PwC confirmed 2026 Czech new car registrations forecast at 250,000-260,000 units (+1% to +5%, 2025: 248,719), based on development to date (Q1: +1.5%). In Q1, there was q/q decrease in market share of both hybrid vehicles (to 24%) and battery electric vehicles (to 5.6%), with this development being caused by increased interest in diesel-powered vehicles, especially thanks to strong model offer of Volkswagen Group, Štefek pointed out. Despite sharp deterioration of international situation (related mainly to war in Iran and Middle East), company still sees demand for 2026 as optimistic

AutoSAP: Car production in Czechia up by 7.7% y/y to 142,346 in March, by 8.3% to 396,880 in Q1 (Škoda+SEAT/Cupra +11.8%, +13.1% to 267,544; Hyundai -8.9%, -6.3% to 67,000; Toyota +12.6%, +6.7% to 62,336).

Despite growing geopolitical uncertainty and weaker start of European markets in first two months, Czech automotive industry managed to maintain stable and strong performance. Historically highest production in first quarter and growth in electrified vehicle segment are positive signals not only for industry but also for entire domestic economy. However, we are closely monitoring impact of conflict in Iran on rising input prices, whether for oil/petroleum, gas, petrochemical products, or logistics. Although production remains stable, these factors are already beginning to affect costs and will thus work against recovery of major European markets that we witnessed in March, Jahn said. Electric car production increased by 19.8% to 28,159 BEVs and PHEVs in March (+20% to 79,192 in Q1), while internal combustion engine car (ICEV) manufacturing by 6.9% to 114,187 units (+5.4% to 317,688)

War in Middle East: International Energy Agency (IEA) set out range of measures that governments, businesses, households can take to alleviate economic impacts on consumers of disruptions to oil markets (shipping through Strait of Hormuz carries 20% of global petroleum consumption). Recommendations for road transport (representing 45% of global oil demand), air travel, cooking, industry are to reduce demand for fossil fuels from oil (diesel, jet fuel, liquefied petroleum gas/LPG) – remote work from home (elimination of commuting), reducie highway/motorway speed limits by at least 10 km/h (decrease in fuel consumption for cars, vans, trucks), encourage public transport (shift from private cars to buses, trains), alternate private car access to roads in large cities on different days (number-plate rotation schemes), increase car sharing and adopt efficient driving practices (higher car occupancy/carpooling, eco-driving), efficient driving for road commercial vehicles and delivery of goods (better driving practices, vehicle maintenance, load optimisation), divert LPG use from transport (shifting bi-fuel, converted vehicles from LPG to gasoline/petrol), avoid air travel (reducing business flights), switch to modern cooking solutions (encouraging electric cooking), leverage flexibility with petrochemical feedstocks (through quick operational improvements). Promoting electric vehicles, hybrids, other fuel-efficient vehicles alongside expanded charging infrastructure can help reduce global reliance on oil. Governments can accelerate adoption through tax incentives, subsidies, low-emission zones and other supportive policies, IEA concluded in report Sheltering From Oil Shocks
