VW Rules Out Bringing Skoda To The US, Diesels Not Returning Either

Volkswagen Group’s CEO Herbert Diess has been quite active lately online, especially on his LinkedIn account. This week, he chose a different platform to get in touch with fans of the German automotive conglomerate. The 63-year-old executive took to Reddit to organize an Ask Me Anything (AMA) session where participants posted an impressive number of inquiries.

One of the burning questions was about Skoda and whether the VW Group has plans to bring the Czech brand to the United States. Sadly, Diess says it's currently not on the agenda because the automaker based in Mladá Boleslav has bigger fish to fry: "For the moment, I don't think that Skoda will come to the US. Currently, we have no plans. Skoda just has taken over group responsibility for India, Russia...and is entering new segments, capacities in manufacturing and R&D are fully booked."
