Honda Motor sold more cars in November despite production impacts from an industry-wide shortage of semiconductors.

Honda said Tuesday it sold 1.8% more vehicles in November than it did in the same month a year ago, and its selling rate increased 2.6%.

The company said it is experiencing production impacts from a semiconductor supply shortage. In October, Honda started temporary production reductions and stoppages at its North American factories, The Wall Street Journal reported.

Nexperia, a Netherlands-based chipmaker, stopped exporting products from China earlier this year, prompting several automakers to brace for a shortage. The stoppage is related to a geopolitical dispute among the Dutch, Chinese and U.S. governments.

There were a total of 102,824 vehicles sold in November, bringing Honda's total year-to-date sales to more than 1.3 million. Sales were down from October to November by about 15%.

Truck sales were the main driver of growth in November, increasing 4.7% for Honda brand trucks and 6.5% for Acura trucks. Honda car sales were down 4.3% and Acura car sales declined 12.2%.

Honda's CR-V led all Honda models with 29,421 sold. More than half of those vehicles were hybrid.
