“The Volkswagen Group has slightly increased its global deliveries in the first nine months. We are benefiting from the continued positive momentum generated by the broad-based product offensive with a total of 60 new models from our strong brands this year and last year. These vehicles are proving extremely popular with our customers, as evidenced by the 17 per cent increase in order intake in Western Europe. We were able to compensate for the challenging conditions in China and the US with partly significant increases in South America and Europe. In our home region of Europe, we grew by eight per cent in the third quarter alone. Our all-electric models are a key driver of this positive development. By the end of September, we have delivered around 80 per cent more of these models in Europe than in the same period last year, and worldwide we were up around 40 per cent. However, the first nine months also show one thing very clearly: in order to succeed in this challenging market environment, we must continue to focus all our efforts on implementing our group- wide product offensive and ongoing performance programmes.”
Marco Schubert, Member of the Group’s Extended Executive Committee for Sales
Key figures
| 6.60 million vehicles delivered worldwide after nine months, up 1 per cent on previous year (6.52 million vehicles) |
Growth in South America (+15 per cent), Western Europe (+3 per cent) and Central and Eastern Europe (+10 per cent) more than offset expected declines in China (-4 per cent) and North America (-8 per cent) | |
| 717,500 BEV deliveries worldwide by the end of September, up 42 per cent year- on-year (506,600 vehicles) |
Strong increase in BEV deliveries in Europe (+78 per cent) and the USA (+85 per cent), decline in China (-43 per cent) as planned ahead of the launch of new electric models; Volkswagen Group is the clear BEV market leader in Europe (market share of around 27 per cent); global BEV share after three quarters rises significantly from 8 to 11 per cent compared to the previous year, climbing from 12 to 20 per cent in Western Europe | |
| Incoming orders in Western Europe rise by 17 per cent in the first nine months |
The rise in orders is driven in particular by new models of all drive types, such as the VW ID.7 Tourer, VW Transporter/Multivan, CUPRA Terramar, Škoda Elroq, Audi Q6 e- tron, and Porsche 911; BEV orders increase particularly strongly (+64 per cent) and account for around 22 per cent of total order intake in Western Europe | |
| 299,000 PHEV deliveries worldwide, up around 55 per cent on the same period last year (193,000 vehicles) |
Demand for vehicles with modern second- generation plug-in hybrid drives (PHEVs) and pure electric ranges of up to 143 km1 is increasing | |
Development of core regions
| Europe | North America | |
| A total of 2,907,500 vehicles were delivered in the region, representing an increase of 4.1cent. Growth was 3.2 per cent in Western Europe and 10.2 per cent in Central and Eastern Europe. In the home market of Germany, 4.6 per cent more vehicles were handed over to customers. | 708,800 customers took delivery of a vehicle from a Group brand, 7.8 per cent per fewer than in the same period last year. In the main market, the USA, the decline was 9.3 per cent in a challenging environment marked by the tariff situation. | |
| South America | Asia-Pacific | |
| The region grew most strongly, by 14.9 per cent, to 481,800 vehicles. In the main market of Brazil, growth was 6.8 per cent. | The region recorded a decline of 2.8 per cent to 2,208,000 vehicles. The main reason for this was the intense competitive situation in China. In the BEV segment there, deliveries declined significantly as planned ahead of the launch of new models. Across all drive types, the decline of 4.0 per cent was in line with expectations. | |
