  Police Expand Fleet with Kodiaq, Test Elroq
  

  Over the past three decades , Czech security forces have taken delivery of more than 25,000 Škoda vehicles. Now, hundreds more Kodiaq vehicles are joining them. The first 51 of these were ceremoniously handed over to the Czech Police at the carmaker’s test track in Úhelnice on October 31. The vehicles are equipped with a protective frame, have increased chassis and drivetrain durability, and their interior allows for the transport of detained persons. All-wheel drive is a matter of course. Based on a lease agreement, an Elroq electric car with police stickers and specific features necessary for police patrols, such as warning devices, was also put into service at the beginning of October. Police officers will test how the car handles the load, especially with regard to demanding operating conditions and high mileage. The Czech Police already uses a number of electric cars in the Clean Mobility project, but so far only in civilian versions and mainly for the needs of criminal investigators. The Elroq will be the first electric car to be used directly for police service.

  Škoda IT Day in Wolfsburg

  On 18 September, experts, innovators and information technology enthusiasts from the VW Group gathered at the IT:CITY campus in Wolfsburg to learn about Škoda IT. Interactive presentations highlighted current projects, technological advances and cooperation within the Group. The participants enjoyed a presentation of the New Product Organisation strategy, Lean ERP solutions and more. The event was organised by the Group Competence Centre (Škoda GCC) and also featured presentations by the Azure Competence Centre from the FIO – IT Services department and the Green:Code subsidiary.

  46 crews took part in the Economy Run

  In the traditional competition, which aims to test the fuel efficiency of Škoda cars on the route from Mladá Boleslav to Vrchlabí and back, Jan and Lukáš Ryšavý achieved the lowest fuel consumption and emissions in their Elroq, at 51.08 g of CO2 per km. Other noteworthy results include Lubomír Fiala, who first competed in 1982 with a 110 R car. This year, he and Ondřej Dostál dominated the CNG category, achieving fuel consumption of 2.23 kg of gas per 100 km with their Citigo G-TEC car.

  Strong interest in electrified models played a key role in these results. Škoda delivered 150,700 such vehicles worldwide in the first three quarters, representing nearly a quarter of its European deliveries. The Elroq and Enyaq models ranked third and sixth respectively amongst the most popular electric cars in the region.

  The Czech brand is outpacing the overall automotive market. It recorded higher sales across Western, Central and Eastern Europe – for instance, deliveries increased by more than half in Denmark and by over a fifth in Spain. A particularly notable achievement is reaching second place in Europe for sales to fleet customers (excluding company cars and leased vehicles).

  With the launch of the compact Kylaq model, Škoda significantly strengthened its position in India, where it increased deliveries by 106.1%in the first nine months to reach a record 49,400 vehicles. Interest in Škoda cars also grew substantially in Turkey and Morocco.

• The Fastest Fabia Is Coming

  To mark the anniversary of its founding, Škoda Auto has launched the limited-edition Fabia 130 sports model. The popular hatchback now delivers a symbolic 130 kW of power and several enhancements for an exciting but safe driving experience. It also features distinctive black-painted elements, including the roof and rear spoiler. Read more about the development of the upgraded engine.

  The Fastest Fabia Is Coming 

  To mark the 130th anniversary of its beginnings, Škoda Auto has launched a special limited edition of its popular hatchback.

  130 kW under the hood

  The developers tuned the Fabia 130’s powertrain and increased its output by 20 kW. The sporty experience is enhanced by a lowered chassis, aggressive styling and details, such as smoked wheels, red brake callipers and a dual exhaust tip.

  Topic

  For four generations, the compact and agile Fabia hatchback has been the cornerstone of the Škoda Motorsport team’s exceptional competition specials. The DNA of cars driven by legends such as Colin McRae and Formula 1 stars Michael Schumacher and Sebastian Vettel now enters mass production with the limited anniversary edition Fabia 130. It is based on the Monte Carlo trim line and adds unique features for a true sporting experience.

  The car’s technical specifications immediately impress with a maximum power output of 130 kW, which, like the model name, refers to this year’s anniversary of the car manufacturer. This milestone has been achieved by the 1.5 TSI evo2 four-cylinder petrol engine, which previously featured a maximum power output of 110 kW in the Fabia model. However, the extra 20 kilowatts is just one piece of the puzzle. The engine now has a sharper character and better response to the accelerator pedal, and the maximum torque of 250 Nm is available across a significantly wider range of RPMs, which improves flexibility. The developers have also tuned the seven-speed DSG automatic transmission to match the engine, which now responds even more quickly and draws the driver more into the action. In the Sport mode, for example, it can downshift with double-clutching.

  The Fabia 130 special edition emphasises the driving experience through its increased output and various visual enhancements, adding excitement to our model range.

  Board Member for Sales and Marketing

  The result of these changes is the Fabia 130’s excellent dynamics. At 228 km/h, it is the fastest production Fabia ever. Other features contribute to driving pleasure as well. The chassis, lowered by 15 mm, has two newly adjusted steering characteristics (Normal/Sport), which can be changed in the driving mode selection. Another new feature is the option to activate ASR Sport + ESC sport mode in addition to the standard ASR off function, which allows for greater wheel slip while the ESC system intervenes later. This ensures an exciting but still safe experience. Fabia 130 drivers can thus enjoy the character of the vehicle in different driving modes.

  The car’s sporty character is further emphasised by its appearance. It is complemented primarily by the 18-inch Libra wheels in a smoke finish. The rear of the car is adorned with a black stripe reminiscent of the Fabia Rally2. A dual exhaust tip peeks out from under the diffuser. Bi-LED headlights with black inner frames give the car a sharper look, and each of the four body colours is complemented by a Magic Black roof, which also extends to the pillars, exterior mirrors and other details.

  The fact that this is a special edition is highlighted by the 130 emblems on the front fenders and tailgate. Inside, the Fabia 130 has sport seats with integrated headrests, three-spoke sports steering wheel, and pedals with stainless steel covers. The sporty feel is complemented by black-anodised aluminium door sills and silver decorative elements on the dashboard and door handles. Of course, the car comes with rich standard equipment, which can be further enhanced with the 130 Plus package that includes adaptive cruise control, blind spot monitoring, heated windscreen and more.

• Topic / Fabia-130-engine

  The Engine Is the Main Attraction

  The engineers focused on increasing the engine’s output for the limited-edition Fabia 130. However, they fine-tuned other details as well, so that drivers can enjoy the ride to the fullest.

  Martin Hábovčík from the EPS/1 – Engine Application of Drive – Basic, Driveability participated in the calibration of the increased-power drive.

  Topic

  The 130 kW engine clearly improves the Fabia 130’s dynamics. The 1.5 TSI engine is based on the standard 1.5 TSI evo2 engine with the output of 110 kW; however, the engineers modified it to increase its output to 130 kW. “This engine version is intended exclusively for a limited edition to celebrate the company’s 130th anniversary,” says Martin Hrdlička, Head of the EP – Development Powertrain and Chassis Systems department.

  The engine will be manufactured alongside standard versions on the production line in Mladá Boleslav. “The original 1.5 TSI evo2 engine was developed at Volkswagen, but the development work associated with increasing its power was carried out primarily in Mladá Boleslav,” says Martin Hábovčík, development engineer for engine control calibration at EPS/1 – Application of drive-basic, driveability.

  This is part of a long-term strategy to transfer the development competencies for the EA211 engine series from VW to Škoda Auto.

  In connection with the increased output, the engine designers primarily focused on modifications to the more heavily loaded components. “In some cases, we installed more robust parts, while also optimizing the parameterization of the engine and transmission control unit,” explains M. Hábovčík. The result is also the availability of the maximum torque of 250 Nm across a wider RPM range. To ensure that the behaviour of the seven-speed DSG transmission matches the engine’s dynamic nature, it was tuned for sportier shifting.

  The Fabia 130 model is powered by a 1.5 TSI evo2 engine with increased power output of 130 kW.

  Other smart features

  However, it was not only the engine developers who worked on the Fabia 130. Some of the car’s systems also received new features. In particular, the ESC stability control system was modified. It features two newly added modes. In the first ASR Off mode, traction control for controlled wheel slip is disabled. The other mode, ASR Sport + ESC Sport, allows for greater permissible wheel slip and later ESC intervention, so that the car can, for example, drift slightly.

  If understeer occurs, the system helps to minimise this inherent characteristic. “In the event of an extreme yaw rate increase, ESC still intervenes and prevents loss of control of the car,” adds M. Hábovčík. Interestingly, when the ESC Sport mode is activated, some assistant functions, such as Front Assist, ACC and cruise control, are deactivated. When cruise control or ACC is activated, the ESC system switches back to its standard settings.

  Motorsport heritage

  The Fabia model, whose first generation was launched by the carmaker in 1999, has long been associated with motorsport. That is why it has seen a number of sports editions. These included two RS models – the first generation with a 1.9 TDI engine and the second with a 1.4 TSI engine. The third generation included the limited edition Fabia Edition R5. The Fabia WRC, Fabia S2000, and Fabia Rally2 specials from Škoda Motorsport scored points in rallies. Thanks to a series of victories and titles in WRC2 and ERC, as well as in national and regional competitions, the Fabia rally special became the most successful car in its category. 

• System Migration Is in Full Swing

  All Škoda Auto employees with computer access will soon transition to the New Active Directory (NewAD) environment. This upgrade will enhance data security, unify access and simplify work with cloud services. Thousands of employees have already completed the long-planned system migration. If you haven’t yet, read on to find out how.

  System Migration Is in Full Swing

  Many Škoda Auto users have already successfully transitioned to the new Active Directory (NewAD) environment.

  Digitisation

  We reported on the migration to the new system, which handles all the user logins to computers and determines their access to data, applications and printers in the previous issue of Škoda Mobil. The transition to the New Active Directory (NewAD) environment is essential. It will bring more modern user account management, better integration with Microsoft 365 and greater security. This process is now in full swing, and experience has shown that users can rest assured. Users were informed about the migration via e-mail or Škoda Space, and many of them have already completed it.

  The goal of the migration to NewAD is to unify access, simplify work with cloud services and strengthen data protection within the VW Group.

  Carry out the migration in your team step by step

  If you are still about to start, keep in mind that the migration usually takes up to 15 minutes. In exceptional cases, it may take longer. You can keep working on your computer during this time. We recommend that one or two members of every team perform the process first to verify that the applications work properly. It is also a good idea to back up your local files and favourites. The migration can be performed from a computer connected directly to the corporate network or via Citrix Desktop and Citrix VDI remote access technologies. In November, the migration should be available for work from home as well. Once the migration is complete, a new user profile will be created. You will log in using a slightly modified name in the <DZCxxxx>@skoda.vwgroup.com format. The Y drive will be read-only, while other Microsoft 365 services will remain unchanged.

  2,300

  Number of migrated users as of 24 October.

  Average migration time per user in minutes.

  Behind the scenes of the project

  At first glance, the migration to NewAD may seem like a formal step, but it involves a great deal of work. It was launched at the Group level already in 2016. The migration process development itself took three months to complete and was preceded by an extensive preparatory phase, which included ensuring technical communication between the old and new environments and several rounds of testing. Over 300 IT specialists also participated in group meetings, where important information about the migration was discussed across all the IT departments. Preparations also included detailed instructions and videos to help users complete the process without unnecessary stress.

  AI Can Help With Both Childcare and Exercise

  In cooperation with the FI – Information Technology department, we bring you an overview of trends and interesting facts from the world of artificial intelligence, which is making its way ever more deeply into our lives.

  Create a book for your children

  Google’s Gemini AI model can create a book tailored to your children. The feature is called Storybooks, and it can be found in the Gemini application among the so-called GEM robots. Based on text input, it usually creates a 10-page book, including illustrations that match the plot. You can choose the illustration style: comic, colouring book or 3D effect, among others. The tool can also read the book aloud. You can upload your own photos or drawings to the file, which the AI will use as inspiration. This allows you to explain to your children, for example, how day and night work, what to expect on their first visit to the dentist or what artificial intelligence is.

  Advice on how to exercise properly 

  Smart gyms using AI are becoming increasingly popular in the Czech Republic. They enable effective and individualised training. Sensors monitor your movements, and machines or cameras in the gym measure how you perform the exercises: how many repetitions, your posture, pulling force and so on. AI recognises errors in your technique and recommends how to correct them. Based on your goals (weight loss, muscle strengthening, fitness), it will also draw up a training plan for you. This plan is automatically adjusted according to your results. For example, it increases the load, adds exercises, or recommends rest. You also receive instant feedback during your workout: “Straighten your back more”, “Shorten your squat”, “Increase the weight by 5 kg”. Some systems display animations or videos directly on the screen next to the machine. Numerous applications, including the Czech Fitko.ai, allow you to compete with your friends or track how your body changes over time.

  However, remember that the more information AI uses, the more important it is to protect your personal data.

• Guests from Vietnam discover the Škoda brand

  The carmaker invited Vietnamese journalists and influencers to explore Škoda Auto’s modern development and production, as well as its rich history. In addition to the Mladá Boleslav plant, the guests visited dealerships and attended the Škoda Classic Days event at Loučeň Castle. They also saw Czech landmarks such as Prague Castle, Charles Bridge and the Astronomical Clock.

  Experiences and Insights for Guests from Vietnam

  Prague Castle and other monuments, along with Škoda cars, are undoubtedly among the Czech Republic’s treasures. These were the highlights of the programme for a group of journalists, influencers and other experts who arrived in the Czech Republic in the week of 6–10 October at Škoda Auto’s invitation.

  The Mladá Boleslav–based brand has been establishing itself in the fast-growing Vietnamese market for three years now, and this year, in cooperation with its partner Thanh Cong Group, it began local assembly of the Kushaq and Slavia models. The goal was to introduce the guests to the carmaker’s history, its modern production facilities and Czech cultural heritage. This makes it possible to introduce the Škoda brand to people in Vietnam and build awareness of its products and values.

  The guests were welcomed by the carmaker’s senior management as well. “I believe I’m not being immodest when I say that the Škoda brand is one of the jewels of the Czech Republic and brings pride to its country around the world,” said Martin Jahn, Board Member for Sales and Marketing, at the meeting. He emphasized the exceptionally good cooperation that Škoda Auto has established with Vietnam. It builds on the long-term relationships that the Czech Republic maintains with this country and its people. “We’ve become one of the three best-selling brands in Europe thanks to our diverse range of products that meet our customer needs, thanks to our cutting-edge technology and quality, and thanks to our favourable prices. I believe this will enable us to reach customers in markets like Vietnam,” added Jahn.

  On the first day after their arrival, the Vietnamese delegation met with Board Members Klaus Zellmer (CEO), Andreas Dick (Production and Logistics), Martin Jahn (Sales and Marketing) and Johannes Neft (Technical Development). They held discussions about Škoda Auto, its history, its presence on the Vietnamese market and other topics.

  On the second day, the guests headed to the carmaker’s heart in Mladá Boleslav. They learned about the company’s 130-year history during a tour of the Škoda Museum. In the production facility, they admired the flexibility of the M13 production line, which alternates between electric cars and combustion engine cars. They also visited the M6 line, which enables fully automated production of high-voltage batteries. This was followed by a presentation on Škoda vehicle design in Bezděčín, where concepts for future cars, such as the Vision O and the compact Epiq, were on display.

  The journalists and influencers arrived also at the Loučeň Castle, where the Škoda Classic Days event took place. They could take a ride in historic cars such as the 1939 Superb OHV or even the 1906 Voiturette A. 

  In addition to visiting the factory and seeing Škoda’s production facilities, guests also had the opportunity to explore Prague. They visited attractions such as Charles Bridge, the Old Town Astronomical Clock, and Prague Castle, where they admired St. Vitus, Wenceslas, and Adalbert Cathedral. In addition, the guests enjoyed an attractive view of the capital and its sights from the deck of a boat cruising along the Vltava River.

  No programme would be complete without test drives of Škoda cars. The guests got behind the wheel of the new Enyaq and Elroq electric models and took to the roads around Mladá Boleslav.

  Before flying home, the journalists from Vietnam also visited Prague’s Auto Podbabská dealership, where they learned about the sustainable Green Retail showroom concept and saw Škoda’s sales approach and philosophy in practice.

  From Around the World  

  Škoda Challenge with record participation

  Representatives from 30 markets took part in this year’s international final of the 14th annual Škoda Challenge competition in Vienna. The competitors completed 59 theoretical and practical challenges divided into 10 categories. In addition to the classic disciplines, this year’s competition also offered new features, such as virtual car painting and working with artificial intelligence. These innovations brought new challenges and showed the direction in which the automotive industry is heading. The Škoda Challenge 2025 international finals were not only a competition but also an opportunity to exchange experiences and strengthen global cooperation. 

  After-sales services elevating digitisation

  The VA – After Sales department has taken two steps to expand its digital presence. The first step was the launch of the very first online shop in a foreign market operated directly by the Škoda brand. Since April this year, it has been available to customers in Poland at  eshop.skoda‑auto.com/pl_PL/ , who can now easily purchase original accessories and other products, such as bicycles, realistic car models and clothing. This initiative helps the carmaker to deepen relationships with customers and strengthen brand awareness in the Polish market. In September, Škoda Auto also launched an online shop for the Volkswagen brand in Poland at www.sklep‑vw.pl. The successful debut of both platforms could serve as a model for expansion into other markets.

  Accessories and equipment in one place

  Another milestone in the digital presentation of products and services is Škoda Auto’s new global online after‑sales service catalogue, launched on 15 September. It offers customers worldwide easy access to an extensive portfolio of original Škoda accessories and lifestyle products. Visitors can browse by model, category or keywords and download instructions for many items. The catalogue is available at catalog.skoda‑auto.com/eu/.

• A Great Journey for the Škoda Brand

  The carmaker invited Vietnamese journalists and influencers to explore Škoda Auto’s modern development and production, as well as its rich history. In addition to the Mladá Boleslav plant, the guests visited dealerships and attended the Škoda Classic Days event at Loučeň Castle. They also saw Czech landmarks such as Prague Castle, Charles Bridge and the Astronomical Clock.

  A Great Journey for the Škoda Brand 

  1947 The transformation of the Kvasiny plant from traditional manufacturing to state-of-the-art technologies and extensive expansion.

  The Kvasiny plant was founded in 1934 by František Karel Janeček, son of the Jawa brand founder. Initially, the plant produced the Jawa 700 car bodywork. The Škoda brand’s story began at this plant in 1947, and it got off to a great start. The first car produced there was a version of the Škoda Superb OHV, based on a pre-war design. Between 1947 and 1949, 49 cars were built at the factory in East Bohemia, marking the beginning of a great journey for the brand with the winged arrow on the bonnet. Officially, the Kvasiny plant was nationalised and incorporated into AZNP (Automobilové závody národní podnik – ed.) in 1949.

  In the past, the Kvasiny plant has faced the prospect of becoming just a spare parts factory. Thanks to its precise craftsmanship and a number of turning points, it has stood its ground and is set for major development in the future.

  Over the years, a very active development department began operating there, producing, for example, the Škoda 450 roadster and its successor, the Škoda Felicia, as well as the very popular Octavia Combi and Škoda 110 R Coupé models. The bodies of the highly successful Škoda 200 RS and 130 RS sports cars were manufactured there as well. After the merger with the VW Group, most SUVs (including the Group’s first SUV, the Yeti) and the first-generation flagship Superb (2002) were produced in Kvasiny.

  The plant continues developing to this day: Its automated warehouse for small parts has been put into operation, the carmaker has opened a multifunctional competence and training centre, and its welding shop has been expanded. In 2019, Škoda Auto launched production of its first plug-in hybrid model, the Superb iV, there. Today, the Kvasiny plant produces the Karoq and Kodiaq SUVs, as well as the Octavia. Last year, for example, a total of 248,000 cars rolled off the production lines.

  Škoda Felicia

  Between 1959 and 1964, this model from Kvasiny was one of the most attractive cars in its class. It enjoyed significant commercial success in demanding European and overseas markets but was chronically in short supply in its home country. This model’s chassis were manufactured in Mladá Boleslav, while the bodywork and assembly took place at the Kvasiny plant. However, the production was still manual and piecework, since there was no production line.

  Škoda 110 R 

  The iconic coupé celebrated its exhibition premiere in Brno on 5 September 1970. This timelessly elegant rear-engine sports car was not only a commercial success but also became the basis for the legendary Škoda 180 RS, 200 RS and, above all, the Škoda 130 RS competition and racing models. However, development of the ‘Erko’ began as early as 1966, and the first prototype was completed in Kvasiny in March 1968. Its production, however, lagged significantly behind demand, with only 121 cars produced by the end of 1970. 

  Škoda Superb

  The first modern Superb rolled off its production line at the Kvasiny plant on 1 October 2001, and in the spring of 2002, the comfortable saloon reached its first customers. At that time, Škoda began offering them a lifetime mobility guarantee. The successful era of the first modern generation of the model, marked by several prestigious awards and other achievements, came to an end in 2008. A total of more than 136,000 units were produced. In addition to the Kvasiny plant, they also rolled off their production lines abroad.

  Škoda Yeti

  Škoda Auto unveiled its production version of this model at the Geneva Motor Show on 5 March 2009, and it was already the fifth model series in the range at the time. The public responded positively to the absence of the aggressive design elements characteristic of numerous SUVs. The Yeti model’s series production began at Kvasiny on 12 May 2009.

• 130-years-November-2

  Luxury of the First Republic

  During the First Czechoslovak Republic, the Mladá Boleslav carmaker appealed to a wide range of customers, including the most demanding clientèle, with its impressive fleet of luxury models. These cars were used, for example, by President T.G. Masaryk and the ‘king of shoes’ J.A. Baťa, as well as by members of the business and social elite, including the nobility. The premium cars stood out for their top quality, high driving comfort and advanced design solutions such as rotary slide valves instead of conventional poppet valves, shaft-driven OHC timing and compact V8 engines.

  However, the more affordable inline six-cylinder engines became more widespread. Many of them used the quiet Knight slide valve system, replacing the usual valves. This exclusive American technology placed extraordinary demands on machining precision, which is why the licence was granted only to a limited number of leading global carmakers. Its development culminated in the mid-1920s with the L&K – Škoda 350 (see photo) and 450 models. The rich equipment of the five-litre Type 450 model included a compressor for tyre pressure, powered directly by the vehicle engine. 

  At the turn of the 1920s and 1930s, a modern factory for efficient mass production was built in Mladá Boleslav as part of a generous investment programme. The aim was to make cars more affordable, as the price of luxury models ranged from 100,000 to 200,000 Czechoslovak korunas.

  A leisure buggy

  1972 The growing popularity of autocross in the 1960s coincided with a boom in leisure cars, known as buggies. At the Turin Motor Show in November 1972, a two-seater open buggy called the Škoda Kirby attracted considerable attention. This leisure car was the result of cooperation between Motorest, an Italian importer of Czechoslovak cars, and Autozodiaco, a specialist company from Bologna. Both axles and the engine with transmission were taken from the Škoda 100/110 model series without any major changes. With its kerb weight of just 560 kg, the Kirby could reach speeds of up to 140 km/h and accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h in 12 seconds. In the end, only two prototypes were built.

  Simona Fryčová with former Head of Industrial Engineering Antonín Jirsa.

  Simona Fryčová recalls her time in Kvasiny

  1981–2024 She joined the Kvasiny plant immediately after graduating from high school, and it took her almost 11 years to get to the Industrial Engineering department, where she worked the longest. She remained there until leaving the company last year.

  Simona Fryčová worked in the Industrial Engineering department after the merger with the VW Group. “It was a newly created department with new, previously unused working methods. That was interesting. There, I was responsible for timing individual operations, and I was also in charge of several workshops and the introduction of the 18-shift system,” says S. Fryčová. It was the preparations for the 18-shift system, which was a big novelty at the time, that surprised her the most. “I had heard about the days when people worked six days a week from my grandmother, and suddenly we were dealing with it in Kvasiny. Surprisingly, the entire new system was implemented smoothly in production,” she adds. In Kvasiny, she also experienced the plant’s expansion and the launch of the first-generation Superb. ”Suddenly, new paint and assembly halls were being built behind the fence, where we were basically starting from scratch. We were working on new lines and started using a range of modern technologies,” she continues. S. Fryčová also recalls these changes. “The technology changes exceeded my expectations. More than 40 years have passed, and our manual tools were replaced by electric or automatic ones. Visual inspection was replaced by lasers in some areas, drawing boards by computer programs... and even the cars are different,” adds S. Fryčová.

• Diversity

  International Colleagues Fuel Diversity 

  Today, people from 51 countries around the world work at Škoda Auto. Each of them brings not only their know-how but also their personal stories, experiences and cultural perspectives to the company, thereby enriching everyone. Diversity is therefore not just a slogan but a living part of the corporate culture.

  An international environment is not just about different passport stamps. It is built on the exchange of experiences, willingness to learn from each other and the fact that even small differences among us can be a source of great inspiration.

  As of 31 October 2025, on deployment at Škoda Auto:

  82 

  Foreign colleagues from the VW Group.

  11 

  Nationalities and Group companies represented.

  76 

  Number of partners and children accompanying those colleagues.

  Global mobility as a growth strategy

  Developing internationalisation is a strategic process at Škoda Auto, not only because of expansion into new markets but also with regard to supporting talented people across the VW Group. As part of its so‑called Global Mobility Policy, the carmaker systematically manages the deployment of foreign workers (known as assignees), from their selection and contract signing to the relocation of their families, legal support and cultural integration. “Everyone on assignment brings something unique to the team. They see the world differently, work with different tools and have a different work ethic. When this is combined with our experience, it creates an inspiring mix of ideas and energy,” says Petra Dědková, Expert Coordinator of the STM – Management Care, International Assignments department.

  Internationalisation is not a project with a beginning and an end. It is a journey. And we want everyone to be able to take that journey, regardless of where they come from.

  The heart of a foreign country, the soul of one team

  For many, a work assignment in Mladá Boleslav is a huge step. A new environment, foreign language, different culture – all of this is a challenge for them. That is why the company works to ensure they feel welcome and supported from day one. The STM team takes care of every detail, from securing visas and housing to onboarding, mentoring and family integration. According to surveys, the most appreciated aspects of an assignment abroad are a friendly atmosphere, willingness to help and clear process explanations. “A simple ‘How can we help you?’ makes a huge difference. For someone who’s come from the other side of the world, it can be the most important moment of the entire first week,” says P. Dědková, describing the first steps.

  When your family travels with you

  For many assignees, it is about not only the work experience but a complete lifestyle change. Moving to a new country with your significant other and children requires a great deal of courage and help from the company as well. Therefore, Škoda Auto offers support in finding kindergartens and schools, healthcare and community activities and helps with finding housing and job opportunities for partners. Psychological and intercultural assistance is also available. “When the family feels at ease, you feel good too. And that is the basis for the success of the entire mission,” explains P. Dědková.

  A culture that connects

  The Diversity team from the SX – Transformation department has set itself the goal of ensuring that internationality is not only visible but truly lived as well. “We aim to create spaces where people can connect outside their professional roles, where cultural exchange is encouraged, and where everyone feels that their background and perspective add value to our shared success,” says Karel Kohout, Specialist Diversity at the SX department.

  The Culture Connects series of events, which links experiences from the Czech Republic and abroad, has therefore become part of corporate life. In the past, experiences from Egypt, Spain, India and Mexico were shared. These sessions featured speakers from these countries, as well as the Czech Republic, who have strong personal experience with that country. Such meetings bring not only new insights but also moments of genuine connection. “Culture Connects is a symbol that diversity is not about differences, but about sharing. Each story helps us to better understand both the world around us and ourselves,” adds K. Kohout.

  Support for everyday life

  Škoda Auto’s workforce currently includes people from 51 countries.  The Internationals@Škoda initiative has long supported them, providing a platform for networking, sharing experiences and help in everyday situations so that everyone feels welcome and can bring their whole self to work. We will introduce selected colleagues to you in 2026 on the Škoda Mobil website in the A New Address section.

  Uvedení modelu Slavia doplnila i propagační jízda napříč Vietnamem, kterou se Škoda Auto připojila k oslavám výročí republiky.

  Důležitým prvkem výbavy vozu pro vietnamské zákazníky je kvalitní konektivita.

  Slavia je na trhu k dispozici ve čtyřech barvách – šedá Carbon, bílá Candy, červená Tornado a modrá Lava.

  Studie VISION 7S představuje sedmimístné elektrické SUV s řadou neotřelých řešení.

  V říjnu vyrazil částečně funkční model vozu nejprve do Anglie, k vidění byl v Londýně u Tower Bridge a následně si ho na vlastní kůži vyzkoušeli novináři v Peterborough.

  Následovala také novinářská prezentace studie ve španělském přímořském letovisku Marbella.

  Kola mají průměr 22" a aerodynamické ráfky jsou téměř zcela uzavřené.

  Studie vozu VISION 7S zaujme jak celkovým vzhledem, tak řadou netradičních detailů.

  Interiéru dominuje velká otočná obrazovka s úhlopříčkou 14,6".

  Při ukázce vozu řada novinářů oceňovala jednoduché mechanické ovládání některých základních funkcí.

  Spíše designérskou libůstkou studie je oválný volant. Že by v běžných řadových vozech nahradil klasické kulaté totiž není příliš pravděpodobné.

  Co by to bylo za vůz ŠKODA bez Simply Clever prvků? V případě vozu VISION 7S jde například o magnetické úchyty na mobilní telefon.

  Studie vozu zdůrazňuje přístup ŠKODA AUTO k udržitelnosti. Podlaha a zavazadlový prostor jsou tak celé vyrobeny z materiálu z recyklovaných pneumatik.

  Do školního roku vykročila Nikolka s úsměvem a z prvního dne ve škole měla velkou radost. Přejeme Nikolce a všem dětem mnoho úspěchů i kamarádů.

  Na tento výjimečný den jsme připravili dárky podle indické tradice, kde se první školní den začíná požehnáním bohyně Saraswati. Připravili jsme proto učitelům na počest jejich důležité role malý dárek v podobě rámečku se symbolem této bohyně.

  První velký den v jedné z největších základních škol v České republice byl pro našeho Oskara plný očekávání a nakonec i příjemných překvapení.

  Jéňa Flodrman 

  Syn se strašně těšil do školy, protože školka už prý nebyla pro něho. Uvidíme, s jakým nadšením bude mluvit za pár týdnů...

  Kateřina Paulusová 

  Naše dcera nastoupila do ZŠ v Bělé pod Bezdězem a společníka jí v její velký den dělal i mladší bráška Ondřej. Káťa byla z prvního dne nadšená, a ačkoli Ondra teprve nastupuje do školky, odmítal po ukončení zápisu opustit třídu, kde byla spousta zajímavých věcí.

  Adélka Zbudilová 

  První den bylo velké očekávání – sešla jsem se ve třídě s kamarády ze školky. Byla jsem zvědavá, jaká bude paní učitelka a co nás čeká. Nakonec nám paní učitelka řekla, že dělat chyby je v pořádku, a já se už těšila na další den.

  Ačkoli začal Miloslav běhat až po čtyřicítce, oběhl již celý svět.

  Roku 2011 se v čínské Šanghaji zúčastnil jubilejního 15. ročníku jednoho z nejprestižnějších maratonů na Dálném východě a v roce 2013 se sem vrátil.

  Zažil i specifický maraton na dvou kontinentech. Běžci startovali v Asii a přes Bosporský most doběhli do evropské části Istanbulu.

  O půlmaratonu v indické Púně v roce 2014 se více psalo, z boku do něj narazila posvátná kráva, která se po kolizi povalila na zem.

  V tomtéž roce stihl ještě závod v Japonsku, který běžel s kolegou Pavlem Novotným.

  Závod v Mexiku v roce 2015 vedl v noci kolem lagun s krokodýly…

  ... naopak v Tanzanii běžel s výhledem na Kilimandžáro.

  Zatím poslední závod absolvoval letos v Chile a uzavřel tím pomyslný běžecký kruh napříč všemi kontinenty.

  The Fabia 130 offers a sporty look and features for a more enjoyable driving experience.

  The special edition can be recognized by its black-painted elements and black stripe on the trunk lid.

  The sporty character of the interior is emphasized by the three-spoke steering wheel and a number of decorative elements.

  A characteristic feature of the special edition Fabia 130 are the emblems in several places.

  Other eye-catching features include the twin exhaust tailpipes...

  ... and red brake calipers.

  The Fabia 130 also has a black rear spoiler.

  In addition to the anniversary of the carmaker's beginnings, the car also references the Škoda 130 RS sports special, which is celebrating 50 years since its creation.

  The emblem on the Fabia 130 refers to the color scheme of the historic competition special.

  Škoda Motorsport testuje a nasazuje do soutěžních speciálů různá udržitelná řešení a materiály.

  Jako první náplň dostávají vozy udržitelný motorový olej.

  Velký potenciál mají biokompozitní materiály, jejichž využití Škoda Motorsport zkoumá.

  Díly z biokompozitních materiálů vznikají podobně jako karbonové komponenty a mají dostatečnou pevnost i rozměrovou stálost.

  V soutěžních vozech se mohou uplatnit přírodní materiály různého původu.

  Díky své dostatečné pevnosti a schopnosti snižovat vibrace se osvědčila lněná vlákna.

  Vůz Fabia RS Rally2 dokáže nové materiály a řešení skvěle prověřit.
