Skoda delivered 913,700 vehicles in the first three-quarters of the year

Skoda delivered 913,700 vehicles to customers worldwide in the first three quarters of 2019.

Deliveries increased significantly in Western Europe (6.8%), Eastern Europe (10.6%) as well as in Russia (7.0%). However, total deliveries are still 2.7% down on last year as a result of the continuing decline in the Chinese car market overall. In the other international markets, Skoda has delivered 719,300 vehicles this year to date, which means that deliveries in these regions are up 4.4% on last year. In September, the company recorded 102,000 deliveries to customers worldwide (7.5%), and the demand for Skoda's SUV models remains high.

Alain Favey, Skoda Auto Board Member for Sales and Marketing, emphasises, "In the first three quarters of the year, we delivered 913,700 vehicles to customers worldwide. Thanks to strong growth in Europe and Russia, we were able to compensate for the current developments in China. With the current launch of our city SUV Kamiq in Europe and the upcoming presentation of the Kamiq GT for the Chinese market in November, we are continuing our product campaign and winning over new customers with our attractive model range."
