Škoda Auto's sales in May continued growing to reach 65,349 vehicles (+10 % as compared with last year), a new sales record and the best May result in the company's history. The total sales since the beginning of 2010 have thus grown by 16.6 % to 307,427 vehicles. The Chinese market has again contributed a great deal to the overall figures – Škoda sold 14,162 cars in China in May to reach altogether 68,977 vehicles sold over the first five months of this year.

Škoda's sales in the domestic market, the Czech Republic, grew by 20.9 % from January till May 2010, reaching 24,700 vehicles. The brand's sales in United Kingdom and Spain grew by 72 % and 65 %, respectively, in Germany, in the aftermath of the end of the government-subsidised car scrappage scheme, the sales fell by 36 % but Škoda has defended its position as No. 1 importer.

Just like in the previous months, Škoda's worldwide bestseller in May was the Octavia (26,967 vehicles, + 16.7 %). There is also big demand for the Superb (+ 193.3 %; 9,217 vehicles) and the Yeti (+ over 500 %, 4,266 vehicles).

"We have managed to make use of our strong position in Central and Eastern Europe, as well as profit from the company's international profile, primarily in China, India and Russia where we keep growing. With the car scrappage schemes being over, the situation in Europe in 2010 remains a big challenge," said Reinhard Fleger, Škoda Auto BOD Member for Sales and Marketing.
