Volkswagen’s sales in Central and Eastern Europe fell by more than 40 percent

Volkswagen, like many other Western companies, stopped production and sales in Russia in March. He reacted to the February invasion of Ukraine by Russian troops.

Although overall sales fell, electric cars in China saw a more than three-fold increase in sales compared to the same period last year. 63,500 were sold. In Europe, sales of electric cars increased by 0.6 percent to 128,800 in the first six months of the year.

In the first half of the year, Škoda Auto delivered 30 percent fewer cars to customers worldwide, a total of 360,600. In the second quarter alone, its sales decreased by 34.4 percent. However, it sold 25.5 percent more electric cars in the first half of the year.

Data released on Friday by the European Automobile Manufacturers Association (ACEA) showed the region registered the lowest number of new passenger cars in June since 1996. Europe’s auto sector continues to be plagued by supply chain problems, inflation and the ongoing coronavirus pandemic.
