Mr. Kuehl further added, “SkodaAuto focused on aggressive network expansion strategy
across India to boost its sales in this competitive market. Year 2010 happened to be a year of
small cars. An array of cars was launched in hatchback sector but Skoda’s all new Fabia
maintained its niche in the market. Also, Yeti’s launch in November has met with an
exceptional response. Looking ahead, this year we promise that SkodaAuto’s cars will continue to
add more zeal and zest in customers’ lives.”
