Asia FX dithers as dollar steadies before Powell speech; yen muted after CPI data
Investing.com -- Volkswagen (ETR:VOWG_p) reported a 1.2% increase in global sales volumes for the second quarter on Wednesday, delivering 2.27 million vehicles despite falling demand in the United States and ongoing tariff uncertainty.
The automaker saw sales growth in most markets, with notable exceptions in North America, where deliveries fell 16.2%, and Western Europe, which experienced a 0.7% decline.
A key bright spot for Volkswagen was its all-electric vehicle segment, which surged 38% globally during the quarter.
In Europe specifically, electric vehicle sales jumped by 73%.
"Overall, we were able to slightly increase our global deliveries by the end of June despite challenging conditions," said Volkswagen sales executive Marco Schubert.
"We need to further strengthen this positive development by continuing our successful model offensive."
