Traton Group: vehicle sales 2016-2023
From 2016 to 2022, vehicle sales generally increased. Sales grew from 183.6 thousand units in 2016 to 242 thousand units in 2019. In 2020, vehicle sales fell to 190 thousand units, but was followed by a period of significant growth between 2021 and 2023, with 271.6 and 338.2 thousand units sold.
The brief period of decline in total vehicle sales was in the midst of both the COVID-19 pandemic and global semiconductor shortages. It was not only the Traton Group that suffered such losses as the number of cars sold worldwide suffered a decline during that same period.
