•Crafter model series with a clear gain

•Two-digit growth in South America and Africa

Hannover, 16 April 2017 – In the first three months of the year Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles delivered 114,700 vehicles to customers all over the world. That is 5.9 per cent less than in the same period of last year.

Due to the stop on deliveries of the T6 with passenger car registration, which resumed in the beginning of May, the consistently good demand of all Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles models will not be reflected in the first quarter of 2018's deliveries.

In Eastern Europe, 9,000 vehicles of the brand were delivered to customers (-1.6 per cent).

In South America deliveries increased by 19.2 per cent with 11,100 vehicles. Likewise, Africa (+48.3 per cent to 4,350 vehicles) and the Asia-Pacific region (+6.7 per cent to 5,800 vehicles) also recorded upward trends.

North America (-32.7 per cent to 1,800 vehicles) and the Middle East (-5.9 per cent to 5,400 vehicles) recorded declines in deliveries.

Overview of worldwide deliveries (Q1/2018) by model range:

•40,400 vehicles from the T-model range (50,600; -20.2 per cent)

•19,700 vehicles from the Amarok range (18,300; +7.6 per cent)

•12,000 vehicles from the Crafter range (10,500; +13.5 per cent)
