Škoda Reaches Milestone with 3 Millionth Fabia Produced at Its Mladá Boleslav Plant

The efficient and environmentally-friendly version of the Fabia was ordered by a customer in Germany.

The popular compact car by the Czech auto manufacturer has been on the market since 1999. Overall, a total of 1,788,063 first generation Škoda Fabias as well as another 1,211,937 second generation Škoda Fabias have been manufactured. That makes the Škoda Fabia one of the most successful models by the Czech manufacturer behind the Škoda Octavia. In 2011 alone, worldwide deliveries of the Fabia to customers increased more than 16 percent to around 267,000 units. Thus, the Fabia represents more than a fourth of the worldwide sales of the brand.

At the present time, the Škoda Fabia is built in the Czech Republic, China, Russia and India and sold in about 103 countries worldwide.

The first Škoda Fabia generation celebrated its premiere in 1999 and was produced for eight years. The second generation of the compact car was first presented at the Geneva Motor Show in 2007. Sales of the vehicle began in April 2007, first as the hatchback version that was later followed by the station wagon. Both body versions were given extensive facelifts in early 2010.
