On Monday, Volkswagen Group disclosed that its worldwide deliveries for the first quarter of 2026 stood at 2,048,900 units, marking a 4% decrease compared to the same period the previous year. Within this figure, deliveries in the Chinese market totaled 548,700 units, reflecting a significant 14.8% year-on-year downturn. The U.S. market encountered a tough climate, with deliveries taking a notable hit due to the repercussions of tariff policies and the cessation of electric vehicle tax incentives. Although the European market witnessed growth, it fell short of compensating for the losses incurred in the Chinese and U.S. markets.
