Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles celebrates another record year of sales
- Record UK registrations for the Commercial Vehicles brand of over 47,700 vehicles*
- Amarok sees increase of over 25 per cent compared to 2014
- Over 8,000 #crafter models registered for the first time
- Consolidation of new Transporter and Caddy to continue this year
Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles produced a new UK sales record in 2015, registering over 43,200 new vans. The Transporter, #crafter and #amarok all saw sales increases in 2015, while the brand’s passenger carriers and campervan registrations took #volkswagen Commercial Vehicles’ total 2015 registrations to 47,739*, up 7.8 per cent on 2014 (44,297).
Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles maintained its number two position in the light commercial vehicles sector, recording a market share of 11.59 per cent.
The Transporter, the sixth generation of which was launched in September, accounted for 20,533 registrations, up over 10 per cent from 2014 when 18,593 sold. Just under 4,000 #amarok models were registered (3,908), representing a rise of over 26 per cent on the previous year. #volkswagencommercialvehicles also recorded a strong performance for its largest #van, the #crafter, with over 8,000 (8009) registered for the first time. There was a small dip in Caddy sales – from 14,007 to 13,611 – caused largely by the transition from the third to the fourth generation model.
Commenting on the brand’s 2015 performance, Director of #volkswagencommercialvehicles, Carl zu Dohna, said: ‘Launching two new products in 2015 – which make up three-quarters of our volume – was always going to be an exciting and challenging project. I’m delighted that we produced another sales record and look forward to consolidating and building on this performance as we start 2016.’
He continued: ‘We have some great offers in place to get the year off to a fantastic start, and I’m confident that by continuing to offer a strong range of high quality vehicles, as well as the right aftersales support for every customer through our dedicated #van Centre network, that we will have another successful year.’
