Summary
Volkswagen said first-half 2026 global deliveries fell about 6%, with gains outside China unable to offset a sharp slump in its biggest weak spot.
China deliveries dropped 26% as the overall market declined around 20%, while North America slipped 3% after 8% growth in the second quarter.
Europe helped cushion the hit: Western Europe deliveries rose 3%, Central and Eastern Europe 7%, and South America 8%, leaving the group up about 2% outside China.
More than 54,000 orders have already been placed for Volkswagen’s new Electric Urban Car Family in Europe, helping lift the region’s all-electric order book by over 50% from year-end.
