March 11, 2025

In a twist that confounds traditional automotive expectations, Volkswagen, renowned for its cars, has taken a delicious detour. The company reported record-breaking sales of its beloved Currywurst sausages in 2024, even as its core car production faced a slight downturn.

Record-Breaking Numbers

Volkswagen sold an astounding 8,552,000 sausages in 2024 across self-service restaurants and supermarkets, fueled by the popularity of their Currywurst variety.
This figure nearly rivals their automobile sales, mirroring the 9.03 million cars sold, which included brands like Audi, Seat, and Skoda—a decrease of 2.3% from the previous year.

The Volkswagen Original Currywurst has become a cultural icon since its inception in 1973 at the Wolfsburg plant. Interestingly, recent diversification into hot dog sausages has also boosted their numbers significantly.
