In Europe, Mercedes-Benz Cars achieved record quarterly BEV sales, up 78% year on year and 24% compared with the second quarter, with almost one in three Mercedes-Benz cars sold being fully electric. Including plug-in hybrids, electrified vehicles (xEV) accounted for 25% of global Mercedes-Benz Cars sales in the quarter.
Customer demand for the new electric portfolio continued to accelerate. The battery electric variants of the GLC, CLA, GLB and GLA are sold out in Europe for the remainder of the year, with order books extending well into 2027. To meet this strong demand, the Bremen, Rastatt and Kecskemét plants operate on three-shift schedules.
