BMW reigns with sales record in 2021 as Daimler, VW lose ground

$寶馬汽車(ADR) (BMWYY.US)$ $大眾汽車(ADR) (VWAGY.US)$ $戴姆勒奔馳(ADR) (DMLRY.US)$ Volkswagen vehicle deliveries fell 8.1% in 2021 to just under 4.9 million hurt by supply chain bottlenecks, the carmaker said on Wednesday, adding it expected the situation to remain volatile in the first half of this year.

By contrast, luxury carmaker BMW saw record deliveries of 2.21 million vehicles from the BMW brand, a success attributed in part to its ability to adapt to supply chain shortages.
