Some companies warn that rising staff cases could hinder production.<\/p>\n<p>The Volkswagen Group\u2019s deliveries were up 12 percent in the second half of the year, but the full-year figure was dragged down by a drop of over a fifth in the first half.<\/p>\n<p>Still, it maintained its position as Europe\u2019s top battery-electric vehicle maker and saw a 26 percent rise in all-electric sales globally, boosted by an increase of almost two-thirds in China.<\/p>\n<p>The group plans to make all-electric sales 11 percent of its total in 2023. This is a step toward the 2030 goal to make half of all sales completely electric.<\/p>\n<p><em>By Victoria Waldersee<\/em><\/p>\n<div class=\"author_wrapper\">\n<div class=\"one_author_block round\">\n<div class=\"top_row\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/www.theepochtimes.com\/author-reuters\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/reuters-logo-.jpg\" alt=\"Reuters\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>BERLIN\u2014The Volkswagen Group reported its lowest level of performance sales In 2022, it was more than a decade since the COVID-19 lockdowns of China and the war in Ukraine disrupted supply chains.
