Brussels, Belgium – July 19th – Toyota Motor Europe’s (TME) (1) first half year sales volume of 563,067 vehicles, reflects a decrease of -6% year-on-year, outperforming the total market which declined by -19%. Across the same period, TME achieved its best ever first half-year market share of 7.6%, a significant increase of +1% point year-on-year. Customer demand for Toyota and Lexus’ low CO2 electrified line-up continued to grow, TME’s total electrified mix increasing +6% points to reach 76% in Western Europe and 68% across total Europe, up +9% points year-on-year.
We are greatly encouraged with a record market share of 7.6% for the first half, given the geopolitical, economic issues and supply chain shortages. We have unprecedented demand for new models such as Yaris Cross, Aygo X and Lexus NX, but also, for our more established products like Yaris, Corolla and C-HR. We are sitting on a six-month order bank which is testament to the product power of our low CO2 electrified line-up.
