German automaker BMW Group announced on Tuesday that it has achieved its best-ever June in terms of sales.
A total of 227,849 group vehicles were delivered to customers around the world last month, representing an increase of 9.1 percent year on year, which set a new June sales record.
As a result, the Bavarian company has sold a total of 1,163,139 vehicles since January, up by 5.8 percent than the same period last year, marking its best-ever first half year sales.
In China, the group's biggest market in Asia, a total of 45,300 vehicles were delivered to customers in June, up by 12.8 percent compared to the same month last year.
"With our three premium brands, we've achieved good first half-year growth, with sales in Europe and Asia showing particularly strong results," Ian Robertson, member of the board of management responsible for sales and marketing, said.
"Our focus continues to be on ensuring sustainable, profitable growth in sales and despite headwinds in some markets, our June results confirm that we are achieving just that," he added.
