BERLIN (AP) – Volkswagen says it's seeking to use more locally acquired parts in its auto production in North America.
CEO Martin Winterkorn told the Sueddeutsche Zeitung daily newspaper yesterday that it's not enough to produce cars in North America, but "we also need to get parts and components from there".
He said the company now buys 70 to 80 percent of such parts in the area.
