Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles (VWN) experienced a robust first half of the year with an 11.5% increase in deliveries and a 43% rise in profits. This growth was driven by the phasing out of the T6.1 Transporter and the anticipation of its successor, the New Transporter.
The new model, developed in partnership with Ford and produced in Turkey, has already garnered over 10,000 orders since August. Despite these successes, VWN anticipates a challenging second half of the year due to cooling markets.
The new Transporter offers various configurations, including a plug-in hybrid option, and is expected to continue the brand's strong performance. However, tightening market conditions and internal restructuring efforts, such as potential plant closures and layoffs, add to the uncertainty ahead.
