VW brand volume in China rises 15% in August
Volkswagen brand sales in China and Hong Kong rose 15 percent year on year in August to 230,000 vehicles, as the automaker maintained steady growth despite China's cooling economy.
For the first eight months of the year, VW brand deliveries in China and Hong Kong increased 17 percent to 1.8 million.
Volkswagen AG has not yet released August sales figures in China for all of its brands, but some results are available.
Last month, Skoda sales rose 19 percent to 21,600, Audi volume increased 10 percent to 47,145 and Porsche deliveries gained nearly 27 percent to 4,115.
To maintain sales momentum, VW said in July that it would build two assembly plants in the east China port city of Qingdao and the northeast China port city of Tianjin.
The company will spend 2 billion euros (15.84 billion yuan) to build the factories.
