Gasgoo.com (Shanghai June 18) - China is already Czech manufacturer Skoda's largest market, Chinese division President Gerrit A. Marx was quoted as saying at the so-called Skoda Day earlier this month. Skoda's executives hope that at least 25 percent of the manufacturer's anticipated 1.5 million vehicles sales in 2018 will be made in China. In order to help Skoda achieve that target, Dr. Marx confirmed that Chinese production of the Rapid compact and Yeti SUV will begin next year, the Guangzhou Daily reported today.
