Sales of commercial vans rose 2.6% in 2021 to 334,210 units, thanks to strong demand in the first half of 2021.
New sales records for xEVs and high-end vehicles (Maybach, AMG, G-Class) underline strategic development of sales mix.
2022 Mercedes-Benz EQS
Mercedes-Benz Cars and Vans delivered over 2.4 million vehicles between January and December of 2021, despite the semiconductor supply chain bottlenecks that nearly crumbled the entire automotive industry last year.
Deliveries of Mercedes-Benz plug-in hybrid and electric passenger cars reached a record 227,458 units of which 48,936 were Mercedes-EQ battery electric passenger cars (BEV). Since the EQS went on sale in August 2021, orders for the electric flagship reached 16,370.
Britta Seeger, Member of the Board of Management of Daimler AG and Mercedes-Benz AG responsible for Marketing and Sales :
“In a challenging year, Maybach, AMG and G-Class vehicles posted new records. Order intake for the EQS, the longest-range EV on the market today, is very encouraging and production of the first all-electric AMG kicked off in December, starting a new chapter for our electric flagship. This strong global demand for all our brands gives Mercedes-Benz the tailwinds to accelerate into a new electric era.”
Demand for Mercedes-Benz vehicles remains unbroken as Mercedes-Maybach, Mercedes-AMG, and the iconic G-Class vehicles achieved new sales records in 2021.
