CORPORATE ARCHIVE AT ŠKODA SPACE
While you can find the traditional corporate archive where Laurin & Klement started producing bikes and
motorcycles, the more convenient option for employees is its online version. Access it by clicking the magnifying
glass icon in the top panel at ŠKODA Space and selecting the „Corporate Archive“ tab. Here you will find
concept art of historical ŠKODAs, archive issues of the Ventil (ŠKODA Mobil predecessor), unique photos and
other documents from the past.
ŠKODA
ACADEMY'S
DIGITAL
EDUCATION
Last year, due to the COVID-19
pandemic, the ŠKODA
Academy moved consistently
to online offerings. Trainees and
students at the company’s
training facility now benefit from
a diverse virtual training
programme that is continuously
being expanded.
IT courses, in particular, are in
high demand, with 4,100 people
enrolled. The company is also
pushing ahead with the
development of its workforce in
the field of electromobility: to
date, more than 16,500
employees have completed
special courses.

NO. OF THE WEEK
750 000
Despite the 39-day production
shutdown, more than 750,000
vehicles rolled off the
production lines at the Mladá
Boleslav and Kvasiny sites.
The OCTAVIA was the frontrunner with 187,000 units
produced. The series
production of the batteryelectric ENYAQ iV began on
the highly innovative assembly
line in Mladá Boleslav, where
we primarily produce the
OCTAVIA. In addition, ŠKODA
employees have also produced
engines, axles, bodies as well as
gearboxes and high-voltage
traction batteries.
The company also launched
numerous innovation projects
to modernise its production
processes last year.

RACING
85 YEARS
AT RALLYE
MONTE
CARLO
120 YEARS AGO,
WE BEGAN OUR
SUCCESSFUL
MOTORSPORT
INVOLVEMENT, WHICH
HAS INCLUDED
NUMEROUS VICTORIES
AT THE FAMOUS
MONTE CARLO RALLY.
Laurin & Klement vehicles
joined the rally classic in
1912, and in 1936 a
model with the winged
arrow was on the start
line for the first time at
the legendary competition – the POPULAR
SPORT roadster finished
in second place in the
under-1.5-litre class. After
WWII, our vehicles initially
earned a name for
themselves in the
under-1300 cm3 class, as
demonstrated by the
OCTAVIA TS hat-trick
between 1961 and 1963.
In the 1990s, the
FAVORIT 136 L
continued this success
story in Monte Carlo with
four class victories in a
row, taking first place
from 1991 to 1994. The
4WD FABIA has been
sensational on the special
stages in the Maritime
Alps above Monaco since
the 2010s: FABIA Rally2
evo also triumphed at
Rallye Monte Carlo 2021.
