Strong demand has improved global sales for Japanese cars.
Japan's top three automakers, Nissan, Toyota and Honda are benefitting from their reputation for fuel-efficient models, with drivers face higher petrol prices.
Toyota said its global production totalled 720,923 vehicles in July, up 9% from a year ago.
Nissan saw production jump 27% and Honda reported an 18% rise.
Japanese car makers have been faring better than their US rivals as drivers switch from SUVs to smaller, more fuel-efficient models.
