“Over the past few years, Skoda has been very successful and record sales were once again achieved in 2009. A main contributing factor for this market growth is the continued development in areas such as Russia, India and China. With our investments in Kaluga production, dealer network and products we will continue to strengthen our position in the Russian market,” said Reinhard Jung, head of Skoda Auto board of directors.
Skoda Fabia together with Skoda Octavia are participating in the state credit and scrappage incentive programs. The Fabia was Russia’s best seller in 2009. This has allowed Skoda to gain a leading position in Russia’s compact car segment.
“Skoda Fabia is the third model in the Group to be produced in full-cycle including welding, painting and assembly. Our Kaluga factory with its wide model line-up is unique for Volkswagen Group and we intend to increase the number of models in the future. Most importantly, we produce all vehicles in accordance with the highest quality standards,” concluded Dietmar Korzekwa, General Director of Volkswagen Group Rus.
The new Fabia will be available at all official Russian dealerships from early May 2010.
