Volkswagen Passenger Cars delivers 5.1 million vehicles
in 2011
13.1 percent rise in deliveries for full year 2011
Group Board Member for Sales Christian Klingler: "Major
gains for Volkswagen Passenger Cars brand"
Wolfsburg, 06 January 2012 - The Volkswagen Passenger Cars
brand closed 2011 with a new record: For the first time in
a twelve-month period, the brand delivered 5.1 (4.5; +13.1
percent)* million vehicles to customers worldwide. "The
Volkswagen Passenger Cars brand made major gains last year
thanks to a fresh, innovative and environmentally-friendly
model range. Our new vehicles such as the Passat, Jetta and
Beetle, as well as the up!, have made an excellent start in
difficult market conditions - conditions that will remain
challenging in 2012 - and significantly strengthened
Volkswagen's competitive position," the Group Board Member
for Sales, Christian Klingler, said in Wolfsburg on
Friday.
The Volkswagen Passenger Cars brand reported major gains

prior year. Volkswagen also developed particularly well
in India, where the brand reported a very substantial
rise in deliveries to 76,100 (30,300; +151.0 percent)
units.
Volkswagen Passenger Cars recorded a 16.6 percent overall
increase in deliveries in the Asia / Pacific region
during the past twelve months to
1.93 (1.65) million vehicles. In North America,
Volkswagen grew deliveries to 496,700 (406,400; +22.2
