Record volume and value for Volkswagen in 2014
03/03/2015
Chairman Martin Winterkorn said: “We can look back on the past fiscal year with satisfaction: despite the difficult economic environment, we achieved our goals for 2014. At the same time, our efficiency programme Future Tracks has laid the groundwork that will enable us to continue our successful trajectory with all our strength.”
However, we warned that due to subdued growth prospects in regions outside China, there is no guarantee that 2015 will be a successful year – either for the industry or for the Volkswagen Group.
“Continuing political uncertainty, strong currency fluctuations and tough environments in markets such as Russia and Brazil present major challenges for the Volkswagen Group this year as well. In light of this, the scenarios underlying our forecast are based on conservative assumptions. Nevertheless, our goal is not only to increase our volumes, but also to lift sales revenue and earnings again.”
