main factors influencing their work are the resurging

popularity of natural materials, the drive towards deploying modern technology, sustainability and recycling, and the fusion of functionality and sportiness.

JAN KOPECKÝ ADVISES

HOW TO DRIVE SAFELY

IN WINTERTIME

In rain or snow, driving in

winter requires great care.

It can become dangerous at

temperatures around freezing

because the conditions on

the road can change quickly.

In this interview, Czech rally

professional Jan Kopecký,

The firm that started out in

1895 as the SLAVIA bicycle

manufacturer was always

renowned for its clever ideas,

and that is still true to this

day. Three years after its

establishment, it became the

first motorcycle manufacturer

in Austro-Hungarian Empire.

In 1902, the brand fitted

a motorcycle with a V-twin

engine, a world first. In 1907,

LAURIN & KLEMENT became

one of the first carmakers in

the world to produce an eightcylinder engine. Innovations

continued after merging with

Pilsen-based ŠKODA in 1925.

The product portfolio before

WWII featured models such

as the POPULAR, RAPID,

FAVORIT and SUPERB. Postwar era included the first

OCTAVIA or the FELICIA

convertible.

ŠKODA works driver and

the 2018 WRC2 world

champion gives valuable tips

on how drivers can recognise

treacherous road conditions

early on and keep their

ŠKODA under control even in

challenging situations.
