OREANDA-NEWS. December 09, 2015. SKODA has delivered 89,000 vehicles to customers worldwide in November 2015 (November 2014: 90,200 deliveries; down by 1.4 per cent). The car manufacturer saw growth in both Western and Central Europe. The tense overall market situation in Russia, however, slowed SKODA's sales. In China and Eastern Europe (excluding Russia),  SKODA sales reached the same level as in November of the previous year. The new-generation  SKODA models once again received a very positive response from customers. Deliveries of the ?KODA Fabia rose by 44.0 per cent in Europe; the  SKODA Superb achieved an increase of 47.3 per cent.

“ SKODA has performed well in November, in a somewhat difficult market situation,” said Werner Eichhorn,  SKODA Board Member for Sales and Marketing. “Our global deliveries remain at a high level. We are pleased with the continued positive development of our new-generation models. After a successful market launch, the  SKODA Superb has far exceeded our expectations,” continued Eichhorn.
