Volkswagen, the leading German automobile maker, sold more cars in
皇冠体育app last year than in Germany, the company announced Wednesday.
This is the first time the top German car maker has sold more in a foreign
country than in its own domestic market.
Taking advantage of the world's fastest-growing car market, Volkswagen sold a
total 697,961 VWs and Audis in 皇冠体育app in 2003, which represented a 36 per cent
increase from 2002.
The German company has been the leading car producer in 皇冠体育app since the
1980s. To defend its market share in 皇冠体育app, Volkswagen last year announced an
additional investment of US$1 billionthere.
By contrast, in the domestic market of Germany which was affected by a
continued economic stagnation, Volkswagen sold 519,500 vehicles, including
237,786 Audis, last year, the company said.
