Volkswagen Group posts positive first-half results despite fewer deliveries

The Volkswagen Group has posted a strong operating result for the first half of 2022, despite a significant drop in vehicle sales and deliveries.

Thanks in part to a positive performance from its premium and sports brands, such as Bentley and Lamborghini, the group recorded an operating result of €13.2 billion (£11.0bn) - a 16.1% increase compared with the first half of 2021.
