Ulrich Hackenberg, the Volkswagen AG board member in charge of product development, says VW might consider a pickup for its U.S. lineup -- but not until after 2018.

VW sells a light pickup called the Amarok in many markets. Developing a larger truck for Americans would be costly but might be viable, Hackenberg said.

He added: "If we are established as we think we should be after 2018, then maybe it's a possibility to look to such classic segments."
