Mladá Boleslav, 2 February 2026 – Škoda Auto closed 2025 with a landmark production milestone, building 1,065,000 vehicles worldwide, a 15% increase over the previous year and the brand’s best result in six years. The growth reflects a combination of robust demand for both traditional and electric models, enhanced production flexibility, and the successful expansion of international operations.
Andreas Dick, Škoda Auto Board Member for Production and Logistics, highlighted the achievement: “For the first time in six years, we have exceeded the milestone of 1,000,000 Škoda vehicles produced. This is a tremendous achievement and a testament to the team spirit of our production crew, who work hard to meet the demand for our models. Our international plants, including the new facility in Vietnam and our operations in India, are key to supporting our growth in global markets.”
Strong Performance Across Czech Plants
Škoda’s Mladá Boleslav plant, the brand’s flagship facility, produced 605,600 vehicles (+4.9%), including the Fabia, Scala, Octavia, Kamiq, and the all-electric Enyaq and Elroq models. The plant remains unique within the Volkswagen Group for its ability to produce both internal combustion and electric vehicles on the same production line, enhancing flexibility and responsiveness to market demand. Notably, the all-electric Elroq achieved a production total of 112,500 units since its series launch in January 2025.
Battery production also set records at Mladá Boleslav, with over 329,000 units assembled for Škoda and other Volkswagen Group models. Engine and transmission production remained strong, with more than 513,800 EA 211 petrol engines and 311,300 MQ 200 manual transmissions produced for use across the Group.
At the Kvasiny plant, output reached 301,500 vehicles, including the Octavia, Karoq, and Kodiaq. High demand for the Kodiaq prompted the launch of a second production line, and the one-millionth Škoda of the year—a Kodiaq Sportline—was built here. The plant also contributed to Volkswagen Group production with 40,200 SEAT vehicles.
Vrchlabí continues to be a transmission hub for the brand, producing 721,400 seven-speed DSG (DQ 200) units, over half of which are supplied to other Group brands. In February 2025, the plant marked the production of its six-millionth transmission since opening in 2012.
Growing International Footprint
Škoda’s international operations also recorded strong growth. In Slovakia, the Superb reached an output of 69,500 units, while production in China remained steady at 12,100 vehicles across three plants, including the Octavia, Kamiq, Karoq, Kodiaq, and Superb models. In Ukraine, 1,200 Karoq SUVs were produced from SKD kits.
India continues to play a pivotal role in Škoda’s global strategy, with production more than doubling to 73,800 vehicles in 2025. The new Kylaq SUV has driven strong demand, and local plants also prepare CKD kits for assembly in Vietnam. The newly opened plant in Vietnam, operated with partner Thanh Cong Group, produced 2,500 Slavia and Kushaq vehicles in its first year, strengthening Škoda’s presence in Southeast Asia and the Middle East. In Kazakhstan, 2,800 vehicles were assembled from SKD kits, including Octavia, Superb, Karoq, and Kodiaq models.
Electric Momentum
Škoda’s all-electric models continued to see strong uptake. The compact Elroq reached 112,500 units produced, while the larger Enyaq SUV achieved 77,000 units. Škoda’s Czech battery production is supporting this growth, supplying systems not only for its own EVs but also for other Volkswagen Group electric models.
With production expanding at home and abroad, Škoda Auto demonstrates both operational excellence and strategic foresight, combining flexible manufacturing, global expansion, and a clear push into electrification to secure its strongest year in nearly a decade.
