Total Czech car sales dropped by more than 200,000 to 786,000 vehicles in 2009. Interest in used cars decreased the most, both from abroad and from domestic used-car dealers. However, Czech motor vehicle production rose by 2.85 percent to a record 975,111 units last year, with passenger car production adding 3.2 percent to a record 970,410 units. Czech car makers capitalized on the “cash for clunkers” programs in the EU and on exports to new markets, to China in particular. Despite the global crisis, Czech car maker Skoda Auto achieved record-high sales increasing 1.4 percent to 684,000 units, of which 123,000 went to China. On the Czech market, Skoda Auto saw its sales drop by 2.6 percent to 56,504 units last year. Output at TPCA (Toyota-Peugeot-Citroen) increased by 2.53 percent to 332,500 cars.

Truck output fell by 60 percent to 1,091 units, bus production fell 12 percent to 3,068 units and motorcycle production declined by 65 percent to 542 units.
