Sales of VW cars decline 2%

The number of new Volkswagen cars registered in Germany fell by 2 percent in November, but VW remained the biggest-selling brand in its home country, official data showed yesterday. 

New registrations of VW cars declined to 57,923 vehicles last month, the federal transport authority KBA calculated in regular monthly data, which also showed that VW’s share of the German market stood at 21.3 percent. 

Overall, the total number of new car registrations including all brands, both domestic and foreign, rose by 8.9 percent to 272,377 vehicles in November, KBA said.

VW is embroiled in a massive pollution-cheating scandal after it was forced to admit it had installed software in 11 million diesel engines worldwide aimed at skewing the results of emission tests.

The scandal has plunged VW into its deepest-ever crisis.
