Sales rebound in the third quarter

According to EQS News on October 12, 2026, cumulative unit sales for the first nine months of 2026 reached 230,400 vehicles, 3 percent above the prior-year period. The strongest growth came from International Motors, where third-quarter unit sales increased 48 percent to 19,900 vehicles.

The group also delivered 2,670 all-electric vehicles in the first nine months of 2026, up 29 percent year over year. That increase contrasts with total third-quarter electric deliveries of 770 vehicles, down 6 percent from the comparable period.

What does the sales mix mean?

The figures point to a recovery led by North America rather than a broad-based acceleration across every brand. MAN Truck & Bus unit sales fell 1 percent to 24,500 in the third quarter, while Volkswagen Truck & Bus increased deliveries 5 percent to 12,500.

Analyst caution remains part of the picture. As 4investors reported on October 12, 2026, mwb research retained a Sell view and a EUR 23.00 target, citing structural margin risks and competition in electric commercial vehicles.
