Mazda Motor Corp.’s deliveries in China tumbled to the lowest in 19 months as anti-Japan protests flared in the world’s largest vehicle market, fueling concern larger automakers such as Toyota Motor Corp. will follow suit.
Mazda reported yesterday China deliveries dropped 35 percent last month to 13,258 vehicles, meaning the company didn’t even match its sales during the aftermath of last year’s tsunami in Japan and floods in Thailand. Mitsubishi Motors Corp. today said Chinese sales plunged 63 percent.
