Mercedes sales unchanged, group sales down
|
Mercedes worldwide sales in September were not as good as same time last year. The car group sold 116,100 cars last month compared to 117,800 last year in the same month. Sales for the first 3 quarters saw a record figure of 934,200 units compared to last years 883,000 or a 5.8% increase.
After very strong sales in September 2005 as a result of the successful launches of the B-, M-, R- and S-Class, Mercedes-Benz managed to keep sales at the same record level in September 2006. The worldwide deliveries of 106,600 units matched the total posted in September 2005. During the first three quarters, sales at Mercedes-Benz rose by nine percent to the record of 846,300 passenger cars (Q1-Q3 2005: 773,800).
The response to the new generation E Class has been very positive, with demand for the vehicle climbing by two percent in September to 21,000 units worldwide. Since July, the E-Class has once again been the international market leader for upper-range automobiles.
