Skoda’s true fleet sales grew 24% year-on-year, nearly double that of the true fleet sector, which was up 13% in 2015, according to the latest SMMT figures.

This growth means Skoda now has 3.1% of the total fleet market, with the brand securing more corporate customer agreements last year than in previous years and recoding 4,264 retail contract hire sales (up 215% year-on-year).

Last year also saw the launch of the new Superb (see below) and Fabia.

Henry Williams (pictured), head of fleet for Skoda, said: “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.”
