The Audi Group delivered a robust financial performance in fiscal year 2025. Revenue rose to 65.5 billion euros, operating profit amounted to 3.4 billion euros, and the operating margin was 5.1 percent. Net cash flow reached 3.4 billion euros. The company proceeded at pace with the rejuvenation of its portfolio and its structural renewal. Audi’s fully electric models set a delivery record, and the first model from sister brand AUDI, the AUDI E5 Sportback, was released in China. Audi also has big plans for 2026. As well as unveiling more key models – including the Audi A2 e-tron as a new entry-level electric model family and the Audi Q9 as the new flagship SUV – the company continues to tailor its portfolio to the needs of its international customers. And Audi’s Formula 1 debut will be a highlight for all motorsport fans.

The Volkswagen Group’s Brand Group Core (BGC) implemented its strategic goals as planned in 2025 – and reported an operating result of 6.8 billion euros – close to the prior year level despite significant negative special items. Adjusted for additional expenses for restructuring, the diesel issue and U.S. import tariffs, the operating result for 2025 came in at 8.2 billion euros – in line with the set target.

The successful exhibition “ICONIC – A Timeless Journey of Culture, Society and Mobility” at the DRIVE. Volkswagen Group Forum is being expanded with new exhibits and an additional thematic focus. A central motif of mobility history is moving into the spotlight: travel. The new focus highlights the cultural, societal, and personal significance that being on the move holds for people – and how closely these experiences are connected to the development of individual mobility. Since its opening in 2024, more than 1.1 million visitors have experienced the diverse exhibition in the heart of Berlin. The format also continues to generate strong engagement on social media.

Following the successful completion of several months of construction, the Volkswagen Group is expanding its business model to include stationary energy infrastructure. In Salzgitter, the Group’s energy subsidiary Elli has connected the Group’s first large-scale battery storage system to the grid. The facility has an output of approximately 20 megawatts (MW) and a storage capacity of 40 megawatt-hours (MWh). With this project, Elli is formally entering the energy storage and energy trading markets. At the same time, performance tests for trading on the European power exchange EPEX SPOT are underway. The project represents a key pillar of the Group’s e-mobility strategy. The ramp-up of electric mobility requires not only vehicles and batteries, but also a stable, flexible and market-ready energy infrastructure. Further storage projects are already in planning. The energy transition will only succeed if renewable electricity is available when it is needed. Large-scale battery storage systems absorb surplus power during periods of high renewable generation and feed it back into the grid during periods with limited wind and solar output.

Elli Mobility GmbH now provides access to more than 1,000,000 public charging points across 28 European countries. As a subsidiary of the Volkswagen Group, Elli operates one of Europe’s largest interoperable charging networks. Over the past 24 months, the network has expanded by approximately 55 per cent, with particularly strong growth in high-power charging (HPC) infrastructure. With this milestone, Elli reinforces its position as the Volkswagen Group’s central E-Mobility Service Provider (eMSP) and as a key enabler of electric mobility across Europe.

In 2025, the TRATON GROUP was able to limit the decline in sales revenue to 7% despite a 9% decrease in unit sales to 305,500 vehicles (2024: 334,200 vehicles) in a difficult market environment. Sales revenue thus came in at €44.1 billion (2024: €47.5 billion). This was attributable primarily to the decline in unit sales and sales revenue for new vehicles in the TRATON Operations business area, particularly in North America and Brazil. By contrast, the Vehicle Services business reported stable growth. The share of the Vehicle Services business in the sales revenue of TRATON Operations rose from 18 to 21%. TRATON Financial Services increased its sales revenue by 13% year-on-year to €2.2 billion.
