Škoda Auto delivered 555,700 vehicles worldwide in the first half of 2026, up 9.1% year on year, and stayed Europe’s second-best-selling car brand. Battery-electric sales jumped 48.3% to a record 108,200 units, while revenue climbed to €16.0 billion. The company says more than one in four of its European buyers now choose an electrified model.

Škoda Auto has reported one of its strongest first halves to date, combining rising deliveries with record demand for its electric cars. The Czech carmaker delivered 555,700 vehicles worldwide between January and June 2026, a 9.1% increase on the same period last year, and held onto its position as the second-best-selling brand in Europe (the EU27 plus four additional markets) — the ranking it also held after the first quarter.

Electric demand drives the numbers

The standout figure is electric growth. Deliveries of the all-electric Elroq and Enyaq rose 48.3% year on year to a record 108,200 vehicles, which the company says makes Škoda the fourth-best-selling battery-electric (BEV) brand in Europe. Plug-in hybrid deliveries also grew, up 11.8% to 24,100 vehicles. Taken together, the manufacturer says more than one in four of its European customers now opts for an electrified model.

Škoda expects that share to keep climbing. The recently introduced all-electric Epiq SUV crossover and the seven-seater Peaq flagship double the brand’s electric line-up, and the company reports more than 30,000 orders across the two models.

Solid financial performance

The commercial results tracked the delivery growth. Revenue rose 6.3% to €16.0 billion, while operating profit also increased 6.3% to €1.4 billion. Return on sales held at 8.5%, and net cash flow grew 14.3% to €1.7 billion. According to the manufacturer, the figures were underpinned by higher sales volumes and strict cost discipline.

Beyond Europe, Škoda continued to expand internationally. Deliveries in India rose 7.4% to 35,700 vehicles, one of the brand’s key growth markets outside its home region.

What it means

Holding second place in Europe puts Škoda ahead of many larger-badged rivals, and its rise to fourth among BEV brands signals that the Elroq and Enyaq are finding a steady audience as the market shifts. With the Epiq and Peaq still ramping up their order books, the second half of the year will show whether the momentum in electrified sales can be sustained.
