Record month for Volkswagen
Automotive brand Volkswagen delivered 593,700 vehicles worldwide in September 2017, an 8% increase compared with the same month last year. In total, just under 4.5 million vehicles from the brand were handed over to customers worldwide in the first nine months of this year. This represents a 3% increase year on year.

On announcing the results, the brand’s sales director, Jürgen Stackmann, commented: “September was a record-breaking month for Volkswagen. It was the strongest month for deliveries in the history of the brand, not only worldwide, but for the individual markets of China, Canada, Chile, Poland, Sweden and Slovakia as well. There are also clear signs of an upturn in Germany.”

China is now Volkswagen’s largest market. In September, more than 310,000 of the brand’s deliveries, more than 50% of the total, were in China. The new Teramont SUV has begun to make an impression on that market, the company said, and the Tiguan family was “much in demand”.
