Details of the Demerger
As per the demerger agreement formalized recently, UAB KIA Auto—the dividing company—has successfully transferred its Škoda business line to a newly formed company named Motus auto UAB.

Following the transfer, UAB KIA Auto will continue its operations under its previously established business name.
