VW's sales rise, but company falters in Asia, South America

Article Abstract:

Volkswagen AG (VW) posted an increase in global sales of 8.5% for the first-half of 1999. However, the car maker's sales were still reflecting sluggish car markets in South America and Asia. The board member heading VW's sales and marketing operations, Robert Buechelhofer, kept his "subdued outlook" for the car maker's second-half sales development. VW posted a rise in sales to 2.48 million vehicles for the first half of the year.
