Audi sales up 1% in June, eyes stronger H2 volume growth

[BERLIN] Audi said it expects stronger volume growth in the second half of the year after a rebound in Chinese deliveries brought about a one per cent gain in June sales to 170,650 cars.

"After a difficult first half of the year, we are expecting a stronger second half given the current order position," sales chief Dietmar Voggenreiter said on Friday in an emailed statement.

Six-month sales were down 4.7 per cent to 908,950 luxury cars and sport-utility vehicles.

Deliveries in China bounced back 1.7 per cent in June after a dispute between management and dealers in Audi's largest market was resolved in May.
