Demand for range-topping Mercedes-Benz models soared by 30% in 2021, helping to drive a 9% year-on-year increase in revenues for the group as it ramps up investment in the next generation of electric vehicles.
Mercedes-Benz Group (renamed from Daimler Group earlier this month) recorded revenues of €168 billion (£140bn) in 2021, up from €154bn (£129bn) in 2020, with its Mercedes-Maybach, Mercedes-AMG and Mercedes G-Class sub-brands beating sales records across the board.
