching new heights. It's been a tough year, but it's almost at an end. While industries and people have had to struggle with the effects of the pandemic and the declining economy, not all have suffered as much as others. The auto industry has been remarkably solid year on year, with the likes of Volvo reporting increased sales numbers and Honda showing strong production growth too. But one of the most impressive reports comes out of the Toyota head office, with the Japanese automaker showing global production increases for November of seven percent year-on-year.
