Volkswagen market share dips in Europe amid emissions scandal

Volkswagen saw its market share in Europe drop fractionally in September, when its emissions scandal broke mid-month, as its sales growth lagged behind the wider market.

VW Group sales, comprising all brands, rose by 8.4% in the European Union, according to regional car makers association the ACEA. The mass-market VW brand most implicated in the scandal, saw sales rise 6.6%.
