UK, Dec and full year 2024... via the smmt

So...

ZEV Mandate for 2024 was 22%

Out of 1,952,778 cars sold, 381,970 were EVs (19.56%), to hit 22% it would have needed to have been 429,611 EVs sold... a miss of 47,641 units.

This is after an estimated £4.5 Billion in manufacturer discounts to stimulate EVs.

Crudely speaking, at £15,000 fine per vehicle, that would mean the UK motor industry owed a fine of £715 million for 2024 (it perhaps seems more realistic that instead of this money flowing to the government to invest in better solutions than cars, a similar amount might flow to the electric car makers who can sell their allowance to improve their profit margins, which .. helps cut emissions? I guess?)

Over the coming year, the target is 28%. Assuming similar overall sales, this would require 548,800 EVs to be sold in 2025. This is a 44% increase from this years total, or 166,830 units. For some context the increase in '24, from '23, was only 67,283 units, and according to the SMMT, around 64,000 of those were registered to businesses, NOT private buyers, and this is likely because of tax breaks for companies buying EVs. It seems realistic to say that at the moment demand is nowhere near what the government thought it would be ... EVs are discounted, subsidised and mandated, and we're still at <20% market penetration... and the government thinks we're going to get to 80% in the next 5-6 years?

The ZEV mandate is a bad plan.

M-B SERIOUSLY reeling in what was once a most significant market segment for the brand. It would not surprise me one bit were M-B corporate directors conducting urgent consulations as to whether to fast-track the presentation of its EQS/S-Class sedan successor(s). Especially the EQE/EQS sedans are obviously not at all appealing to the relevant buying public. And the W/V223 is faltering seriously as well.

Not sure I understand what the panic is here. They did better in 2024 than in 2023. The S-Class is no longer new and nearly every car sold falls at some point. Those first year sales highs don't last forever. There are some bright spots in their USA sales picture to balance out most of the dark ones.

Yes, valid points indeed.

I'm simply old school. Cars such as the M-B S-Class, Porsche 911, the BMW 3er sedans remain my personal icons of the German automotive industry. The M-B S-Class has always been the standard...although....in reality...it has occasionally througout its history NOT been that. And as far as the EQS sedan goes...it is simply unfortunate that a car that M-B invested so much money and hope in has had a very feeble performance in the unit sales race. Not only the car itself is at fault however. On a brighter note, here in Germany, the CLE, GLC and W/S 214 seem to be doing quite well.

Mercedes-Benz Cars sales rose quarter-on-quarter in 2024 to 520,100 units and reached the prior-year’s level. A good sales performance in Germany, China and the U.S. in the fourth quarter led to full-year sales of 1,983,400 vehicles in 2024.

Top-End vehicle sales grew by 34% quarter-on-quarter to 82,800 units driven by Mercedes-AMG, S-Class and G-Class sales underpinned by solid demand in the United States in particular. The G-Class achieved its best-ever sales quarter after new model launches in 2024, including the all-new electric G-Class. Furthermore, Mercedes-AMG sales in Q4 resulted in a best-ever quarter, thanks to further improved product availability and customer demand especially for the Mercedes-AMG GT and Mercedes-AMG GLC models.

Full-year Top-End vehicle sales were below 2023 levels, reaching 281,500 units, mainly impacted by market conditions in China, model changes and weak EV demand. The S-Class remained the undisputed leader in its segment with a market share of around 50% in all key regions.

Sales of the Core segment increased 6% to 1,167,100 vehicles in 2024 driven by good demand for the E-Class and the top selling GLC models. Plug-In-Hybrid sales grew by 13% year-on-year across all regions, while slower EV adoption in core markets led to lower battery electric vehicle sales in 2024.

BMW Group maintains BEV growth path in challenging market situation in 2024

++ BMW Group: Significant +13.5% sales growth in fully-electric vehicles +++ With over 2.45 million units delivered, BMW Group meets adjust-ed sales target for 2024 +++ BMW brand increases sales in selected regions, gains market shares and maintains position as global segment leader +++ Jochen Goller: “BEV growth to continue in 2025” +++

Munich. The BMW Group managed to continue its growth path in 2024, delivering a total of 426.594 fully-electric vehicles to customers and achieving BEV-sales growth of +13.5%. Both BMW and MINI brands posted double-digit BEV growth, with 368,523 (+11.6%) and 56,181 (+24.3%) fully-electric vehicles delivered to customers, respectively. The Rolls-Royce brand also recorded significant growth with 1.890 BEV vehicles delivered (+479.6%). The BMW brand managed to increase deliveries across all vehicle drivetrains in all sales regions outside of China.

“The BMW Group is maintaining its growth trajectory for fully-electric vehicles amid challenging market conditions. This is reflected in both the significant sales growth for fully-electric vehicles and the clear rise in new BEV orders in Europe,” said Jochen Goller, member of the Board of Management of BMW AG responsible for Customer, Brands, Sales. “We are confident we can maintain our BEV sales growth in 2025 with our strong and expanded product line-up,” Goller continued.

While BMW Group deliveries for the first half of 2024 were in line with the previous year, sales performance in the second half of the year was impacted by delivery stops in connection with the Integrated Brake System (IBS), as well as subdued demand in China. The BMW Group therefore adjusted its sales guidance for the full year. With a total of 2,450,804 vehicles delivered to customers in 2024, the BMW Group achieved this new sales target. Electrified vehicles represented 24.2% of total BMW Group sales in 2024, with 593,215 units delivered to customers. Fully-electric vehicles accounted for 17.4% of total sales.

The BMW brand delivered 2,200,177 vehicles to customers in the full year 2024 (-2.3%). With its attractive product portfolio across all technologies, the brand maintained its position as the global leader in its segment. In the Europe region, the BMW brand expanded its market share, registering double-digit sales growth in Italy, France and the UK. The BMW brand also posted sales growth in the US. In Germany, despite a declining market for fully-electric vehicles, BMW saw growth in new BEV registrations.

With a total of 206,582 vehicles delivered to customers in 2024, M GmbH sales grew by +2.1%, reaching a new all-time high. The MINI brand, which updated its entire product range last year, sold 244,915 units worldwide (-17.1%). In the fourth quarter, the brand almost doubled its BEV sales year-on-year, with 29,698 fully-electric vehicles sold. The Rolls-Royce brand delivered 5,712 units to customers
(-5.3%) in the full year. During the same period, BMW Motorrad sold 210.408 motorcycles and scooters (+0.6%) and thus achieved another record year.

Tesla outsold Audi in 2024

Looks like people are pretty tired of the high prices that Audi keeps pushing, with little to no major updates.

Audi is not MB/BMW , with a loyal fan-base…

Audi once aimed to become the leading premium car manufacturer.

It seems that leadership is now a dream for Audi and they are falling further behind with each passing year.

 

[Rolf]

I don't agree fully with his opinions or views of whether to buy a Mercedes or not, but something he says makes you think. I am sure Mercedes-Benz cars are probably better to drive than Zeekr or any Chinese brand which would swing the vote and also the brand heritage.
