TOKYO, Oct 27 (Reuters) – Toyota Motor Corp’s truck and bus unit Hino Motors (7205.T) said on Thursday its quarterly profit dropped 21%, hit by an engine data scandal that has crippled a wide range of its vehicle production.
It reported 12.3 billion yen ($84.66 million) in operating profit for the three months to end-September, beating an estimate of 1.66 billion yen profit on average surveyed by seven analysts on Refinitiv.
The result compares with 15.6 billion yen profit a year ago.
