Ian Robertson, board member responsible for sales & marketing, said: “We had record deliveries in September and over the nine months. Despite initial signs of stabilization on the European auto market, conditions in many countries remain challenging. However, we managed to keep sales in Europe at the same level year-on-year and again recorded strong gains in the US and Asia. We are therefore on track to achieve a further increase in deliveries throughout 2013 and a new sales record”.
