For 2015, the brand has reported true fleet sales growth of 24% year-on-year – nearly double the rate of growth seen in the entire true fleet sector, which increased at 13% year-on-year.

As a result, Skoda now commands 3.1% of the total fleet market.

The brand also signed more corporate customer agreements than ever before, and achieved a record 4,264 retail contract hire sales – up 215% year-on-year.

Henry Williams, head of fleet for Skoda UK, commented: “There is no doubt that 2015 was a great year for Skoda fleet. Award-winning models coupled with a compelling financial offering make Skoda an obvious choice for fleet managers, small businesses and user choosers – and our record sales are testament to that.”
