Škoda Auto reported solid results for the first half of 2026, delivering 555,700 vehicles worldwide between January and June, representing year-on-year growth of 9.1%. The company’s revenue increased to €16 billion, while operating profit reached €1.4 billion. Škoda also retained its position as the second best-selling automotive brand in Europe.

The growth was supported by strong demand across several key export markets. Germany, Škoda Auto’s largest market, recorded a nearly 20% increase in deliveries, reaching a record 120,400 vehicles. The company also reported higher sales in the United Kingdom, Poland, Austria, Italy, France and Spain, reflecting stable demand for its vehicles across Europe.

Electrified vehicles accounted for a growing share of the company’s sales. Deliveries of the all-electric Elroq and Enyaq models rose by 48.3% year-on-year to 108,200 units, while total deliveries of battery-electric and plug-in hybrid vehicles reached 132,300 units. Electrified models represented 27.7% of all Škoda deliveries in Europe during the reporting period, highlighting the growing role of low-emission vehicles in the company’s product mix.

Beyond Europe, Škoda Auto continued to expand its presence in a number of international markets. The company recorded further growth in India, which has become its fourth-largest market, as well as in several North African countries, including Egypt, Tunisia and Morocco. At the same time, the introduction of new electric models, Epiq and Peaq, marks another step in the company's broader transition towards electrification and reflects ongoing efforts to diversify its product portfolio and geographic reach.
