Škoda Auto production crosses 1.06 million vehicles in 2025, driven by global manufacturing growth

On February 2, Škoda Auto confirmed that its global manufacturing operations delivered a strong performance in 2025, with total vehicle output reaching more than 1,065,000 units. This represented a year-on-year increase of around 15%, highlighting sustained demand and improved production efficiency across the company’s international footprint.
Beyond vehicle assembly, Škoda Auto production 2025 also covered key powertrain and electrification components for the wider VW Group. During the year, the company manufactured approximately 329,000 battery systems for electric and plug-in hybrid vehicles, alongside more than 1,030,000 transmissions and over 500,000 engines, reinforcing its role within the group’s industrial network.

Mladá Boleslav manufacturing performance

The Mladá Boleslav plant remained the backbone of Škoda’s production network in 2025, assembling 605,600 vehicles, an increase of 4.9% compared with the previous year. The facility continued to operate flexible manufacturing lines, producing internal combustion models on the MQB platform and electric vehicles based on the MEB platform in parallel.

Electric vehicle and component output

Following the start of Elroq production in January 2025, the plant manufactured 112,500 units by the end of the year. In addition, it assembled 329,000 battery systems for electric vehicles, supplying both Škoda-branded models and other VW Group brands, underlining its importance in EV supply chains.

Engine and transmission manufacturing

The Mladá Boleslav facility also produced 513,800 EA 211 engines and 311,000 MQ 200 transmissions in 2025. This diversified output supported both internal demand and group-wide requirements, contributing to higher overall capacity utilization.

Output at Kvasiny and Vrchlabí plants

Škoda’s Kvasiny plant produced 301,500 vehicles during 2025. Strong global demand resulted in the expansion of Kodiaq production to a second assembly line, helping the plant respond to rising export requirements. Alongside Škoda models, the site also manufactured 40,200 vehicles for SEAT.
At the Vrchlabí plant, production focused on transmissions, with 721,400 seven-speed DSG automatic units manufactured in 2025. More than half of this output was supplied to other VW Group brands, reflecting the plant’s specialization and integration within group operations.

Production activities outside the Czech Republic

In Slovakia, the Bratislava plant assembled 69,500 units of the Škoda Superb in 2025, produced alongside the VW Passat. This dual-model strategy supported stable output levels and efficient platform utilization.
Škoda Auto production 2025 in India more than doubled to 73,800 vehicles, marking one of the strongest regional growth rates. Indian facilities also manufactured over 85,000 vehicles for other VW Group brands alongside Škoda models, strengthening the region’s role as a manufacturing hub.

Asia and emerging market assembly

In China, Škoda produced 12,100 vehicles in 2025 across its plants in Changsha, Ningbo, and Nanjing, maintaining a focused but steady presence in the market. In Ukraine, 1,200 units of the Karoq SUV were assembled from SKD kits at the Solomonovo facility.
Production activities also expanded in Southeast and Central Asia. In Vietnam, local manufacturing of the Slavia and Kushaq began in 2025, with total output reaching 2,500 units by year-end. Meanwhile, Kazakhstan assembled 2,800 vehicles from SKD kits, supporting regional market demand and localization efforts.
Taken together, Škoda Auto production 2025 reflects a balanced manufacturing strategy combining high-volume European plants with growing international operations. The expansion of vehicle output, electrification components, and powertrain manufacturing positions the company to support future demand across conventional and electric mobility segments while strengthening its contribution to the wider VW Group.
