Volkswagen Group
suffered a two per cent sales drop in 2015 caused by its diesel crisis and
shrinking markets, as the boss plans for 2025.
VW delivered 9,930,600 vehicles to
customers worldwide in 2015 compared with 10,137,400 in 2014.
Even so......“Delivering almost ten million vehicles is an
excellent result, particularly in view of the continued challenging market
situation in some regions as well as the diesel issue in the final quarter of
last year,” declared Matthias Müller, chief executive officer of Volkswagen AG.
“While developments in the markets of Brazil
and Russia had a noticeable impact on deliveries by our brands, we made
advances in Europe. We also recorded further growth in the North America region
and in the USA,” added.
According to Müller, 2016 will be no less
challenging: “On the one hand, as a global company we must handle the situation
on world markets where trends remain mixed. And on the other, it is our wish
and intention to systematically make the Group fit for a successful future.”
He said that not only involved overcoming the
crisis, but above all related to the fundamental realignment of the Group.
Müller added: “We are currently preparing our ‘Strategy 2025’, which for me is
the most important step towards a modern Volkswagen.”
