TOKYO, March 18 (Reuters) - Demand for new vehicles in Japan is set to rise 0.9 percent next business year as a nascent economic recovery fuels sales of large passenger cars, an industry group said on Thursday.
Overall demand for new trucks, buses and cars is expected to total 5.92 million units, up from an estimated 5.87 million in the business year ending this month, the Japan Automobile Manufacturers Association (JAMA) said.
