Czech carmaker Skoda is streamlining its car distribution operations in China by discontinuing its imported car distribution business operated by its parent company Volkswagen.
Skoda will have just one local distributor, Shanghai-Volkswagen – a joint venture between Volkswagen and Shanghai Automotive Industry Corporation (SAIC), which also controls Skoda’s local assembly plant in the city of Ningbo, just outside Shanghai.
