“We managed to continue growing and sell more cars in July despite an economic environment that is increasingly very difficult,” said Jürgen Stackmann, ŠKODA board member for sales and marketing. “We have improved ŠKODA’s position further in the first seven months of this year. However, development of demand in many European markets worries us. What we now need to do is stay our course,” said Stackmann. 

China was the brand’s largest market last month, with sales of the Octavia model especially strong.
