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.

Then the purchase of Ducati, a move most called folly. And then there was the Phaeton, the Volkswagen that most folks can’t afford. Not only were these moves all strange, I’m sure that they made VW’s accountants furious. None of them made good business sense, but they were all deeply interesting and they all are evidence of the heart that beats at the center of VW. Among these follies is the CC, a car that everyone agrees is rakishly handsome, but that no one really wanted to buy. The car couldn’t last, but the world is brighter for its having been in it. With the approach debut of the Arteon, it seems like a good time to look back on its sadly departing predecessor. The version I drove, because I live in Canada, is a V6 Wolfsburg Edition, which apparently isn’t available in the States. Nor is the V6, not as

Waterfest Moves to Atco Dragway

Waterfest 24 will be held at Atco Dragway, in Atco, New Jersey. The summer event will take place at its new venue on July 21 and 22.
