March 20, 2023

Next Level Škoda Strategy 2030

Skoda has an ambitious Next Level Škoda Strategy 2030 in which the company aims to achieve CO2 reductions throughout the production chain. Introductions of new, cleaner models are among them. Skoda hopes to reduce CO2 emissions from its entire fleet by more than 50% by 2030 compared to 2020.

Combustion engines remain important for Skoda

During the transformation phase, internal combustion engine (ICE) vehicles will also play a crucial role for Skoda; the automaker is consistently optimizing its fuel-efficient and modern ICE models. Later in 2023, Skoda will even introduce the new generation of the Superb and Kodiaq. Both models are also available with plug-in hybrid powertrains. An iV plug-in hybrid of the current Superb already exists. For the Kodiaq, such a PHEV powertrain is a first.

Modern Solid

Skoda expects the overall situation to remain challenging in 2023. To further the positive development of the brand, Skoda is introducing the next generation of its successful electric SUV family, with the redesigned Enyaq iV featuring the new so-called Modern Solid design language.

Three new BEVs on the way

As early as 2026, the company will introduce three new BEVs in the small, compact and large segments. The first insights will be presented as early as the second quarter of 2023. The European share of spacious family cars and BEVs will be increased to more than 70% by 2030. To achieve these goals, the automaker is investing €5.6 billion in electrification and another €700 million in digitalization by 2027.

Skoda Kushaq

By the way, Skoda also presented the Kushaq, but that car is not meant for Europe. Sales of the Skoda Kushak will begin in the second half of 2023. It is offered in the ASEAN region and alter also in the Middle East.
