<\/em><\/p>\n“Domestic vehicle production is slowing down at the end of the year in correlation with the decline in vehicle sales in the main European markets. Demand for electric models is also lagging behind expectations. Nevertheless, the good news is that the total expected Czech production volume for the full year is expected to surpass 2023 and thus return to the pre-recession production levels. All the more reason to prevent unintended consequences of strict European regulation on the markets, currently especially the risk of failing to meet ambitious CO2 reduction targets. There is a risk of further reductions in overall sales volumes, production volatility and, last but not least, job losses.”<\/em> says Zden\u011bk Petzl, Executive Director of the Automotive Industry Association.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n <\/p>\n In the first ten months of this year, 1,239,141 passenger vehicles were produced in the Czech Republic, i.e. 6.6% more than in the same period of the previous year. Electric cars produced in the period were 127 222 units and their share in domestic production is 10.3%. A total of 95 657 battery BEVs and 31 565 plug-in hybrids were produced.<\/p>\n \u0160koda Auto, the largest domestic carmaker, produced 763,685 passenger cars (+5.7%) at its domestic plants in January-October. 80,655 electric cars (BEVs and PHEVs) were produced, i.e. 10.6% of the brand’s total production. Of these, 67,787 were battery vehicles and 12,868 were plug-in hybrids.<\/p>\n Hyundai’s Nosovice plant produced a total of 284,250 vehicles from January to October, 2,350 fewer than in the same period last year. Of the total, 27,870 vehicles were pure electric and 18,697 plug-in hybrids. Overall, electric vehicles produced in Nosovice account for 16.4% of the brand’s total domestic production.<\/p>\n In the period under review, 191,206 complete cars rolled off the Toyota Motor Manufacturing production line in Kolin, 37,885 units and 24.7% more vehicles than in the same period last year, which was affected by a series of shutdowns caused by a shortage of certain parts for production. Almost half of production was accounted for by the Yaris HEV hybrid model.<\/p>\n Bus production recorded a slight year-on-year decline, mainly due to the order-driven nature of production. In the first ten months, a total of 3,581 buses were produced in the Czech Republic, i.e. 574 fewer (-13.8%) than in the same period last year. Iveco CR produced 3,259 buses (-16.1%) in Vysok\u00e9 M\u00fdto and another 559 buses in built-up form, which are being completed at its sister plant in Foggia, Italy. The Libchavsky SOR plant recorded a year-on-year higher production result with a total of 294 buses produced, 38 more than in the same period last year (+14.8%). KHMC also recorded a higher production trend with 26 minibuses produced, 12 more than last year (+85.7%). A significant year-on-year increase was recorded in the segment of pure battery buses, of which 73 units were produced in January-October, i.e. 47 electric buses and 180.8% more than last year. 38 of them were produced by Iveco CR and 35 by SOR Libchavy.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Traditional motorcycle manufacturer JAWA Moto reported a year-on-year increase in production.
