Volks beats Toyota and become the world's leading cars in 2014

After Toyota dethrone GM global sales leadership of cars in 2009, Volkswagen debunks the Japanese automaker to occupy the post in 2014.
The information is from the research team of specialized site Focus2Move.
According to the site, for the first time in history (or at least since the second world war) a European automaker is the world's largest.
In the year, the Volkswagen Group sold 9.9 million passenger vehicles, while Toyota had sold 9.8 million cars.
It happened because the world market share of Toyota have fallen from 12% to 11.5%. German Vw's sales, on the other hand, rose from 11.4% to 11.6%.
The success of the Volkswagen Group is assigned to the sales growth of its brands Skoda and Audi.
The two brands had sales increase of 10.2% and 9.3%, respectively. The Volkswagen brand had grown far less, 2.4% last year, according to the survey.
With that, 2014 marks a new step for the global automotive market. The dispute over the leadership stayed for years in the hands of American GM and Ford, until you reach the Japanese Toyota.
