Volkswagen Group Has Reported 5.5% Rise in Its Sales During The First Half Year of 2013

German carmaker Volkswagen Group has reported 5.5% rise in its sales during the first half year of 2013 to 4.7 million vehicles, compared to 4.45 million units sold during the corresponding period in 2012.

The carmaker sold 1.87 million vehicles in Europe during first half of the year, a 3.5% decrease compared to the 1.93 million units delivered during the same period last year.

Volkswagen Group board member for sales Christian Klingler said the group's deliveries made satisfactory progress even though market conditions were not always easy.

"However, the economic climate remains tense, especially in Europe," Klingler said.

During January to June 2013, Volkswagen sold 437,900 units in North America, an increase of 12.3% compared to 389,800 units sold in the previous year, while South American sales dropped by 4% to 450,500 units.

In the Asia-Pacific, the company's sales grew by 16.8% with delivery of 1.73 million vehicles during the first six months of 2013, compared to 1.48 million units sold during the same period in 2012.

The manufacturer sold 827,800 units in June 2013, a 3.7% rise against 798,500 units sold in the same month of 2012.
