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.

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.
