The Volkswagen brand continued to grow worldwide sales in November, reporting a further significant increase of 10.3 per cent, marking a new all-time high for the eleventh month of the year. A total of 324,000 vehicles were delivered to customers around the globe. Vehicle deliveries rose by 8.8 per cent in the period January to November. Customers around the world bought 3.37 million Volkswagen brand vehicles, the highest number ever for such a period.

“These impressive sales figures confirm our innovative customer-oriented product policy and the sustained growth of the Volkswagen brand with its increasingly broad model range. After eleven months we have already delivered almost as many vehicles as we did during the whole of the 2006 record-breaking year,” Prof. Dr. Martin Winterkorn, Chairman of the Board of Management of Volkswagen AG and the Volkswagen brand, commented.

The product offensive will be stepped up further next year. Alongside the Tiguan, which has got off to an excellent start, the Volkswagen brand’s upcoming world premieres will be the Passat Coupé and the new Scirocco. The BlueMotion family of particularly environmentally friendly automobiles will have increased from the present seven to ten models by next spring.
