Definitions

To help readers understand the content better, the following terms and glossaries have been provided.

Vehicle Sales: Vehicle sales comprise all deliveries of new vehicles by the Volkswagen Group to the independent dealer network, as well as sales to third-party importers and direct corporate customers.

Crucially, this figure represents a wholesale metric rather than a retail metric. It tracks the point at which the vehicle is sold by the manufacturer to an intermediary or a large-scale end-user, which is the stage where Volkswagen typically recognizes revenue.

Key Components

• Segment Inclusion: The total includes all brands within the Group’s portfolio, including Passenger Cars, Light Commercial Vehicles, and the Commercial Vehicles segment (trucks and buses).

• Joint Ventures: For regions like China, where Volkswagen operates through major joint ventures (e.g., SAIC-VW and FAW-VW), vehicle sales include the units produced and sold by these entities, even though they are accounted for using the equity method in financial statements.

• Geographic Distinction: Reporting is typically split between Germany (domestic) and Outside of Germany (international) to provide a clear view of home-market stability versus global expansion.

Summary of Sales and Growth in Germany and Abroad

The long-term analysis reveals that while the international market accounts for approximately 87% of total sales volume, Germany serves as the primary production engine for the Group, manufacturing roughly 55% more vehicles than it consumes domestically.

This export-heavy strategy ensures that the domestic German facilities remain the technological and operational heart of the production network.

Furthermore, the domestic market has demonstrated a more robust recovery phase than international territories, with a 3-year average growth rate of 7.30% compared to a modest 1.20% internationally.

This suggests that while global markets face headwinds—particularly in competitive regions like Asia — the home market provides a stable, high-growth foundation that supports overall Group liquidity.
