Volkswagen reported its 2022 business results, noting that global deliveries of electric vehicles grew by 23.6% compared to 2021, to 330,000 units, but saw a drop in sales of models with other powertrains.
In total, the brand delivered around 4.56 million vehicles across all non-electric models in 2022, a drop of 6.8%. SUVs are the fastest growing market segment, accounting for 45% of the total (+4%).
Volkswagen reported that the ID.4 was the world's best-selling electric model, with around 170,000 units delivered to customers in 2022. In China, the company's largest market, Volkswagen doubled deliveries of all-electric models to 143,100 units (+102.9%). There was also a strong increase in other African regions and on the American continent.
Volkswagen has already reached a first milestone in its electric mobility campaign. Since the first ID.3 was delivered to a customer in September 2020, the brand has delivered more than 580,000 models of the ID. family worldwide.
Let's recall that the brand also produces cars in Africa, and has plants in several African regions. In addition, models such as the Golf and Tiguan are assembled in South Africa for Europe. In 2021, Volkswagen South Africa produced more than 129,000 vehicles, most of which were exported. Other countries where Volkswagen produces vehicles is Brazil, for example, Volkswagen's successful T-Cross crossover made in Brazil will start its arrival in seven countries on the African continent. In a statement, Volkswagen Brazil confirmed the shipment of the first T-Cross units to African countries: Côte d'Ivoire, Gabon, Ghana, Libya, Madagascar, Rwanda and Sudan.
Although Volkswagen has seen a drop in its production of fuel-powered vehicles, it does not mean that the company has had a bad year in 2022. What is happening is that the company is competing with itself, making both electric and non-electric cars. This increase is probably due to the agreements signed between the countries participating in the Climate Change Summit.
