SEOUL (Reuters) – Hyundai Motor’s (005380.KS) China domestic plant sales in February was 1,007 vehicles, company data showed on Tuesday, down 97% from 38,017 vehicles a year ago.

The automaker’s global auto sales fell to their lowest in a decade in February as coronavirus worries kept buyers away – in one of the first major indicators of damage to business in the broader auto sector due to the epidemic.
