The Volkswagen Group reported a substantial increase in electric vehicle sales, with 465,000 units sold in the first half of 2025. This represents a 47% increase compared to the same period in the previous year.<\/p>\n
The company also reported a slight increase in overall global deliveries, with a 1.3% rise. However, performance differences were noted in various regions. According to Marco Schubert, a member of the extended VW Group Management Board, "The profits in South America and Europe have more than compensated for the expected declines in China and North America."<\/p>\n
In Europe, Volkswagen recorded an impressive 90% increase in electric vehicle sales compared to the same period in 2024. The company’s strong performance in the European market has been a significant factor in its overall growth.<\/p>\n
In Germany, Volkswagen is a market leader, with almost every second new electric car registered in the first half of the year being a Volkswagen. This dominance in the German market has contributed to the company’s success in electric vehicle sales.<\/p>\n
However, the company faced challenges in North America, where sales decreased sharply in the second quarter of the year. The announcement of a 25% tariff on cars and other imported goods by US President Donald Trump in April had a significant impact on sales. In China, the company lost market share to domestic companies, with sales of electric vehicles decreasing by a third.<\/p>\n
The company’s luxury brand, Audi, also experienced a decline in sales. Competitors Porsche and Mercedes-Benz also reported a decline in sales, citing a weak market in China as a major factor. Despite these challenges, the Volkswagen Group remains committed to its electric vehicle strategy and is working to improve its performance in these regions.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
