Škoda Auto chief: New European emissions norms would mean layoffs

The introduction of Euro 7 standards, which would reduce emission limits for motor vehicles, would have an adverse effect on Škoda Auto, the carmaker’s board member for sales and marketing, Martin Jahn, said on Czech Television on Sunday.

The European Commission-proposed standards would mean Škoda Auto could no longer produce Fabia, Scala or Kamiq cars, Mr. Jahn said. This would mean the closure of one production hall and around 3,000 layoffs, he said.
