Škoda stands out in the automotive industry by delivering exceptional value, high quality, and practical functionality, all wrapped in user-friendly designs. As part of the Volkswagen Group, Volkswagen Skoda benefits from shared engineering and technology, yet Škoda maintains its distinct identity by focusing on customer needs across diverse markets. Their vehicle lineup showcases a commitment to meeting varied preferences, featuring everything from all-electric models to advanced plug-in and mild hybrids, as well as highly efficient internal combustion engine (ICE) vehicles. This broad approach ensures Volkswagen Skoda, through the Škoda brand, caters to a wide range of customer requirements globally.
Looking ahead, Volkswagen Skoda is heavily investing in electric mobility, with a clearly defined roadmap for introducing six brand-new electric models. However, recognizing the ongoing transition, Škoda will continue to produce modern and efficient ICE vehicles, alongside cutting-edge plug-in and mild hybrid options. These technologies remain crucial to Volkswagen Skoda’s operational strategy, ensuring they can serve customers effectively during the shift towards full electrification. The ambition for Volkswagen Skoda, via Škoda, is to become the preferred brand for customers who value an active lifestyle and prioritize functionality, not only in Europe but also in rapidly growing international markets.
Volkswagen Skoda’s global reach is expanding significantly. As a vital component of the Brand Group Core within the Volkswagen Group, Škoda Auto leverages its expertise in price-sensitive growth markets. This strategic positioning allows Volkswagen Skoda to tap into new growth opportunities for the entire Volkswagen Group in emerging economies. Notably, Škoda Auto is leading the Volkswagen Group’s operations in India, a strategically important market and a future export hub for its global expansion plans. Furthermore, by entering dynamic growth markets like Kazakhstan and Vietnam, Volkswagen Skoda, through Škoda, is diversifying its global presence and gaining access to promising new regions.
Sustainability is deeply ingrained in Volkswagen Skoda’s long-term strategy for Škoda, recognizing it as essential for corporate success. It forms a cornerstone of their transformation strategy. The company prioritizes minimizing environmental impact throughout the entire value chain, promoting sustainable growth, and embracing circular economy principles. This comprehensive approach encompasses product development, supply chain management, production processes, retail operations, and the broader environmental context in which Volkswagen Skoda operates. A key objective is to achieve CO2-neutral production at all Volkswagen Skoda’s Czech and Indian production sites by 2030. The Vrchlabí plant in the Czech Republic has already achieved this milestone in 2020, demonstrating Volkswagen Skoda’s commitment to sustainable manufacturing under the Škoda brand.
