PRAGUE - Skoda would have to close a plant and ax models if the European Union's Euro 7 emissions scheme is implemented in its current form, a Skoda board member said.
"If (Euro 7) is approved in this shape, it would mean for Skoda Auto to close one plant, because we would stop producing the smaller models -- the Fabia, Scala, Kamiq -- that means 3,000 jobs [would be] hit at least," Martin Jahn, who is head of sales and marketing at Skoda, which is part of Volkswagen Group, said Sunday in a televised debate.
