\u201cThe environment remained challenging for VWCV in the first half of the year and resulted in a drop in deliveries. On the financial side, by contrast, we improved our operating profit once again. As well as stable market prices for our vehicles, our strong used vehicles business and our aftersales also played a key role. What\u2019s more, VWCV benefited from the rigorous cost discipline that we\u2019ve made an integral part of our corporate strategy\u201d explained Michael Obrowski, Member of the Board of Management for Finance and IT at Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s clear that deliveries to customers are falling short of our targets,\u201d explained Lars Krause, Member of the Board of Management for Sales and Marketing at Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles. \u201cDespite the drop, however, we even succeeded in increasing our total market share slightly to 13.6 per cent in the European Economic Area by the end of May. This is a clear sign of our brand\u2019s strong sales performance. We\u2019ve embarked on a comprehensive programme of measures for the second half of the year in order to ramp up our production output \u2013 and thus our deliveries to our customers in particular\u201d.<\/p>\n
World premieres for the ID. Buzz (1) and Amarok (3) Back in March 2022, Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles and Volkswagen unveiled the
\nID. Buzz1) and ID. Buzz Cargo (2) \u2013 Europe\u2019s first-ever series of fully battery-electric buses and transporters respectively. Advance sales began in May, followed in June by the production launch at VWCV\u2019s Hannover plant. The first deliveries, to the company\u2019s core markets in Europe, will be made in autumn 2022. For VWCV, the ID. Buzz1) represents a key milestone on its journey towards electrification and shaping sustainable mobility. In July, VWCV celebrated the digital world premiere of its new Amarok, the brand\u2019s premium pick-up. In addition to its unique design, the completely new Amarok features numerous highlights and brings many technical innovations with it into the
\npick-up B-segment. Like the ID. Buzz1), the new Amarok will also make its market debut in its first countries towards the end of the year.
\n\u201cWith the ID. Buzz and the new Amarok, we\u2019ve introduced two very important vehicles for our brand,\u201d Lars Krause said. \u201cThe ID. Buzz is the all-electric, digital interpretation of our iconic \u2018Bulli\u2019. It\u2019s paving the way to sustainable mobility and will also underpin our development activities in the field of autonomous mobility services. As such, the ID. Buzz is also a vital component in the Volkswagen Group\u2019s NEW AUTO
