The German group said that it sold a total of 9.73 million vehicles in 2013. That figures covers all 12 of VW's brands, including truck makers MAN and Scania, a spokesman explained. "These are the definitive of all our brands. They are comparable with our rivals, who also include heavy trucks," he said. Toyota sold a total 9.98 million vehicles last year and General Motors a total 9.71 million.
