According to Roberto Cortes, President and CEO of Volkswagen Trucks and Buses, the group is undergoing an investment cycle of R$ 2 billion, of which the exports of Volkswagen trucks and buses are among the priorities.

For Cortes, the Philippine market is the first step in Asia and VWCO will explore all opportunities, especially from the fleet renewal program for passenger transport that is currently in place in the country.
