Demand in China, Western Europe, boosts Škoda sales

Overall sales by the Czech Republic’s largest automaker Škoda Auto have gone up, in large part due to increased demand in China and Western Europe. Sales on the domestic market dropped by 2.6 percent last year, with sales of around 56,000 vehicles, but rose worldwide largely due to Chinese and western European interest. Worldwide the automaker sold a little over 684,000 units. Škoda’s most popular model remains the Octavia, the carmaker said.
