With 1.92 million vehicles delivered to its customers last year, Volkswagen had performed beyond expectation in the past year, said the European automaker Friday in a statement.

The company also planned to invest 10.6 billion euros (about $13.8 billion) in China through 2015 to expand its production capacity and develop new products, said Karl-Thomas Neumann, president and chief executive of Volkswagen Group China, which operates car ventures with Chinese state auto groups SAIC Motor and FAW Group.
