Volkswagen Group (ETR:VOWG) nearly doubled its all-electric vehicle (BEV) deliveries in Europe during Q1 2025, reinforcing its position as the region’s top EV manufacturer. The German automaker reported a 113% year-on-year surge to 158,100 BEVs, claiming a 26% market share in Europe.
Globally, Volkswagen’s BEV deliveries rose 59% to 216,800 units, now accounting for 10% of total sales, up from 6% last year. In the U.S., BEV sales grew 51% to 19,900 vehicles, while deliveries in China dropped 37% to 25,900 due to intensifying competition.
“We increased our all-electric deliveries worldwide by around 60% in the first quarter,” said Marco Schubert, Volkswagen’s executive for global sales. He highlighted Europe’s strong performance as key to growth.
The Group’s total vehicle deliveries across all drive types reached 2.13 million units globally, up 1.4% from Q1 2024. Gains in Europe, the Americas, and South America offset a 7.1% dip in China. Deliveries in Germany rose 5.5%.
Volkswagen Passenger Cars led the way with 1.13 million units (+5.1%), followed by Škoda (+8.2%) and SEAT/CUPRA (+5.9%). Audi dropped 3.4%, Porsche fell 7.9%, Bentley declined 4.7%, while Lamborghini grew 12.8%. Commercial vehicle brand Volkswagen Truck & Bus posted a 16.2% rise, contrasting with declines at MAN (-13.8%) and Scania (-16.1%).
Plug-in hybrid (PHEV) deliveries also climbed 15% to 82,500, driven by demand for second-gen models with extended electric range. BEV orders in Western Europe surged 64%, pushing the order backlog to 980,000 units.
New models like the VW ID.7 Tourer, Audi Q6 e-tron, Škoda Elroq, and CUPRA Terramar boosted demand. Despite the China slump, Volkswagen expects continued growth through upcoming launches and strong order momentum in Europe and the Americas.
