Mercedes Benz sales during the first half of this year have been encouraging.

Mercedes Benz sold 652,924 units globally this year, a 6.9% increase as compared to the similar period in 2011.Mercedes Benz Car Division witnesses highest volume sales in the history of the company. The company sales in Europe and US markets were positive to the extent that despite prevailing market conditions in Southern Europe the company achieved a sales growth of 6.9%. In US markets sales of passenger cars stood at 128,595 units, up 15.9% as compared to a year prior. These figures are what have made Mercedes Benz a premium brand with the highest number of new vehicle registrations in 2012.
