VW Commercial Vehicles: Steady Performance - ID.Buzz with Increasing Orders
Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles (VWN) delivered 408,300 vehicles worldwide in 2024. This puts the company slightly below the previous year's figure of 409,400 units. Models such as the Caddy, the Multivan, and the Crafter, in particular, were able to record significant gains.
"2024 was a challenging year with a very strong first half and a difficult second half," said Lars Krause, Board Member for Sales, Marketing, and Aftersales at Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles (VWN). "We not only managed to maintain our international market share but also further expanded it in some markets, which is a strong achievement. In Europe, we are the clear market leader in the B-segment of battery-electric transporters with our fully electric ID. Buzz."
ID. Buzz: Strong Growth in Order Intake
The ID. Buzz achieved an increase of over 70 percent in order intake in 2024 compared to the previous year. According to the manufacturer, this was due to the expanded model lineup – such as the all-wheel drive version and the long wheelbase – as well as attractive pricing options. In the coming year, VWN will push the internationalization of this model and introduce the ID. Buzz in Australia, Japan, and other countries.
Caddy on Record Course
Another successful model is the Caddy, which achieved a 17.2 percent increase with 107,200 units delivered. This marked the first time the city delivery van surpassed the 100,000-vehicle mark. For 2025, VWN announced a hybrid version of the Caddy, which is expected to impress with an electric range of up to 122 kilometers.
T-Series with Challenges, Amarok Weaker
The T-Series remains VWN's highest-volume model with 148,300 units, but recorded a decline of 5.5 percent. The Amarok managed a total of 52,200 deliveries – a decrease of 20.7 percent compared to the previous year. However, production of the successor model of the first generation has already started in South America.
Model Offensive for 2025
With the introduction of the new Transporter, the Multivan, and the ID. Buzz, VWN has completed the Bulli trio. Lars Krause emphasized:
“We have a lot planned for the new year and are better positioned with our portfolio than ever before.”
In addition to highly efficient combustion engines and new electric and hybrid versions, Krause sees the brand well-equipped to face the economically challenging conditions.
