Brand Group Core records higher unit sales and sales revenue – special factors impact profitability

The sales revenue of the Volkswagen, Škoda, SEAT/Cupra and Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles brands rose significantly in the first quarter of 2025, totaling some 35.3 billion euros. There was strong growth in deliveries of all-electric models. At the same time, provisions in connection with CO₂ regulations in Europe as well as the diesel issue impacted the operating result, which decreased to 1.12 billion euros in the first quarter. Inventory write-downs in connection with the import duties announced by the United States also had an adverse effect on the result.
