The sales record is the result of an attractive model range and our team's great performance. The strong sales figures in the first six months give us confidence for the second half of the year." In Europe, Skoda's sales grew by 7.5 per cent in Western Europe, 8.3 per cent in Central Europe, and 6.5 per cent in Eastern Europe (excluding Russia). In its home market, the Czech Republic, Skoda's recorded a growth of 7.9 per cent in the first half of 2016.
