Asia stocks climb tracking Wall St rally; Nikkei hits record high, China GDP beats
Investing.com -- BMW reported a 3.5% decline in global vehicle deliveries for the first quarter of 2026 on Tuesday, as the German premium carmaker faced weak demand in China and the United States.
The group sold 565,748 vehicles during the three-month period. Sales of BMW and MINI brands increased 3% in Europe, but the growth failed to offset declines of 4.3% in the United States and 10% in China.
The company’s battery electric vehicle sales fell 20.1% in the first quarter.
BMW joined other major German carmakers reporting falling deliveries in China, including Mercedes, Porsche, Audi and Volkswagen.
