Domestic auto output drops for 9 months in row

Major Japanese automakers have seen domestic production fall for 9 months in a row. Eight manufacturers say their total output last month came to about 691,500 units.

Nissan Motor's output plunged 30 percent after it began production of electric vehicles in the United States and Britain.

Honda Motor saw a decline of 27 percent. That's after it switched production of its mainstream models for the US, and its hybrids for Thailand and Malaysia, to overseas factories.
