ŠKODA said it delivered 88,500 vehicles to customers worldwide in October 2015, down 2.7 per cent from the October 2014; 91,000 deliveries.
According to a statement, despite the performance, this was the second-best October for the brand after the previous year’s record sales month.
ŠKODA posted increases in Central Europe, India and China. ŠKODA’s deliveries were slightly down on the previous year in Western Europe. Against the backdrop of challenging market situations, the brand recorded a decline in sales in Russia and Eastern Europe. ŠKODA’s latest model generations, however, continue to do outstandingly well: In Europe, high growth rates have been achieved with the ŠKODA Fabia (up 44.1%) and the new ŠKODA Superb (up 22.8%).
“ŠKODA has been able to hold its own with an attractive model range in a partly challenging environment in October,” explained Werner Eichhorn, ŠKODA Board Member for Sales and Marketing. “Our new models have been very well received by customers. This is evidenced by the stable development of incoming orders. However, we continue to see tense markets in Russia and Eastern Europe.”
