THIS IS A GREAT HONOR

FOR OUR NEW “COLLEAGUE”

LAURA AT ŠKODA AUTO.

REPRESENTATIVES OF OUR

COMPANY ACCEPTED

THE SMARTBEST 2019 PRIZE

FOR THE NEW DIGITAL

ASSISTANT IN MAINZ.

Automotive journalists from

31 European countries ranked

ŠKODA’s expanded voice

control system first among

a total of ten finalists. The

jury considers Laura to be the

innovation of 2019 in the area

of driver-AI interaction. During

the yearly award ceremony

of the European AUTOBEST

association, the KAMIQ model

also won the third place in the

main category: Best Buy Car of

Europe for 2020.

THE WINNER OF ZEBRA

WON A KAROQ

NUMBER

OF THE WEEK

130

In 1985, Ladislav Křeček and

Bořivoj Motl together secured

the fourth place in the Belgian rally Boucles de Spa. Their car, the

ŠKODA 130 LR with number 20,

had a fuel tank below the front

hood to achieve a better weight

distribution. The second ŠKODA

vehicle was driven by Svatopluk

Kvaizar and Jiří Janeček, who ended on the eighth place.

ŠKODA AUTO together with Odbory KOVO have long

supported the ZEBRA program (focusing on Improvement),

which allows ŠKODA AUTO employees to actively take

part in the improvement of work conditions, processes,

procedures, quality and maintaining competitive strength.

On 14. January 2020, another winner was selected at

random with the presence of a notary, and on 13 February

the winner accepted his prize at the hall of the Quality Center

of the Kvasiny plant. Other authors of successful proposals

for improvement also received valuable prizes – five tickets to

the ice hockey world championship or five vouchers for

a wellness weekend.

PRIVATE DRIVERS WITH ŠKODA CARS:

SECOND AND FIFTH PLACE

The shortest Swedish rally (13-16 February) of all time, which was reduced to a mere

148.55 km due to the unusually warm weather, featured a close battle. Indeed, the results for

the WRC3 category were only decided on the 21.19 km of the last stage. Emil Lindholm

and Mikael Korhonen, driving their private ŠKODA FABIA Rally2 evo, secured the second place in

the WRC3 category, a mere 5 seconds behind the winner. Oliver Solberg (S) with co-driver

Aaron Johnston (IRL) lost their third position due to a wheel defect when debuting with their

special FABIA Rally2 evo; they ended on the fifth place in the WRC3 category.
