Slow transition to electric cars means Škoda will produce some models for longer

Carmaker Škoda Auto will extend the production of its Fabia, Kamiq and Scala models to the end of this decade, the head of the company, Klaus Zellmer, said in an interview with Seznam Zprávy published on Tuesday. The reasons are a slower than expected transition to electric cars at Czechia’s biggest exporter, as well as high demand for those models internationally.

Production of the Kodiaq, Superb and Octavia lines will continue even after 2030, Mr. Zellmer said.
