Volkswagen AG boosted its target for cost cuts at its trucks division to 1 billion euros ($1.12 billion) as cooperation between its Scania and MAN units makes progress after years of tepid results.

Scania and MAN, which had previously sought 850 million euros in long-term savings, have started to develop gearboxes together, are combining manufacturing facilities in Russia and have begun working jointly on logistics, IT systems and smaller truck components.
