Speaking about this milestone, Skoda CEO Prof. Dr. h.c. Winfried Vahland said, “Skoda is doing extremely well. Producing 17 million vehicles since 1905 demonstrates the brand’s strength and sustained success. Since 1991, when Skoda joined forces with Volkswagen, we have manufactured more than 12 million cars. Now, we can definitely say we are established in the ‘Champions League’ of international volume manufacturers. Skoda will continue to grow over the coming years with new models.”
