The Volkswagen Group again reported an increase in worldwide deliveries in July, the third successive month of growth. Despite the continuing difficult situation on global automotive markets, Europe’s largest automaker recorded 6.7 percent growth, with deliveries totaling 556,900 (July 2008: 521,100) units*. This means that 3.65 (January – July 2008: 3.79; -3.5 percent)** million vehicles were delivered to customers during the first seven months of this year. The Volkswagen Group therefore continues to perform significantly better than the overall market, which declined by roughly 16 percent during this period. Via media.vw.com
