Its sales volume raised 1,5% from the year-earlier period to 5,11 million vehicles. Of course, the scandal involving Volkswagen's diesel models has had a significant impact on sales, but the automaker's Audi luxury brand and mass-media market Skoda brand did well. This was due to the fact that consumers in Europe were less aware of emissions problems with those two brands. China, being the world's largest automobile market, ...
