German PC production was down 9% and CV up 2%. It was probably enough of a downturn to send shudders through German industry, but in reality it wasn't a bad result. Looking over brand names will enlighten us further.
PCs. All car makers had small decreases, with only recently introduced production for SEAT and Škoda in positive territory. Mercedes-Benz is now very close to VW, with German premium production now accounting for 61.4% of the total. So the dollar value of this industry in Germany is huge.
CVs. M-B is the main player here with 270,000 units made. VW chimed in with 95,000 and its truck division MAN another 40,000+. There are not many manufacturers in this area but the numbers are solid.
