Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles (VCV) has announced an impressive start to 2019, with the firm’s first-quarter delivery figures showing record growth.

According to the company’s official data, 125,600 vehicles were delivered to customers in the three-month period. With a particularly strong performance witnessed in Europe.
Indeed, the firm saw 13.4 per cent growth in European vehicle deliver numbers to 87,600 units. This impressive rise was supported by a marked increase in deliveries to Spain (51.2%), Italy (16.6%) and France (7.2%).
Elsewhere, VCV reported growth of 6.7% in North America, 39.6% in Africa and 11.6% in Asia. The positive start to the year was somewhat tempered by a 44.8 per cent decline in the Middle East.

“Worldwide, our products performed really well once again. Together with our dealers, we are delighted about this all-time-high.”
The company’s T-Series and Crafter models were shown to be particularly popular among buyers in Q1, with both witnessing double-digit deliveries growth.
Jenny Smith, general manager for Tele-Gence, commented: “VCV continues to perform strongly and provide commercial vehicles to markets across the globe. This is great news for the manufacturer and points to a promising year ahead for fleet operators making use of VCV models.”
