There was strong growth in BEVs, with some 983,100 vehicles worldwide, up 32% over the previous year (744,600 vehicles).
BEV order intake in Europe was up around 55% on the previous year. BEV drivers include new models such as the Škoda Elroq, Audi A6 e-tron, and Volkswagen “The New Transporter”; the BEV order book in Europe was up by 21% to more than 200,000 vehicles and the BEV share of total order book is around 22%, the company said.
In North America, the Volkswagen Group delivered 946,800 vehicles last year, 10.4% fewer than in the previous year. The main reason for this, the company said, was the development in the main market, the USA. In a challenging environment characterised by the tariff situation, the decline there was 13.6%.
Deliveries in the APAC region declined by 6.5% to 3.01 million vehicles. This, VW said, was mainly due to the continuing intense competitive situation in China, which led to an 8.0% decline in deliveries in that market.
