Heinz-Jurgen Löw, VW Group board member for VWCV sales and marketing, said: “We have made an excellent start to 2019. I am especially pleased that we were able to achieve significant growth in deliveries in our European core markets.
“We have thus successfully continued the positive development of the last quarter. Our plants in Hannover and Poland are running at full speed. We are confident that the positive trend will continue over the next few months.”
The Transporter line-up proved to be the most popular with 14,800 sales, with the Caddy (12,950) and Amarok (6,500) second and third respectively.
