The Volkswagen Group handed over 9.93\u00a0million vehicles to customers worldwide in 2015. “Delivering almost ten million vehicles is an excellent result, particularly in view of the continued challenging market situation in some regions as well as the diesel issue in the final quarter of last year”, Matthias M\u00fcller, CEO of Volkswagen Aktiengesellschaft, commented in Wolfsburg on Friday, and went on to say: “While developments on markets in Brazil and Russia had a noticeable impact on deliveries by our brands, we made advances in Europe. We also recorded further growth in the North America region and in the USA.”<\/p>\n

According to M\u00fcller, 2016 will be no less challenging: “On the one hand, as a global company we must handle the situation on world markets where trends remain mixed. And on the other, it is our wish and intention to systematically make the Group fit for a successful future.” He said that not only involved overcoming the crisis, but above all related to the fundamental realignment of the Group. M\u00fcller added: “We are currently preparing our \u2018Strategy 2025′, which for me is the most important step towards a modern Volkswagen.”<\/p>\n

\"2015<\/p>\n

3.43\u00a0million customers in Western Europe took possession of a new vehicle from the Volkswagen Group in 2015, representing a rise of 4.8\u00a0percent. The delivery situation in Germany remained positive at the end of the year (+4.0\u00a0percent). The Volkswagen Group also reported increases on other markets in Western Europe. Growth was particularly strong in Spain (+16.1\u00a0percent) and Italy (+8.8\u00a0percent). The tense situation in Russia (-36.8\u00a0percent) continued to impact deliveries in Central and Eastern Europe. As a result of these developments, the Volkswagen Group delivered more than four million units in one year for the first time in the overall European region.<\/p>\n

The company also recorded growth in North America in 2015, handing over 931,800\u00a0vehicles there. At 607,100\u00a0units \u2013 an increase of 1.2\u00a0percent \u2013 the United States accounted for the lion’s share of these deliveries. Group deliveries in the tense South America region, however, continued to fall (-29.8\u00a0percent). This trend is chiefly attributable to deliveries in Brazil, which totaled 389,900\u00a0units.<\/p>\n

The Group delivered 3.93\u00a0million vehicles in the twelve-month period in the Asia-Pacific region, of which 3.55\u00a0million units were handed over to customers in China, the Group’s largest single market.<\/p>\n
