Czech automaker Skoda will launch into the realm of electric propulsion at the end of the decade, with the company's chairman confirming a 2019 arrival for a plug-in hybrid (PHEV) variant of the still-fresh Skoda Superb.
Speaking to UK outlet AutoExpress, Skoda chief Bernhard Maier said the Superb plug-in will be the opening salvo in the VW-owned automaker's foray into green motoring.
"We strongly believe that a big number of our customers will be dependent on normal engines as well but the plug-in hybrid solution, starting with the Superb in 2019, is our plan," Maier said.
"We think that the market for [the Superb hybrid] is quite strong and that it's the best way to start... but there will be other models as well."
