Volkswagen rolls out record 1.23 lakh units in 2015 from Pune plant
Volkswagen, under the regulatory scanner for cheating on emission tests here as well as elsewhere in the world, on Friday said its Indian unit had recorded its best-ever production of 1,23,456 units at its Pune plant in 2015, up 10% from the previous year.
“In 2015, we rolled out 1,23,456 cars from the production facility at Chakan. These were 12,012 units or 10% more than the comparable numbers in 2014,” the German company said in a statement.
It said the record production was driven by higher demand in domestic as well as export markets, led by its Vento model, which cornered around 60% of the total production.
With this, production at Chakan, Pune plant crossed 5,75,000 unit since the start of operations in March 2009.
Volkswagen India president and MD managing director Andreas Lauermann said the Pune plant increased production for the third year in a row following rising demand from both domestic as well as export markets.
