• BEV share of total deliveries increased to 7.9 percent (Jan-Sep 2022: 6.1 percent), reaching 9.0 percent in Q3 (Q3 2022: 6.8 percent)

• Hildegard Wortmann, member of the Group’s Extended Executive Committee for Sales: “We showed a good overall performance in our all-electric deliveries with a global increase of 45 percent in the first nine months. Despite the current general reluctance in the European market to buy battery-powered vehicles, we gained market share and remained market leader in this segment. However, our order intake is below our ambitious targets due to the lower than expected overall market trend.”
