Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles: Over Seven Per Cent Growth in Deliveries During February


  • Global deliveries exceed 32,150 (+7.1 per cent)

  • Western Europe region with growth of 9.2 per cent

  • Brand delivers 8,400 vehicles in the important home market during February


Hanover – Noticeable growth particularly in Germany has a positive impact on the delivery figures of Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles: “Worldwide some 32,150 vehicles were delivered in February, which represents a 7.1 per cent rise year on year,” said Bram Schot, Member of the Brand Board of Management for Sales and Marketing at Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles.


In its key market of Germany, Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles recorded a 17.1 per cent increase in deliveries for the month of February. A total of 8,400 vehicles were delivered from the model ranges T5, Caddy, Amarok and Crafter. Apart from Germany, Spain (+18.6 per cent), Italy (+8.1 per cent) and the United Kingdom (+5.3 per cent) have also been able to improve considerably on their previous year’s result.


The Middle East region similarly recorded an exceptionally successful February, where deliveries of 2,900 vehicles represent an increase of 113.7 per cent. The strong growth is mainly attributable to delivery figures in Turkey (+124.9 per cent).


In South America and Eastern Europe, the difficult conditions continued to have an effect, with decreasing figures in Russia being particularly noticeable. The 2,500 vehicles delivered in February represented a fall of 16.9 per cent for the Eastern Europe region. In South America, the number of vehicle deliveries fell to 2,600. Despite a positive result in Argentina (1,300 vehicles; +21.8 per cent), figures for the region were 3 per cent down year on year in total.


The Africa region with 1,100 vehicles delivered was significantly below the level of the previous year (-36.9 per cent); Asia/Pacific with a total of 1,700 vehicles was able to deliver 3.6 per cent more vehicles than in the equivalent month of the preceding year.

2018 Lamborghini Aventador S Roadster Review

“Supercars just don’t excite me anymore.” These words, spoken to me over a month ago by another journalist, friend, and (so-called) enthusiast were echoing in my head for far too long, but they’ve finally been drowned out. Drowned out by the wail of a naturally aspirated 6.5-liter V12 engine mounted in the middle of the new Lamborghini Aventador S Roadster. My friend’s point is that back in the good old days, there was a crop of supercars that captured the imagination with amazing style, sounds, performance, and more. Today, it seems like everything is capable of supercar performance, with large luxury sedans outdoing some of the best and most dedicated teams of car nuts, while former pillars of automotive excellence are suddenly pumping out family-friendly SUVs. Beyond that, another league of supercars, dubbed hypercars have cropped up with hybrid gas-electric powertrains that make magical things happen quickly, but at the cost of the acoustic drama, visual flair, and engag...

Project SportWagen: Going Stage 2 with APR

    When we last left you, the humble little SportWagen was fresh from the development process with our friends at AWE Tuning, sporting a new downpipe, exhaust and intake, allowing things to breathe a bit easier.  The car sounded great, but there was no getting around the fact that our wagon was still quite, well, slow.   While we realize that nothing we do to the Golf SportWagen at this point will make it a race car, we still felt compelled to do something .  To put it bluntly, we had a fever, and the only cure was more power. Flash forward a few hours, and we found ourselves at Waterfest, staring down APR’s palatial spread and the numerous tuned vehicles surrounding it.  Earlier in the year, APR had hinted to us that their 1.8 TSI files would be quite impressive, and based on what they were able to do with the 2.0 TSI found in the new GTI and our time in their Golf R, we knew it’d be worth the wait.  So with this in mind, we lined our G...

Audi Teases A7 Details with New Video

Audi’s gearing up to unveil the latest iteration of the A7, and to get you excited they’ve released this teaser video focusing on the details. The lights, the lines, the interior are all teased here, and though on its own the video doesn’t give us a strong sense of what the whole car will look like, with all of the other details we’ve seen so far we now have a pretty good sense of what’s coming. As you might expect, the updated A7 will look broadly similar to the outgoing A7, but will differ in the details. Based on what we’ve seen, the changes look good. As was reported yesterday, we’re expecting a 3.0-liter turbocharged engine, a 4.0-liter V8 twin-turbo, a 2.9-liter twin-turbo V6, and an RS7 that could reportedly make up to 700 hp thanks to the Porsche Panamera’s hybrid drivetrain. We’ll know for sure, though, on Thursday, October 19, when the car is revealed. You can watch the livestream on our site or at audi.com at 2:00 pm.
