Škoda Auto delivered a strong performance during the first half of 2026, reporting higher global vehicle deliveries, record electric vehicle sales, and solid financial results while retaining its position as Europe’s second best-selling car brand.
Between January and June 2026, the Czech automaker delivered 555,700 vehicles worldwide, marking a 9.1% year-on-year increase. In Europe (EU27+4), Škoda maintained its second-place ranking among passenger car brands, while also emerging as the fourth best-selling battery electric vehicle (BEV) brand in the region.
Financially, the company posted revenue of €16.0 billion, up 6.3%, while operating profit increased to €1.4 billion, also up 6.3% year-on-year. Škoda maintained a healthy return on sales of 8.5%, and net cash flow rose 14.3% to €1.7 billion, supported by higher sales volumes, disciplined cost management, and synergies within the Volkswagen Group.
Record Electrified Vehicle Deliveries
Growing demand for electrified mobility significantly boosted Škoda’s performance during the period. The company delivered 108,200 battery electric vehicles (BEVs) globally, representing a 48.3% increase over the same period last year. Plug-in hybrid electric vehicle (PHEV) deliveries also climbed 11.8% to 24,100 units, taking total electrified vehicle deliveries to 132,300 units.
Electrified models accounted for 27.7% of Škoda’s total deliveries in Europe, meaning that more than one in four vehicles sold in the region featured an electrified powertrain.
Further strengthening its EV portfolio, Škoda introduced two new all-electric models—the Epiq compact SUV crossover and the Peaq seven-seater flagship SUV. Together, the two models have already received more than 30,000 customer orders, effectively doubling the brand’s all-electric product lineup.
Global Growth Across Key Markets
Škoda continued to expand across several international markets during H1 2026.
Germany remained the brand’s largest market, with 120,400 deliveries, representing a 19.6% year-on-year increase and making Škoda the country’s second best-selling automotive brand. Deliveries also grew in several important markets, including the Czech Republic (48,900; +6.9%), United Kingdom (46,600; +6.6%), India (35,700; +7.4%), and Poland (34,500; +14.2%). Additional growth was recorded in France, Italy, Austria, and Spain.
Elroq and Enyaq Drive EV Success
The Škoda Elroq emerged as one of Europe’s top-performing electric vehicles during the first half of the year, with 59,900 units delivered globally, making it the brand’s fifth best-selling model overall. It ranked as Europe’s third best-selling electric car and secured the top position in Germany and Denmark’s EV markets while featuring among the top three in several other European countries.
The Škoda Enyaq also continued its strong momentum, attracting 48,300 customers worldwide. In Europe, it ranked as the fourth best-selling battery electric vehicle, leading the segment in the Czech Republic and securing top-three positions in markets including Austria, Slovakia, Switzerland, Estonia, and the United Kingdom.
Among conventional models, the Octavia remained Škoda’s best-selling vehicle with 96,500 deliveries, followed by the Kodiaq (74,600 units), Kamiq (65,400 units), and Fabia (61,900 units).
The company attributed its strong first-half performance to sustained customer demand, a growing electrified product portfolio, efficient cost management, and continued investments in innovation, while positioning itself for further growth in both traditional and electric mobility segments.
