[FRANKFURT] Volkswagen group sales returned to growth in January, bolstered by demand in China, where core brand VW posted its best month ever.

Group deliveries edged up 3.7 per cent to 847,800 in January, following a 2 per cent decline in the full year 2015, Volkswagen said on Friday.

Deliveries of VW-branded vehicles were up 2.8 per cent at 521,400, driven by a 15.4 per cent jump in China.
