Eye on imports

Volkswagen Group China will lift its number of domestic distributors for imported cars to 70 by the end of this year from 50.

The German car maker is expected to sell more than 40,000 units of imported models this year, group marketing director Hu Bo has said.

Its sales of imported models in the first three quarters were 30,000 units, nearly doubling the figure from the same period last year.
