“In the first half of the year, the Volkswagen Group was able to match the previous year's delivery level in a challenging market environment. The basis for this is our continued strong position in Western Europe. In North America and South America, we grew significantly and were able to expand our market share. As announced, we have deliberately prioritized sustainable value creation over higher volumes in the highly competitive environment in China in order to achieve our long-term strategic goals. For the full year 2024, we continue to expect a slight increase in global deliveries compared to the previous year due to the launch and ramp-up of numerous important models in the second half of the year.”
Key figures
BEV order bank in Western Europe rises slightly to around 170,000 vehicles; deliveries of new models such as the VW ID.7 Tourer, Audi Q6 e-tron and Porsche Macan Electric begin in the third quarter.
The company expects additional momentum in the second half of the year for vehicles with modern plug-in hybrid drives (PHEV) due to the sales launch of important second-generation models with purely electric ranges of up to 143 km.
Development of core regions
Europe
The region as a whole grew by 1.9 percent to 1.93 million vehicles, driven by Western Europe with an increase of 2.3 percent, while Central and Eastern Europe declined by 0.7 percent. In the home market of Germany, growth amounted to 3.6 percent.
North America
495,200 vehicles delivered represent a significant increase of 7.9 percent. In the main market, the USA, growth amounted to 3.0 percent.
South America
At 15.4 percent, the region recorded the strongest growth to 255,300 vehicles. The core market of Brazil in particular drove this positive development with growth of 24.0 percent.
Asia-Pacific
The currently second largest region recorded a decline of 8.2 percent to 1.49 million vehicles. The main reason for this is the intense competitive situation in China, which led to a 7.4 percent drop in deliveries.
