Škoda has set out plans to sell one-in-five of its car online by 2025 as part of its new ‘Next Level – Škoda Strategy 2030’.

Škoda Auto chief executive Thomas Schäfer set out the detail of the plan, which will aim to propel the Czech car brand to be Europe’s fifth best-selling car brand, in a virtual presentation yesterday (June 24) afternoon.

As part of the plan, the Volkswagen Group-owned OEM will launch three new electric vehicles (EV) to be sold alongside its newly-launched Enyaq SUV.

Despite the recent axing of its Citigo small hatchback, it will also aim to strengthen its position in the entry-level segments.

Schäfer said: “With our new Next Level – Škoda Strategy 2030, we are providing specific answers on how we will successfully steer Škoda Auto through the transformation process and ensure that the company will be in an even stronger position in 2030 than it is today.
