Sales of Mercedes-Benz cars were up 13.2 per cent in the year to June as strong demand for the premium brand in China and the United States helped drive growth, parent company Daimler AG said Monday.
Mercedes-Benz sold 113,300 cars worldwide last month, making it the best June performance in its history, Daimler said.
The premium brand's sales in China were up 177 per cent last month to 13,700 cars, U.S. sales were up 20.5 per cent to 18,300, and sales in Japan gained 26.5 per cent compared with June last year to reach 3,400.
There also was strong growth in Brazil, Russia and India: Daimler reported sales increases of more than 70 per cent in all three of the emerging markets. However, sales in Western Europe were down 3.6 per cent at 58,100.
Mercedes-Benz's worldwide sales for the first six months of 2010 were up 15.2 per cent from a year earlier to 556,700 cars. The brand delivered nearly 120 per cent more cars in China for a total of 60,500; in the United States, its sales rose 21.8 per cent to 103,700.
Mercedes-Benz Cars executive Joachim Schmidt said the year-on-year increase in June was the eighth time in a row that sales rose by a double-digit percentage.
“We are also in an excellent position to do well in the months ahead and plan to continue Mercedes-Benz's success with a significant increase in the third quarter,” Mr. Schmidt said in a statement.
