ŠKODA UK has announced a successful 2018 for its fleet arm – maintaining a 3.5 per cent market share and increasing its True Fleet registrations to 3.9 per cent, despite a difficult year for the overall fleet sector that fell by 7.3 per cent.
Recently published figures from the SMMT (Society of Motor Manufacturers and Traders), have shown that Å KODA stayed resilient during a turbulent year for the automotive industry. The brand retained its 3.5 per cent fleet market share and remained in the top ten manufacturers for True Fleet.
ŠKODA has made large strides in the True Fleet sector in recent years and increased its market share once again in 2018, to 3.9 per cent. The brand’s all-new SUV offensive has been a key component in securing its growth, with the introduction of the compact Karoq SUV and new variants of the award-winning Kodiaq appealing to business drivers.
Henry Williams, Head of Fleet for Å KODA UK, commented on the results: “There is no doubt that 2018 has been tough for businesses across the UK. To cement our market share during this period but also grow the brand within the competitive True Fleet sector is testament to the quality of our cars and the package we offer to our business partners. We are looking ahead to 2019 with new launches, including the new Scala model and our first PHEV, that will further expand our appeal for fleets.â€
