Record year for Audi, despite “various challenges”
Automotive brand Audi, part of the Volkswagen Group, has reported record sales for 2015.

Worldwide deliveries increased by 3.6% year on year to just over 1.8 million automobiles. This total was achieved despite the fact that the first representatives of the current model initiative – the new A4, the new Q7 and the new R8 – were not available in all regions of the world last year.

“We have surpassed the target set in our strategy [for] 2015 of 1.5 million cars by 300,000,” said Rupert Stadler, chairman of the board of management. “We were able to master a year that presented various challenges very successfully.”
