Click the thumbs up >Aston Martin’s new DBX SUV accounted for more than a quarter of the British carmaker’s 2020 sales as volumes declined by 32% in a COVID-impacted 2020.
The Gaydon-based OEM, which came under new ownership in 2020, sold a total of 4,150 retail vehicles last year across the year, with the DBX accounting for 1,171.
Its wholesale volume declined still further, falling 42% from 5,862 units to 3,394.
The result was a 37.6% dip in revenues to £611.8 million (2019: £980.5m) and an operating loss of £323m, including a £98m of adjusting operating items, largely the impairment of capitalised R&D due to technology and cycle plan changes .

Aston Martin set to display BWT pink on AMR21

BWT’s association with the team now known as Aston Martin will continue, it has been announced.
The Austria-based Best Water Technology company were the main sponsors of Racing Point for the past four seasons, with the cars sporting a distinctive pink livery.
Recent reports suggested that as Racing Point have now become Aston Martin, with Cognizant named as their chief sponsor, BWT would be looking for a different Formula 1 team to join up with.
Now it has been confirmed BWT will retain a connection with the team based at Silverstone – but Aston Martin, who launch their car titled the AMR21 on March 3, will no longer be the ‘pink panthers’.

Ahead of the reveal of the Aston Martin F1 car next week, the team has announced a partnership with Best Water Technology.
BWT’s relationship with the team from Silverstone goes back to 2017, when its famous pink livery first took the world of F1 by storm.
While the look and feel of the new team to be launched on Wednesday 3rd March will be very different, featuring an all-new base colour, today’s news ensures that subtle BWT brand accents, as well as BWT brand logos, will remain a feature of the all-new Aston Martin Cognizant Formula 1 Team livery.
