Despite the current general reluctance in the European market to buy battery-powered vehicles, we gained market share and remained market leader in this segment. However, our order intake is below our ambitious targets due to the lower than expected overall market trend.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>This is a big issue for the Volkswagen Group because other OEMs are expanding BEV sales faster.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.motor1.com\/images\/custom\/thumbnail\/volkswagen-group-bev-sales-in-q3-2023-b.png\"><\/p>\n<h3><span><svg class=\"arrow-heading\"><use xlink:href=\"https:\/\/insideevs.com\/design\/dist\/critical\/icons\/sprite-common-0-dc6b7de11d922cb73553899f27128303.svg#sqr-arrow\"\/><\/svg><\/span>Volkswagen Group BEV Sales By Markets<\/h3>\n<p>Europe remains the largest BEV market for the Volkswagen Group (64 percent so far this year), which might be problematic if the <em>&#8220;reluctance&#8221;<\/em>\u00a0is prolonged in Europe.<\/p>\n<p>Other markets are also challenging.
