In 2018, the multi-brand car and trucks maker, which owns the Scania, MAN, Lamborghini, Skoda, Audi, Porsche and Bugatti brands, delivered 10.8 million vehicles to customers.

Volkswagen chief executive Herbert Diess issued the revised forecast during an investor presentation in New York. The group reiterated it expected an operating return on sales of between 6.5% and 7.5% before special items for last year.

Volkswagen is due to release 2019 earnings on March 17.

The group also said it would invest 7 billion euros ($7.8 billion)to create a dedicated software organisation to raise in-house software development to 60% from 10%.
