Skoda Wins Bid To Supply Cars For Czech Police

Skoda has beaten Volkswagen and Renault in the tender for the supply of 3,500 vehicles to the Czech police force from 2008 to 2011. The Czech carmaker won the bid as the 1.1 billion crowns it asked for was significantly lower than VW’s 1.4 billion and Renault’s 2.0 billion crown offerings. According to Skoda’s spokeperson, the deal will be signed this July. It is expected that the Czech police will order 700 vehicles this year.
