Škoda sales climbing since June
ŠKODA Group has announced sales revenues of €7.55bn ($6.7bn) in the first six months of the year, with operating profits of €228m.
It achieved these figures despite the 39-day shutdown of the Czech plants and the disruption to the sales channels.
It delivered a total of 426,700 vehicles to customers from January to June, and since then orders have exceeded last year’s level.
CEO Bernhard Maier said: “In response to the current exceptional situation caused by the Covid-19 pandemic, we immediately implemented comprehensive measures to stabilise sales, sales revenue and operating profit. These measures are already proving effective and we will consistently continue along this path in the months ahead.”
