(September 13, 2017) The Volkswagen Passenger Cars brand delivered 495,200 vehicles throughout the world in August, a 9.3 percent increase over August 2016. Worldwide sales were helped by VW's U.S. performance, which was up 9 percent.
Jürgen Stackmann, Volkswagen Brand board member for sales, said, "In August, the positive trend in demand for Volkswagen models continued in all sales regions — a development that was already in evidence in the second quarter. Especially growth in South and North America as well as China is increasingly dynamic. Volkswagen is also growing in Europe, with the exception of Germany."
