Hannover, 11 January 2022 – 2021 was again dominated at #volkswagencommercialvehicles (VWCV), as elsewhere, by the coronavirus pandemic and the challenges on the global semiconductor market that it partially caused. Over the course of the year, VWCV thus supplied a total of 359,500 vehicles to customers, a slight year-on-year drop of 3.2 per cent. “While we were almost able to maintain our previous year’s level in terms of units shipped, we are seeing very high, growing demand for our vehicles”, explains #larskrause, Brand Board of Management Member for Sales and Marketing at #volkswagencommercialvehicles. “Last year alone orders received went up nearly 20 per cent compared to the year before. That’s a strong result for VWCV. Our main task for the coming months is therefore to continue during this tough production situation to work through fulfilling our high number of orders.

Deliveries by product line.

The T series remains #volkswagen Commercial Vehicles’ flagship line: the number of T series units shipped in the past year rose by 14.8 per cent to a total of 166,400 vehicles. Demand in 2021 was particularly high for the California 6.1, with units shipped rising by 20.2 per cent to
19,300. With the New Multivan, the year also saw the unveiling of the seventh generation of the popular family MPV, which was supplied to dealers in the fourth quarter. Based on the #volkswagen Group’s modular electric drive matrix, the New Multivan is being offered for the first time as a plug-in hybrid version as well. By the end of the year, there were already 13,500 orders on the books.

The new Caddy was especially hard hit last year by the challenging situation on the semiconductor market. The number of the popular city delivery vans shipped consequently fell by 24.5 per cent to 85,200 units. However, orders received for the new Caddy saw a 21.3 per cent year-on-year rise, providing impressive evidence of the vehicle’s popularity with both private and business customers.

The Amarok, which is now only being made in Argentina and was no longer being sold in Europe in 2021, accordingly fell back to 45,400 units supplied to customers (previous year 52,100). This summer the new Amarok is being launched. It originates for the first time from the cooperation with Ford and will then also be available again in Europe.

The Crafter total of units shipped last year was 62,300 (previous year 61,700). Within that the share of all-electric eCrafter vehicles rose to 1,500 units (+ 29.4 per cent).
