Volkswagen Delivers 317200 Battery Electric Vehicles Worldwide

Volkswagen Group has delivered 317,200 Battery Electric Vehicles (BEV) worldwide. There has been an increase of 124 percent in BEV orders received in Western Europe in H1 2024 vs. H1 2023. With 136,000 worldwide PHEV deliveries in H1 2024, there has been a rise of around 17 percent above H1 2023.

“BEV share rises to 8.1 percent in Q2 (Q2 2023: 7.7 percent). Significantly more BEVs delivered in China in the first half of the year (+45 percent), declining development in Europe (-15 percent) and the USA (-15 percent),” announces Volkswagen in a company statement.

“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,” announces Hildegard Wortmann, Member of the Group’s Extended Executive Committee for Sales.
