Rolls-Royce's 2021 sales will hit a 117-year high, and production will be close to saturation

According to foreign media reports, on January 10, Rolls-Royce CEO Müller-tv s said that despite the spread of the global new crown epidemic, Rolls-Royce sales soared 49% in 2021 to 5,586 units, a record high in 117 years due to the surge in global demand for luxury cars.

Müller-tv s said the company hit record sales last year in most regions, including China and the United States. In key markets such as China and the United States, sales of luxury and luxury cars have been growing as travel restrictions have allowed wealthy consumers to have more disposable income. "The COVID-19 pandemic has forced many people to be unable to travel, so we have accumulated a lot of wealth that has been spent on luxury goods, and we have benefited from it."

Müller-tv s also said, "The dilemma facing the entire luxury car industry is not so much about finding customers as it is about producing enough cars to meet the huge demand of customers." Müller-tvs revealed that rolls-royce's Goodwood plant in the UK is approaching saturation, with orders at the plant full until the third quarter of 2022. He also said, "If you order a Rolls-Royce now, expect to receive the goods in about a year." ”

Müller-tv s also said that while chip shortages are worrisome, its parent company BMW "guarantees that we can get all the chips we need to build cars, so we don't have a shortage of problems when it comes to production." ”

Rolls-Royce rival Bentley said last week that its global sales jumped 31 percent in 2021, also setting a new record, due to strong demand for high-end cars.
