ŠKODA UK maintained a 3.5% fleet market share last year and increased its True Fleet registrations to 3.9%, despite an overall fleet sector fall of 7.3%.

The Czech brand has made large strides in the True Fleet sector in recent years and its all-new SUV offensive has been a key component in securing growth. The introduction of the compact Karoq SUV and new variants of the Kodiaq have appealed to business drivers.

Henry Williams, Head of Fleet for Škoda UK, said: “There is no doubt that 2018 has been tough for businesses across the UK. To cement our market share during this period but also grow the brand within the competitive True Fleet sector is testament to the quality of our cars and the package we offer to our business partners.”
