Skoda board member for sales and marketing Jurgen Stackmann said that the company managed to continue growing and sell more cars in July despite an economic environment that is increasingly very difficult.
"We have improved Skoda's position further in the first seven months of this year," Stackmann said.
"However, development of demand in many European markets worries us. What we now need to do is stay our course."
