Škoda Group
This Turkish manufacturer is jointly controlled by Škoda Group and Sabanaci Holding and operates in 70 countries with a broad portfolio of urban and intercity buses and coaches. The company has subsidiaries to support sales and provide after-sales services in France, Germany, and the United States. Its production plant in Adana has an annual capacity of 10,000 vehicles. TEMSA is a major local employer with a workforce of more than 1,400 employees. In 2025, it generated revenues of EUR 470 million.
Škoda Group’s development activities span a complete portfolio of mobility technologies – including trains, trams, trolleybuses, electric and hydrogen buses, and metro vehicles. These products are complemented by end-to-end services encompassing maintenance, digital platforms, signalling solutions, and in-house production of advanced electrical components. The group is increasingly focusing on sustainable, next-generation intelligent transport systems designed for data-integrated urban infrastructure and future smart cities.
Škoda’s digital division advanced its work in control, diagnostic, and autonomous technologies. Smart Depot in Tampere moved into full pilot operation, enabling automated tram movements within the depot, supported by digital-twin monitoring and AI-based visual inspections. A major milestone was the certification of Škoda’s proprietary ETCS onboard system.
The year 2025 was a pivotal period marked by the stabilisation of production, streamlined supply chains, and strengthened positions across key markets – the Czech Republic, Slovakia, Germany, Finland, the Baltic states, Bulgaria, Italy, and Poland. Škoda signed new contracts with the private operators Arriva (22 electric trains with a maximum speed of 200 km/h) and RegioJet (34 hybrid battery-diesel trains), confirming its competitiveness in the private-operator market. Škoda’s industry standing was further underscored by its recognition as Manufacturer of the Year in the prestigious Global Light Rail Awards. Škoda reaffirmed its position as a major employer in the industry, ranking third in TOP Employers 2025 and second in Randstad Employer Brand Research 2025 in the Czech Republic.
During the year, Škoda completed delivery of the world’s longest trams for the cities of Mannheim, Ludwigshafen and Heidelberg and delivered more trams to four other German cities. The flagship tram for Prague received approval and entered regular service. Škoda was successful in a tender for new urban commuters for Region Stockholm. The group also secured service contracts, including the overhaul of a train for DB Regio and the modernisation of trams.
In the Balkans, Škoda unveiled a new metro trainset for Sofia and signed a contract for an additional up to 16 trainsets. The first electric train for Bulgaria was introduced just 14 months after the start of production. Škoda signed two contracts for the delivery of the battery trains for Slovakia and Latvia. The group won contracts for battery trolleybuses for Tallinn, as well as trolleybuses for Sofia and Esslingen, and expanded its international footprint through a joint venture with TATA AutoComp Systems in India to produce traction and electrical components for metro, regional, and high-speed rolling stock intended for locally manufactured rail technology in the Indian market.
In 2025, Škoda Group posted revenues of EUR 1.2 billion. As production expanded, the workforce remained steady at around 10,000 employees (including Temsa). During the year, the order backlog surpassed EUR 4 billion, and the group invested EUR 59 million in CAPEX, including R&D.
