General Motors Co. outsold Volkswagen AG in China in 2012, keeping its lead among foreign automakers in the country for an eighth year, after sales of the U.S. carmaker’s Wuling minivans climbed to a record.
Deliveries at GM and its Chinese joint ventures rose 11 percent to a record 2.84 million vehicles, the Detroit-based automaker said on its website today. Volkswagen, which unlike GM includes Hong Kong in its China tallies, said deliveries climbed 24.5 percent to 2.81 million.
