BMW Group Sees Strong Growth in Electric Vehicles

BMW has delivered 179,557 fully electric vehicles, achieving a 34.1 percent increase in BEV sales in the first half of 2024 compared to the previous year. Overall, the BMW brand grew by 2.3 percent compared to the previous year’s period with 1,096,486 units sold in the first half of the year.

The brand thereby outperformed its traditional competitors and managed to significantly gain market share in Europe. In total, the BMW Group delivered 1,213,359 vehicles of the BMW, MINI and Rolls-Royce brands in the first half of the year.

“In the first six months of the year, we saw double-digit growth of our fully-electric vehicles and models from the upper premium segment. Despite a challenging market environment, we increased sales for the BMW brand in the first half of the year, thanks to our attractive product portfolio. The strong commitment of our BMW Group employees and our robust global retail network have made a significant contribution in this regard,” said Jochen Goller, member of the Board of Management of BMW AG responsible for Customer, Brands, Sales

The BMW Group is looking forward to the second half of 2024 with confidence. This is underpinned by the full availability of the BMW 5 Series models – including the new BMW 5 Series Touring and the first BMW i5 Touring, as well as the ongoing market launch of the New MINI Family. By providing a variety of drive train technologies across the product portfolio of the BMW, MINI and Rolls-Royce brands, as well as a high level of flexibility, the BMW Group is well positioned to meet varying customer preferences worldwide.
