Volkswagen Europe's biggest car maker, aims to more than double its sales in the United States within the next three to four years, the head of the company's U.S. business said on Sunday.
"We will sell 400,000 to 450,000 vehicles in 2012-2013," Stefan Jacoby said at an event in Washington, D.C., ahead of the Detroit auto show.
VW sold 213,454 cars in the United States last year -- down 4 percent from 2008. The entire VW Group, including Audi, sold 297,537 vehicles in the United States in 2009, down 5 percent from sales of 313,581 vehicles in 2008.
There was a good chance that VW's U.S. business could become profitable in 2013, he added.
