Škoda to supply cars to Czech police

The German-owned Czech-based car producer Škoda Auto has won a bid to supply new cars to the Czech police force, the police presidium said on Thursday. The other contenders – Germany’s Volkswagen and French Renault – offered higher prices than the winning Škoda which will supply the police with 3,500 new cars for 1.1 billion crowns, or almost 68 million U.S. dollars. The bid also included a contract for 14 service points for the new police vehicles.
