"The plan to expand into exports is another pioneering effort for Volkswagen Group China," said Volkswagen Group China, Group Strategy and Sales and Marketing, EVP, as well as chairman and CEO of Volkswagen Group China Import Company, Weiming Soh.
"It represents the next step in the ongoing expansion and development of our joint ventures and underscores the fact their products can compete internationally."
The export programme is implemented in coordination with the capacity utilisation in other regions. Its initial phase targets South East Asian markets, with the pilot shipment to be made to the Philippines this month.
The export programme is scheduled to get underway fully in March, with the target to deliver several thousand cars to customers annually in the region.
