Volkswagen Deliveries Up in North America for First Time in 2016

2016 has undoubtedly been challenging for Volkswagen, but there’s good news coming from the automaker. North American deliveries for the Volkswagen brand are up 4% this April as compared to 2015.

Deliveries April 2015 April 2016 Change (%)
North America 48,700 50,700 +4.0
Europe 151,700 150,300 -0.9
Asia-Pacific 236,600 229,200 -3.1
South America 38,800 31,900 -17.8
Worldwide 496,000 476,700 -3.9

This is the first time this year that North American sales rose year over year, and it’s thanks in large part to Mexico. Despite that, sales in the USA still fell that month.

VAG sales are also up for the period of January to April. Worldwide, the group delivered 0.6% more vehicles in the first third of 2016 than they did in 2015.

Deliveries Jan.-Apr. 2015 Jan.-Apr. 2016 Change (%)
Europe 1,379,200 1,426,600 +3.4
North America 284,300 283,800 -0.2
South America 200,400 149,600 -25.4
Asia-Pacific 1,325,600 1,366,800 +3.1
Worldwide 3,340,900 3,361,600 +0.6

Once again sales rose in all, but the American markets. South America is still in the midsts of an economic recession, so sales of all cars are suffering.

In North America, meanwhile, April sales for the group, as for the brand, were up. VAG sold 3,800 more cars (+4.9%) this April than they did in 2015.

China still rules the roost, though, in terms of sales. VAG sales rose 4% between January and April, as the brand’s sales rose 4.4%, to 939,400.

Audi, Skoda, Porshce, Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles, and Scania lead the way in first-third sales for the group, with their sales rising between 4.7% and 6.8%.

Review: Saying Goodbye to the CC V6

For all its size and its global reach, Volkswagen is still, in many ways, a deeply human company. There was, for instance, the Bugatti Veyron an ego project if ever there was one. 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...

More 3.0-Liter TDI Settlement Details Expected by January 31

Volkswagen and the TDI Plaintiff’s Steering Committee were in court today for another status conference following the agreement in principal reached earlier this week. Little new information was given at the conference held before Judge Charles Breyer today, but the court ordered the parties to develop a formal settlement agreement, class action notices, and a class notice plan by January 31, 2017. For now, though, owners still don’t know how much to expect in compensation. Elizabeth Cabraser, lead Counsel for the Plaintiff’s Steering Committee reaffirmed in a statement today that the compensation would be “substantial.” The potential cost to Volkswagen is widely reported to exceed $1 billion, though, with an additional $225 million going into an environmental trust to help offset excess emissions. Buy back offers are still only expected for the oldest 20,000 of the roughly 80,000 VW Group vehicles sold in America with the 3.0-liter TDI engine. Those vehicles are mostly SUVs, like ...
