Audi half-year deliveries fall on China competition, US tariffs

Volkswagen and Audi experienced a decline in deliveries during the second quarter. Volkswagen reported an 8.6% drop in deliveries, primarily driven by slumping demand within China. Similarly, Audi saw half-year deliveries fall, attributed to intense competition in the China market and the impact of US tariffs. Both brands are facing significant headwinds in key global regions, reflecting a broader struggle to maintain volume amidst shifting economic conditions and competitive pressures in Asia.
