FOR ŠKODA AUTO EMPLOYEES

WEEKLY

II

CORRECT USE

OF AIRWAY PROTECTION

WE ARE HONEST

AND SPEAK UP

WHEN SOMETHING

IS WRONG

Dear colleagues,

ŠKODA AUTO and the KOVO Trade Union keep monitoring

and evaluating the latest developments around the

COVID-19 pandemic. To respond to the current situation,

we have adopted a series of adequate health-and-safety

restrictions & measures known as Safe Production and

Safe Office, their objective being to protect the health of our

employees while ensuring smooth, uninterrupted production

and thus making it possible for our Company to continue its

business.

The SO department and our security service contractor

continue performing extensive checks of compliance with the

said measures & restrictions. Some of us, however,

repeatedly breach them. The most common type of breach is

failure to wear a face mask or incorrect use of a face mask in

workplaces and/or other locations within the ŠKODA AUTO

site. A face mask put on and worn correctly is one of the key

measures taken to prevent the spread of COVID-19 in our

Company – see the illustration of correct face mask use

below.Please be advised that non-compliers may face

disciplinary sanctions under the internal Work Rules.

Management-level staff members are obliged to check

compliance with the said measures within their teams, in

order to avoid possible disciplinary sanctions for inaction.

Thank you for your cooperation. It's about our health!

NEW CENTRAL

PILOT HALL

IN OPERATION

ON 20/01/2021 IN MLADÁ BOLESLAV, WE

PUT A NEW CENTRAL PILOT HALL INTO

OPERATION. IN THE DEVELOPMENT

PHASE OF NEW MODELS, COMPREHENSIVE ANALYSES WILL BE CARRIED OUT

HERE AND PRE-PRODUCTION CARS

MANUFACTURED. THEY WILL BE

SUBJECTED TO EXTENSIVE TESTING BY

THE TECHNICAL DEVELOPMENT AND

QUALITY ASSURANCE DEPARTMENTS

PRIOR TO THE LAUNCH OF SERIAL.

The facility houses, among other things, a body

shop and an assembly shop as well as a

measuring centre and a virtual reality studio. It

is also prepared for the era of electromobility,

with charging points and relevant assembly

areas including options for testing electrified

vehicles. Investments made amount to 20.4

million euros. After finishing the new centre for

test vehicles and prototypes, ŠKODA is thus

opening yet another state-of-the-art facility

to work on pre-production models.

WE SOLIDIFIED OUR POSITION

ON THE CZECH MARKET

The expected soft decrease in car sales was accompanied by the negative

influence of the COVID-19 epidemic. This combined caused a minor recession of

the Czech automobile market. Despite that, we managed to increase our market

share to 36,9 % with 74 786 registered vehicles. Electromobility is also on the

rise. The best-selling electric car was unequivocally the CITIGOe eiV with 943 units.

Adding another 741 was the ENYAQ iV, that only launched production at the end

of last year. Therefore, only cars used for presentation and internal use (e.g.

company cars or cars for Technical Development, Quality, etc.) were registered.
