Hahn, chairman, said the company’s worldwide sales for the first two months of 1992 increased 6% over the previous year, to a total of 558,000 units. A similar rise oc- curred in Europe; sales over the same period were 413,000 units, a 6% increase. In North America, where the recession has had an impact on the auto industry, sales showed a slight increase compared with 1991, Volkswagen’s Mexican facility, said Dr. Hahn, will boost produc- tion 60% by 1994. This will bring Mexican production to a total of 390,000 vehicles. The plant sup- plies Golfs and Jettas to North America.
