Škoda Mobil

Škoda Mobil is the company newspaper for Škoda Auto employees, published monthly and presenting up-to-date information on what is happening at Škoda Auto and the Volkswagen Group. The regular columns focuses on employees, innovations and interesting projects from within the company, current information from Škoda Motorsport and many other topics.

Škoda Weekly

Weekly Thursday newsletter for employees. A summary of the last week‘s main events at Škoda Auto, regional news as well as cultural events.

Skoda Supplements

Škoda Mobil, the employee newspaper of the Mladá Boleslav-based carmaker, includes special supplements that focus on especially important topics from Škoda's perspective. Supplements can be a part of the newspaper, in the same format as the newspaper, inserted, for example, in the form of a flyer, or they can be stand-alone unique magazines in a specific format, such as supplements dedicated to new models, the brand's historical anniversaries, or other important information from the company's environment.

    Thematic
    Celebrations
    Since 2016, the International
    Day of Forests has always
    been linked to aspecific focus
    of celebration.
    2016 Forests and Water
    2017 Forests and Energy
    2018 Forests and Urban
    Sustainability
    2019 Forests and Education
    2020 Forests and Biodiversity
    2021 Forest Restoration
    2022 Forests and Sustainable
    Production and Use
    2023 Forests and Health
    Forests provide many important
    functions, such as cleaning water
    and air, protecting soil against
    erosion and strong winds and
    preserving biodiversity. By binding
    CO₂ from the atmosphere and
    storing it in their biomass and soil,
    they play an indispensable role in
    the global carbon cycle in atime
    of climate change. However, they
    also have apositive eect on our
    health. In addition to being agreat
    place for collecting berries, they
    are asource of medicinal herbs,
    have anoise-dampening eect
    in populated areas and have
    agenerally beneficial eect on
    mental relaxation. Therefore, the
    theme of the 2023 celebrations
    was acombination of Forests
    and Health (see Thematic
    Celebrations).
    Green Future webinar
    This year’sForest Day
    celebrations were celebrated in
    various ways. While some visited
    the nearest forest to clear their
    heads, others picked up litter
    or participated in tree-planting
    activities. Numerous organisations
    focused on education. Škoda Auto
    took the opportunity to organise
    the fifth webinar in the Green
    Future series. Aleš Erber, an
    independent forestry consultant
    and manager of forest estates,
    spoke about the future of Czech
    forestry, wood and timber in the
    age of climate change. In addition
    to discussing the optimal form of
    forests in the Czech Republic, he
    touched on the management of
    linear structures (roads of class
    I-III, railways, power lines), which
    may contain risky greenery, where
    wood has limits, where it can be
    used in industry, and why it should
    become astrategic raw material
    in the Czech Republic. Arecording
    of the webinar can be viewed
    in the Media Centre on Škoda
    Space.
    Day of Forests
    The International Day of Forests, celebrated on 21 March, was dedicated to this
    year’stheme of Forests and Health. Škoda Auto did not lag behind as it organised
    aGreen Future webinar.
    How we save with
    water
    World Water Day is held annually
    on 22March to commemorate the
    importance of water and the need
    for sustainable management of water
    resources. This year‘sevent reminded
    the public of the need to monitor the
    acceleration of changes that pursue the
    necessary steps towards the continued
    availability and sustainability of water
    resources and ecient drinking water
    supply, sanitation and wastewater
    treatment. It was in this spirit that one of
    the joint Škoda Auto and ŠKO-ENERGO
    projects at the Mladá Boleslav plant was
    carried out.
    Industrial water savings
    The main purpose of industrial water
    at both the Mladá Boleslav plant and
    the ŠKO-ENERGO heating plant is to
    refill cooling circuits that remove heat
    from individual stations, resulting in
    some inevitable water evaporation.
    Another important use is the production
    of demi-water (i.e. water for technical
    purposes), which is stripped of dissolved
    substances by using modern membrane
    technology. The paint shops use two-
    thirds of this water, while the remaining
    third is consumed by the power
    generators in the heating plant, with
    an annual consumption of 300,000 m
    3
    .
    However, during the production of demi-
    water, excess operating condensate
    poses aproblem as it is normally recycled
    and re-enters the circulation as asource
    of demi-water.
    Heating plant cooling circuit instead
    of sewage
    The problem arises during hot months
    when the primary source, the Jizera River,
    has ahigh temperature that prevents the
    recycling of excess operating condensate.
    Instead of being recycled, the condensate
    is cooled and discharged. ŠKO-ENERGO
    experts have focused on addressing this
    issue and have redirected the condensate
    flow during regular shutdowns.
    Since last August, it has been flowing to
    anewly designated location instead of
    being discharged directly into the storm
    sewer after cooling without any further
    utilisation. Now, it is used in the cooling
    circuit of the ŠKO-ENERGO heating plant
    during summer months.
    This measure has saved up to 95,000m
    3
    of industrial water per year, which
    represents approximately 5% of the total
    industrial water in the main production
    plant. To put this into perspective, the
    carmaker uses around 1.8 million m
    3
    of
    industrial water per year.
    ŠKO-ENERGO and the carmaker are
    working together on awater recycling
    project at the Kvasiny plant.
    This measure ranked
    second in the Group-wide
    Zero Impact Factory
    competition.
