Some of the world's major car manufacturers have reason to celebrate with 2018 first-quarter sales on the rise compared to the same period last year. Many companies - such as SEAT, Kia and Porsche - have experienced record breaking first quarter sales which justify their ambitious investment plans.

SEAT for instance, broke a historic company record. Its global sales grew in the first quarter of 2018 to reach the highest volume since the brand’s inception with 139,200 vehicles delivered in the first quarter of 2018 as compared to 117,300 vehicles in 2017. Its success has given the company a boost as it prepares to expand by adding one new model every six months until 2020.

Porsche AG witnessed a sales increase of six per cent from the previous year, which represents the most successful first quarter in the sports car manufacturer’s history. Detlev von Platen, Member of the Executive Board overseeing sales and marketing at Porsche AG, believes that exclusivity is even more important for the Porsche brand than pure growth; and says: “This year, we will again be offering new products and services designed to excite our customers and fans all over the world.”  Read more here: http://www.thenewsmarket.com/global/latest-news/all/porsche-begins-2018-with-futher-growth/s/684de0b0-e5bc-4b71-8add-87169329181f
