2010 has been a troublesome year for car manufacturers - some have been more than affected

With the strong growth in November, we're on track to achieve our sales forecast of 750,000 sold vehicles this year. That is a more than solid basis for our ambitious growth objectives for the coming years."

As well as impressive sales of new Skoda in Kings Lynn, in the Czech Republic the home market for Skoda, its market share rose to 34.3% last month. In the first eleven months of 2010 Skoda sold 53,400 units in the Czech Republic, compared to 50,800 in 2009. That equated to an annual growth percentage of 5.1%, the high selling models were the Skoda Octavia Combi and Skoda Superb Combi.
