Volkswagen will increase its production capacity in Spain
- In Europe, sales of the VW brand remained stable in a market up 9.5% over first semester 2016.
- The new Polo (segment B) will be launched in 2017 (instead of 2016 previously), and its SUV version in 2018 (instead of 2017).
Both models will be produced in Pamplona (Spain), which will require a production capacity increase of the plant from 300 000 to 350 000 vehicles per year.

- It is to be noted that between 250 000 and 350 000 VW Polo are sold each year in Europe.
In 2016 Inovev expects that VW will sell 300,000 units of this model, taking into account that 160 000 vehicles were sold in Europe in the first half 2016 and that sales growth should slow down in the second half (Brexit effect).

- Given the success of the B-segment SUV in Europe (Renault Captur, Peugeot 2008, Opel Mokka, Nissan Juke), Volkswagen has found no alternative but to increase the capacity of its plant in Pamplona. The other plants such as those located in Slovakia or South Africa are indeed saturated.
