China saves VW sales balance

In the past year of Covid, China has also become a lifeline for Volkswagen. VW sold around 3.85 million cars of the various group brands in mainland China and Hong Kong in 2020, with about 9.1 percent fewer vehicles than in 2019. But this decline was far more lenient than elsewhere: Globally, VW was down 15.2 percent, while in Western Europe, it was down as much as 23.4 percent.
