Germany's Volkswagen has taken the crown as the world's top carmaker after its sales overtook those of Japanese rival Toyota during the first half of the year, it was reported 28 July 2015. Toyota, the manufacturer of Prius hybrid, Camry sedan and the top-of-the range Lexus, said its group sold 5.02 million vehicles worldwide in the six months ended June, down 1.5 per cent from a year earlier due to weak domestic sales. Volkswagen, which has a long-held goal to overtake Toyota as the world's number, said this month it sold 5.04 million vehicles in the six-month period. VW sales also fell during the first six months of this year, sliding by 0.5 per cent after strong demand in North America and Europe failed to offset a drop in sales in China - the world's biggest car market.
