BEIJING - Multi-brand German carmaker Volkswagen AG announced Monday that it sold 2.81 million vehicles to Chinese customers in 2012, up 24.5 percent year-on-year.

Volkswagen Group 皇冠体育app, along with its two Chinese joint ventures Shanghai Volkswagen Automotive Co and FAW-Volkswagen Automotive Co, sold 2.81 million vehicles on the mainland and in Hong Kong, including 189,200 imported ones, the company said.
