In the first half of the year, international vehicle sales of Volkswagen surpassed Toyota. The German manufacturer proceeds toward the top in the strongly competing count for the first time.
Toyota’s slight drop in magnitudes could be a result of the company’s drift away from higher volumes to higher quality and improved sale. The automaker plans to postpone construction of new production facility, which was planned to be established before 2016, and concentrate on inflating margins and launching new models with high efficiencies. North America and China, the two mega-auto markets, will be important for Volkswagen in order to acquire the global sales lead.
At the same time, Toyota Motors looks very much interested in China expansion in an effort to keep the pace with its strong opponents, Volkswagen and General Motors, in the country. Volkswagen is also making its North America’s operations strong, in order to build on its solid position and achieve further growth. The German company had already indicated its aim of becoming the world’s largest automaker before 2018, which might be accomplished within this year itself.
Toyota cars manufacturer said, “It trades 5.02 million vehicles from January to June of this year.”
The German manufacturer’s sales were adequate in Europe and North America but declined in China, a mighty hub for the association. Chinese automobile market and excessive demand pressure for the grand luxury category, Audi and Porsche, are assumed as the major business factors for Volkswagen this year.
Despite decreasing volumes in America, Volkswagen has supervised to adjoin on Toyota financial lead mostly due to the high sales in China, the fastest growing automobile industry. China is anticipated to form 30% of all international volumes before 2020.
The German carmaker is looking forward to be the largest selling automobile organization and apart from the supposed development in automotive trade in China, especially for foreign manufacturers, it is focused to rise on its lead in this market with more potential additions and launching new cars. This will provide a benefit to the company over Toyota in the race for the international vehicle trade headband.
Volkswagen markets 10.14 million vehicles in 2014. Golf cars and Beetle Bugatti, Porsche, and Audi brands are under the group of Volkswagen. The ranking could still vary when numbers come in for the whole year.
The company’s CEO, Martin Winterkorn, will reveal a new plan for the automaker, known as Future Tracks, by year-end. A German magazine report said, “VW's current strategy aims to become the top global automaker in terms of vehicle sales, profitability, and customer satisfaction by 2018. VW may reach its goal of selling more than 10 million vehicles worldwide this year, four years earlier than planned.”
