Audi sold 48,012 cars in China in May, a 4 percent fall year-on-year. The German automaker said it was influenced by negotiations with its dealers and partners on future collaborations, which have been brought to a successful conclusion. "The last few days of May have already shown that we will see sales recover rapidly in China and that we will quickly get back to our former market position," said Dietmar Voggenreiter, Audi's board member for sales and marketing. In the first five months of the year, a total of 202,885 cars were sold in China, down 15.2 percent year-on-year.
