This is thanks to a product strategy targeted also at growing export markets in the region. Demand in Argentina and Chile, for example, has developed particularly positively as well as in other countries such as Mexico, Russia, and South Africa.
In the wake of the rising demand for commercial vehicles from Brazil, Volkswagen Caminhões e Ônibus resumed five-day working as of July 10. Thanks to its modular products, Scania has also been able to use capacity at its Brazilian plant and is exporting to markets outside the region, such as Russia.
Andreas Renschler, CEO of Volkswagen Truck & Bus and Member of the Board of Management of Volkswagen AG responsible for commercial vehicles, commented as follows: “Our long-term commitment in Brazil and our export strategy are paying off. We are seeing signs of a recovery in Brazil and are recording a significant increase in exports to other markets.”
