The Volkswagen Group increased its deliveries of all-electric vehicles by 27% in the first six months year-on-year and thus successfully continued its global electric offensive.

In terms of BEV deliveries by region, Europe was still clearly in the lead, with 128,800 vehicles (share of Group total: 59%) in the first six months. The second biggest BEV market for the Group was China with 63,500 deliveries (29%). The USA corresponded to 8% of the Group's global BEV deliveries with 17,000 vehicles. By the end of June, the core brand Volkswagen delivered 115,900 BEVs to customers (share of Group total: 53%). This was followed by Audi with 50,000 vehicles (23%), ŠKODA with 22,200 vehicles (10%), Porsche with 18,900 vehicles (9%), and SEAT/CUPRA with 8,300 vehicles (4%).
