The first half year went notably well, Winterkorn said, adding VW expects to rise above the market in full year 2010.
Despite domestic business getting increasingly tough, the carmaker expects to grow further thanks to emerging markets such as China, Brazil and India.
In mid-June, VW upgraded its 2010 forecast, saying car sales and operating profit will substantially exceed last year’s 6.3m units and EUR 1.9bn, respectively.
