Volkswagen AG’s deliveries fell 1.2 percent in February, dragged down by the impact of the diesel-emissions scandal on the company’s namesake brand.
Group deliveries declined to 693,300 cars and trucks from 701,500 a year earlier, the Wolfsburg, Germany-based manufacturer said Friday in a statement. Demand fell 4.7 percent at the VW nameplate, the only division to sell fewer vehicles globally last month. Two-month companywide deliveries rose 1.4 percent to 1.54 million.
