The German group has announced records sales figures for the 2007 semester. It built 3.09 million cars, an increase of 7.8 percent over the same period last year.<\/p>\n

1.62 million vehicles were sold in Western Europe while 238,000 cars found a buyer in Central and Eastern Europe. The figure for Central and Eastern Europe is 22.8 percent more than last year. Germany is still its biggest market with 515,000 delivered vehicles but its supremacy will soon be contested by China, since VW group sold 431,000 cars there in the first 6 months. <\/p>\n

The American continent took delivery of 662,000 cars. South America rose by 27.7 percent to reach 339,000 cars. The deliveries in Brazil alone grew by 28.6 percent to 260,000 vehicles. This is considerably more than in the U.S. where low growth was registered with 163,000 delivered vehicles.<\/p>\n

Concerning the brands of the group, Volkswagen is obviously the biggest, with 1.8 million delivered cars. This is an increase of 7.4% over the same period last year. The biggest growth has been made by Lamborghini, which delivered 1,200 cars, a 29.7 percent jump. Bentley ranks second with a strong 18.8 percent increase and 5,600 vehicles. Skoda has the most impressive growth with a gain of 13.2 percent and 311,000 delivered cars. Audi delivered 509,000 cars. Only Seat saw its sales decrease, by 1.8 percent to 222,000 vehicles. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
