Skoda Auto reports 2.7% drop in deliveries in first nine months

PRAGUE (Reuters) - Skoda Auto's global deliveries dropped 2.7% to 913,700 cars in the first nine months compared with the same period last year, the subsidiary of Germany's Volkswagen (DE:VOWG_p) said on Wednesday.

The carmaker said that the decrease was mainly caused by further decline in China, where deliveries fell by 22.3%. On the other hand, shipments rose in Europe and in Russia, Skoda said.
