Doğuş Otomotiv signs letter of intent for Škoda sales in Iraq
Doğuş Otomotiv plans to handle Škoda sales and service in Iraq after signing a letter of intent with Škoda Auto A.S. The Turkish company already works with Škoda in Türkiye and says it wants to extend that partnership.
The letter starts talks on a final agreement, which would set the terms for selling Škoda passenger cars and providing after-sales services in Iraq.
The companies have not signed that agreement, and no launch date, investment amount or network size has been announced.
The plan would expand the Volkswagen Group’s presence in Iraq through a local sales and service partner.
Doğuş Otomotiv has also announced distribution plans involving Volkswagen and Škoda in Iraq, Azerbaijan and Syria.
The next step is to agree the final terms, while the companies have not said when the Iraqi operation might begin.
