Asia drives Mercedes-Benz to record sales year

09/01/2019
Mercedes-Benz has said it sold more than 2.3 million cars worldwide in 2018, which made it the most successful sales year in its history.

The number of units sold was 0.9% higher than the previous year. It marked the company’s eighth consecutive record year.

The strong year was driven by Mercedes-Benz’s success in the Asia-Pacific region, especially in its core Chinese market. Sales in this region increased 7.8% year-on-year to more than 943,000 vehicles.

The news was less positive from other regions, with sales declines recorded in Europe (-2.3%) and the NAFTA region (-5.6%).
