BMW Evolve
Audi AG, a subsidiary of luxury cars from Volkswagen AG said Thursday that its worldwide sales rose 5.3 percent in October compared to the same month in 2006.
The Ingolstadt-based manufacturer Audi 900 parts and iconic cars like the TT and A4, among others, said it sold 76,900 vehicles last month, against the 73,050 sold in October last year.
Who put the company on track to exceed its sales target of 950,000 cars by the end of the year said Ralph Weyler, who oversees marketing and sales company. "With the results of last month, we are extremely confident in the latter months of 2007, "he added. In the period from January to October, the German automaker sold 818,200 cars in the world. The number is up eight percent of the 757,763 it sold during the first ten months of 2006.
Demand was strong in the U.S., where sales rose 15.4 percent in October 7421 with cars sold, while demand in Britain have propelled sales of more than 12.8 percent for 7066. In Germany, its home market, Audi sold 23,742 vehicles last month, up 5.5 per cent last year, reported International Herald Tribune.
Based on this report, the largest increase in the automobile came into Asia and the Pacific, where it sold 10,100 cars, up 17.9 percent a year ago. China itself increased by 24.8 percent. So far, the company sold 83,863 cars in China, including Hong Kong. "We aim to sell more 100,000 vehicles in China this year, "said Weyler.
Audi has really come a long way. It has evolved from Auto Union NSU, Horch and DKW, the former having incorporated the historic Audi company which was founded in 1910. Currently, the German manufacturer is line etching indelible in the racing world.
Earlier, the manufacturer began to offer a control system automated lines for its product called Multi Media Interface (MMI). The feature comes amid criticism of BMW's iDrive control. The iDrive control, in essence, is a rotary control to control the satellite navigation, radio, television, heating and car controls with screen. MMI has been widely reported to be a significant improvement over BMW's iDrive.
MMI has been generally well accepted. The reason: The MMI requires less menu-surfing with its mass of buttons around a central knob, with shortcuts to the radio or phone features. The screen, either color or monochrome, is mounted on the dashboard up, and the A6 and A8, the controls are mounted horizontally. Meanwhile, an "MMI Like "system is also available on the Audi A3 and product lines A4 offers optional navigation system.
Shares of the automaker rose about 3.2 percent to € 743 (U.S. $ 1089.68) in Frankfurt.
