Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles Reports Five Per Cent Increase in April

Worldwide, over 39,200 deliveries (5.0 per cent growth)
Western Europe region with growth of 5.5 per cent
In Germany, the brand delivered 10,500 vehicles in April

Hannover, 13 May 2015 – Growth in deliveries by Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles has been carried forward in April as well. Especially in Western Europe, Africa and the Middle East, the figures continue to be positive in terms of steady growth. “We are delighted we were able to tie in with the excellent results in the first quarter and are going full speed ahead to carry forward this trend with the upcoming model changes,” said Bram Schot, Member of the Brand Board of Management for Sales and Marketing at Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles.

In the key region of Western Europe, Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles was able to boost sales figures by 5.5 per cent in terms of deliveries in the month of April. A total of 26,800 vehicles were delivered of the T5, Caddy, Amarok and Crafter model series. Year-on-year, the previous year’s figures, especially in the markets of Italy (+16.7 per cent), United Kingdom (+13.3 per cent) and Spain (+12 per cent), could be significantly outperformed.

The Middle East region also recorded an extraordinarily successful April: 3,200 vehicles sold means an increase of 52.2 per cent here. Especially Turkey, with a growth of over 50 per cent, contributed to this great result. The region of Africa with 1,400 vehicles delivered could surpass the previous year’s result (+12.3 per cent); with 1,600 vehicles delivered, Asia/Pacific could outdo deliveries in the same month of the previous year by 0.8 per cent.

The regions South America and Eastern Europe continued to suffer from the difficult economic conditions there. Particularly the declining numbers in Russia (-58.1 per cent) were definitely in evidence. The Eastern Europe region posted 2,700 delivered vehicles in April, a decrease of 19.8 per cent. In South America, the number of deliveries dropped to 3,100 vehicles. Thus the region, despite a positive outcome in Argentina (1,600 vehicles; +33.8 per cent), was in total 4.1 per cent below the level of the same month last year.

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...

Project Golf SportWagen- Intro

I’ve never really been one for SUVs and crossovers. The current offerings aren’t the body-on-frame, go-anywhere specialty tools I remember from my youth, and what they lack in capability, they also lack in on-road performance. The current crop isn’t terribly good at handling or being efficient, which in my opinion are major components of our ideal driving experience. So when it comes to space or utility, I usually look for something of the wagon variety- and it seems that I’m not alone. We hit quite a few shows around the east coast each summer, and we see modified Jetta SportWagens at nearly every event. Even amongst common consumers, these cars are highly sought-after. They don’t depreciate much, making even early Mk 5 2.5 versions expensive in comparison to other Jettas or Golfs of the same vintage. This year, Volkswagen launched their latest SportWagen, which is now billed as a Golf. In many ways, this latest SportWagen is the best yet and it has certai...

Volkswagen Group Records Best Ever First-Half-of-Year Sales

With 5.5 million vehicles in customer hands after the first six months of 2018, the Volkswagen Group is seeing the best performance of its history. Group deliveries increased significantly in all core regions,” said Fred Kappler, head of sales for the Group. “Our core brands recorded strong growth in the first half year.” For the year-to-date, all of Volkswagen’s brands had sales bumps. MAN, SEAT, and Skoda led the sales charge with performances 24%, 17% and 11% better than the previous year. The big sellers, too, had strong sales periods, with Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles, Audi, and Volkswagen sales rising 3.5%, 4.5% and 6.3% respectively. That last figure is particularly good new for the board, since Volkswagen alone sold more than 3 million vehicles in the first half of 2018. As Kappler stated, the numbers are equally good when you break sales down by region. Brazil and Russia were the most improved markets (22% and 20%, respectively), while strong sales in Europe and China (u...
