Volkswagen of South Africa
(VWSA) has exported its
200 000th five-cylinder TDI
engine for export from its plant
in Uitenhage.
VW announced the R12-billion
export contract to supply engines
to the Volkswagen Group in 2004.
The contract, initially set to run
until 2010, has been
extended to 2013.
VW Communications general
manager Bill Stephens says
volumes have grown from the
first shipment of 27 500 units in
2004, to an anticipated
60 500 units in 2008.
The programme is expected
to continue.
“Volkswagen of SA is currently
developing a new engine export
strategy that will result in
additional export opportunities
to major overseas markets. The
engine manufacturing plant in
Uitenhage is a key factor in the
company’s future export strategy,”
Stephens concluded.
