Bayerische Motoren Werke AG said Wednesday that it sold more cars in 2021 compared with the previous year, helped by strong growth in its BMW brand and its electric-car offering.

The German auto maker sold a total of 2.5 million vehicles in 2021, up 8.4% from the year before. Sales at the BMW brand rose 9.1% to 2.2 million units, reaching their highest-ever level.

The year-on-year progress was recorded in spite of a decline in the fourth quarter, when group unit sales world-wide fell 14% on year.

The company said sales of fully-electric vehicles more than doubled to 103,855 units, and that it will press on with its electrification push.

"[We] want to continue profitable growth in 2022 and more than double sales of fully-electric vehicles again," said Pieter Nota, member of the BMW board of management.
