(Reuters) - German carmaker Volkswagen saw a slight rise in vehicle deliveries during the first three months of the year, helped by growing demand in almost all markets.

Volkswagen delivered a total of 2.13 million vehicles during the first quarter, representing a 1.4% rise compared to the same period last year.

The company reported sales growth in all markets, except for China, where deliveries fell 7.1%.
