Skoda donates to COVID-19 relief effort in India

In response to the serious humanitarian situation in India caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, Skoda Auto is planning an aid package in cooperation with the Volkswagen Group consisting of in-kind and financial donations totalling $1.62million.

In doing so, the Czech car manufacturer is taking responsibility as a regional employer and for the members of the Skoda family at this difficult time.

The support will consist of medical supplies and a monetary donation to the German Red Cross. This is intended to meet as many different aid needs as possible in the crisis region. Skoda Auto is also procuring medical equipment and materials such as oxygen generators and liquid oxygen tanks, which are necessary for inland transport. The Indian Red Cross is expected to handle the distribution locally.
