en.Wedoany.com Reported - Volkswagen Group recently held a market launch event in Tashkent, the capital of Uzbekistan, announcing its official entry into the Uzbek market. German Federal President Frank-Walter Steinmeier, Uzbek President Shavkat Mirziyoyev, and Volkswagen China CEO Robert Zizek attended the event.

This launch marks the first time the Volkswagen brand has fully operated an export market under China's leadership—a market supervised by its Chinese business division, with all vehicle supplies sourced from factories in China. Martin Sander, Member of the Board of Management for Sales, Marketing and Aftersales at Volkswagen Passenger Cars, stated that by entering the Uzbek market, Volkswagen is tapping into a dynamically growing region while leveraging its robust industrial presence to offer innovative, technologically advanced vehicles to new customer groups.

With a population of over 38 million, Uzbekistan is one of the fastest-growing automotive markets in Central Asia. Since 2021, the country's automotive demand has more than doubled, with sales exceeding 461,000 vehicles in 2025. Volkswagen is gradually establishing a dealer network in Uzbekistan, with Volkswagen models set to be sold at 13 outlets by the end of this year, and the number of dealers is expected to nearly double by 2028. Models showcased at the launch event include the Tiguan L Pro, Passat Pro, and Teramont Pro, as well as models from the Jetta brand. Next, Volkswagen will launch a semi-knocked-down assembly line in Tashkent through a partnership with Alyans Auto.

Volkswagen stated that it is expanding its market position in Uzbekistan through a combination of complete vehicle imports and future local production, while also evaluating further growth opportunities in Southeast Asia, the Middle East, the CIS region, and select African markets.
