In February 2006, sales of Mercedes-Benz, Maybach and smart brand cars rose by 16 percent to 83,800 units (February 2005: 72,300). For the first two months of the year, sales amounted to 156,600 vehicles, an increase of eight percent on the figure for January and February 2005 (145,000 units).
At Mercedes-Benz, sales rose in February by 23 percent to 76,100 units (February 2005: 61,800 units). Growth was particularly strong worldwide for the new B-, M-, R- and S-Class models. Through the end of February, Mercedes-Benz delivered 140,600 passenger cars to customers around the world, up by 14 percent on the figure for the first two months of 2005.
The growth in February was buoyed by rising sales in all regions. Customer deliveries in Western Europe rose 18 percent in February to 42,800 units. Mercedes-Benz continued to post substantial growth in the U.S., increasing sales by 28 percent to 17,400 passenger cars. And in the Asia/Pacific region, sales jumped by 38 percent to the record level of 9,500 units.
A sales record of 8.100 vehicles was also achieved in February by the new S-Class, which further strengthened its position as the world’s best-selling luxury sedan. Following a very successful launch in Europe and Asia, Mercedes-Benz’ flagship model was also introduced to the United States, its main sales market, in February. Sales are expected to receive an additional boost from the market launch in the UK and from the introduction of diesel models.
Sales of the new M-Class continued to grow in February as well, with all major markets contributing to the increase in sales to 7,300 units worldwide. In Western Europe, the premium off-roader has again been the best-selling vehicle in its class since September 2005.
