<\/em><\/p>\n“Electrified vehicles are becoming one of the main pillars of production in domestic car factories. Almost a quarter of \u0160koda Auto’s production, half of Hyundai’s production in No\u0161ovice, and all vehicles from Toyota in Kol\u00edn are models with some form of electrified drive. Models manufactured in the Czech Republic are successful not only on the domestic market but also on major European markets. The same trend is confirmed by an almost 54% increase in the production of hybrid buses. The Czech automotive industry is thus clearly demonstrating that it can transform the technological transformation it has set out to achieve into concrete results. On the other hand, even this extraordinary performance cannot meet the overly ambitious requirements of European regulations on fleet CO2 targets. If these are not properly adjusted during the currently open discussions, automotive companies face fines running into billions,”<\/em> says Zden\u011bk Petzl, Executive Director of the Czech Automotive Industry Association.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n <\/p>\n In January, a total of 125,190 passenger cars were manufactured in the Czech Republic, which is 10% more than in the first month of last year.

The category of externally rechargeable vehicles, i.e., pure battery electric vehicles (BEVs) and plug-in hybrid vehicles (PHEVs), numbered 24,950 units and accounted for 20% of production, with a year-on-year increase of 56.7%.<\/p>\n The largest domestic car manufacturer, \u0160koda Auto, produced 85,522 passenger cars (+18.2%) in its domestic plants in the first month. The Mlad\u00e1 Boleslav-based carmaker produced 20,928 externally rechargeable vehicles, i.e., battery electric vehicles (BEVs) and plug-in hybrid vehicles (PHEVs), accounting for 24.5% of the brand’s total domestic production. Of these, 17,955 were purely battery electric vehicles (BEVs) and 2,973 were plug-in hybrid vehicles.<\/p>\n A total of 20,000 vehicles were assembled at Hyundai’s No\u0161ovice plant in January, which is 5.8% less than in the same period last year. Of the total number of vehicles, 2,894 were purely electric, 1,128 were plug-in hybrids, and 6,171 were hybrids.
