Skoda is celebrating the production of its 15-millionth vehicle since the beginning of its partnership with Volkswagen. The two companies have thereby reached another milestone in their shared success story. Last year, the car manufacturer achieved a new sales record with 1,126,500 deliveries.
After a fresh start under the umbrella of Volkswagen Group in 1991, Skoda initially offered one model range and sold 170,000 cars per year. In 2016, the manufacturer achieved a new record figure with 1,126,500 deliveries being made worldwide. After the first five months of this year, the Czech manufacturer is once again on course for record sales, having delivered 480,000 cars so far.
Skoda offers seven model ranges and over 40 model variants including the SUV segment with the introduction of the Kodiaq in February 2017. This is being continued with the Karoq compact SUV, whose production will begin shortly. With a total of 5.6 million cars, the Octavia represents the largest proportion of the 15 million cars that have been produced since the merger with Volkswagen, followed by the small car, Fabia, with four million and the Superb with just over one million. Skoda cars are manufactured at Volkswagen Group plants in China, India, Russia and Slovakia.
