Opel Strengthens Presence in Germany with Continued Growth in 2024

• Almost 175,000 new registrations in Germany – market share of 5.6 per cent
• Light commercial vehicle sales up by 40 per cent

Rüsselsheim.  Opel achieved strong results in Germany last year in a challenging economic environment: According to preliminary internal figures, almost 175,000 cars and light commercial vehicles of the brand with the Blitz were registered over the course of the last 12 months. This represents an increase of 6.4 per cent compared to 2023. The market share increased to 5.6 per cent (2023: 5.3 per cent).

Opel light commercial vehicles were an important driver of growth. With more than 26,000 units of the Combo, Vivaro and Movano sold, the 2023 results were exceeded by an impressive 40 per cent. The market share in the light commercial vehicle segment was up significantly by more than two percentage points to 9.1 per cent. In addition, Opel also increased its passenger car sales last year. According to the Federal Motor Transport Authority (KBA), 147,833 new registrations ensured a passenger car market share of 5.2 per cent (2023: 5.1 per cent).

“We achieved very good results on our important German home market in 2024. This was primarily due to our attractive portfolio of light commercial vehicles and our bestselling Astra. This confirms our course and gives us further tailwind for a confident start to 2025 – with the new Mokka, the new family-friendly Frontera and the Grandland, our new top-of-the-line SUV,” said Patrick Dinger, head of Opel Germany.
