Škoda Weekly 37/2024
Invitation to the Škoda Museum:
Škoda Auto Volkswagen India Private Limited (SAVWIPL) has contributed to the government’s ‘Skill India’ initiative through its student car project. This year,
mechatronics students in India created an innovative pickup by merging a Volkswagen Taigun SUV with a Volkswagen Virtus sedan.
The project spanned nine months – through various phases from nalising the vehicle concept, collecting ideas, market analysis, research and development,
procurement, packaging, and nal vehicle testing for market launch. The students designed and D-printed various parts, demonstrating their ability to
use the latest manufacturing techniques to solve engineering challenges. The vehicle was also equipped with specialised accessories such as underbody
protection, studded tyres, ambient lighting, and special roof lights, further enhancing the pickup’s rugged design.

A New Factory for a New Car
October | from :
This year marks the th anniversary of the Škoda
MB’s start of production. Before this iconic

as the ‘new plant’. How complex was this process?
What were the construction challenges? And what
was required before the MB nally reached its rst
customers? The story of the car will be presented by
Lukáš Nachtmann, expert coordinator of the Škoda
Auto Archive. Admission is free.

Computers are now involved in every aspect
of car manufacturing – from the design
and construction of vehicles, monitoring
and managing stock levels and production,
to supply chains, logistics, sales, marketing,
and last but not least, the cars themselves.
Exactly years ago, in the autumn of
, several cabinets containing an IBM
/ mainframe computer arrived in
Mladá Boleslav. This was the rst step for
IT at Škoda Auto and marked the beginning
of the transformation of everything related
to car manufacturing. How has IT at Škoda
Auto changed over the years? Read more in
