Last year, passenger car production in the Czech Republic rose by 10.2% to 1.218 million vehicles, despite persistent shortages of semiconductors and other components, the war in Ukraine, and difficulties in production and logistics chains.

According to a press release from the Automotive Industry Association (SAP), more than 92% of the vehicles produced went to foreign markets, meaning that vehicle exports grew by 12% year-on-year. The domestic market accounted for 87,736 vehicles, a decrease of 9.7% from the previous year.

Skoda Auto, Toyota, and Hyundai were among the manufacturers that increased production.
