Skoda has resumed car production in Ukraine

“At the same time, the plant in Solomonov, Ukraine, continues to function as a logistics center, providing humanitarian aid to Ukrainians in cooperation with the UN and the Red Cross. The resumption of production is a positive signal that Ukraine is relentless in its desire to grow and move forward, “said Havlíková.

Eighty SUVs delivered a train to Ukraine last week in the form of a so-called SKD, ie Semi Knocked Down (partial pre-assembly).

The engine, gearbox, front axle, rear axle, wheels, exhaust and, in the case of the 4×4 version, the cardan shaft were dismantled from the finished cars. Together with the body, they were packed on pallets that went to reassembly at the plant in Ukraine.

Skoda has production plants in Russia. In Ukraine, it has an assembly plant in Solomonov, where cars for the Czech carmaker are assembled by the Ukrainian company Eurocar, which stopped producing cars after the beginning of the Russian invasion.

The damage due to the invasion also disrupted all activities in Russia. It discontinued production at its Russian plants in Kaluga and Nizhny Novgorod and stopped exporting cars to the country.
