Volkswagen launches new model as part of “SUV offensive”
12/06/2017
Deliveries grew in “almost all key markets”, the company said. There was a 6.7% year-on-year increase in sales in Europe, and a rise of 4.3% in the US. The first models of a new SUV called the Atlas began to roll off the production line at Volkswagen’s factory in Tennessee in mid-May and the company delivered 1,600 models to customers by the end of the month.
“We have continued our SUV offensive with the successful launch of the Atlas, thus making our debut in an important segment in the US,” said sales director, Jürgen Stackmann. “Further new models will reinforce this positive momentum in the coming months.”
