If the new Euro-7 environmental standard is adopted, these three popular models will become profitable for production. Some ICE vehicles may be replaced by electric vehicles.
Skoda may stop production of three of its popular car models. Responsible for this is the new environmental standard Euro-7. This is reported on Motor.es.
The environmental requirements of the Euro-7 standard did not satisfy many automakers. Because of them, the production of budget models becomes very expensive.
Skoda unions have already said that the brand may stop producing three models. Two of these are incredibly popular in Europe.
A meeting will be held in Brussels in 2025 to discuss the implementation of the Euro-7 standard. This is where automakers can express their opinions.
Yaroslav Povshik, Chairman of the Skoda Production Council, shared that the Kamiq, Scala and Fabia models can be taken off the assembly line. Therefore, the brand will lose a large share of the profits.
These three models account for an impressive 31% of the manufacturer’s total sales. The new Euro-7 standard will make their production impractical.
Other automakers are facing similar problems. In particular, brands of the Volkswagen AG concern may also lose their budget car models.
