In an interview for the newspaper Právo,
Klaus Zellmer, CEO of Škoda Auto, revealed
that the car maker plans to produce one
million cars annually within three years, with
the Fabia model remaining in production
until the end of this decade. He further
assured that due to strong demand for cars,
no layos are planned. The transition to
electromobility will take longer than expected
due to current prices, infrastructure, and
customer preferences, which according to
Zellmer, is conrmed by the extension of
CO emission limits by the European Union
by three years. Škoda Auto is focusing on
expanding its oer of electric vehicles and
its expansion into dynamic markets such as
India, Southeast Asia, and the Middle East.
Zellmer emphasized that the key to success
is maintaining cost eciency, exibility, and
competitiveness to ensure the company
remains a leader in the industry.

controlled multi-plate clutch. Both models
are equipped with a seven-speed DSG
transmission and a specic chassis that
