  Biking to Mladá Boleslav

  Per-Inge Björn is a devoted Swedish customer of the ŠKODA brand and, therefore, also ordered the ENYAQ iV electric SUV. While he was waiting for his new car, he decided to visit the place where it is produced while on a summer cycling trip through Europe. He took a ferry to Gdańsk in Poland and, from there, after nine days, he reached Mladá Boleslav, where he toured the ŠKODA Museum, among others. “It was a great experience. And now, I’m looking forward to my new ENYAQ iV even more, which will build on my previous YETI and KODIAQ cars”, says Björn. His journey later took him to Zagreb and Ljubljana.

  kilometres were biked by Per-Inge Björn from Gdańsk to Mladá Boleslav because of his interest in the ŠKODA brand.

  Comics game for young customers

  The brand’s domestic representation has prepared an interactive comics-style game on its ŠKODA Czech Republic Facebook profile. Through the Messenger application, players go on adventures with Václav Laurin and Václav Klement and solve various riddles or puzzles. Whoever reaches the finish line will be entered into a prize draw, which includes a month-long ENYAQ iV car rental. The comics will also be published in printed format and distributed to ŠKODA showrooms. The carmaker is trying to reach young drivers with this campaign.

  
  

  Achievements and trophies

  KODIAQ is the most reliable

  The ŠKODA SUV was the winner of the reliability category in the Driver Power survey carried out by the Autoexpress magazine and Carbuyer website. The cars available on the market were evaluated by British motorists according to their experience and several criteria. In the reliability rating, KODIAQ rated the best by far with 97.19 percent. The KAROQ model ranked sixth. In the overall satisfaction with the car, both Czech SUVs swapped their ranking – the KAROQ placed fifth and the KODIAQ sixth.

  Reducing emissions 

  in sea transport

  The VW Group continues to switch to using liquefied natural gas (LNG) ships when transporting cars by sea. Since 2020, it has used two vessels with this type of drive, and by the end of 2023, it will replace the other four less environmentally friendly diesel ships. Thanks to alternative fuel, it is possible to reduce CO2 emissions for each of the ships by up to 25 percent. The VW Group will use the new LNG fleet on the sea route between Emden, Germany, and Veracruz, Mexico.

  VW will introduce the electric ID.5 GTXVW

  At the Munich Motor Show on 7 September, visitors will see a certain new, elegant and sporty electric SUV coupé for the first time. The VW ID.5 GTX will be on display in the form of a concept that is quite close to the series version. The model, like the ENYAQ iV, is built on the Group’s modular platform for MEB electric cars and features all-wheel drive and two electric motors. According to preliminary data, the electric car will reach a range of up to 497 km. It will go on sale next year.

  ŠKODA AUTO is the official sponsor of the first year of the L’Etape Czech Republic by Tour de France race, which will take place on 28 August in Prague and its vicinity on a track up to 130 km long. The ENYAQ iV director’s car from the Tour de France will also be on display.

• PRODUCTION / FORGE

  Production / Forge

  The Next Step in Automation

  Improvements at Forge, a key site of production

  very machine requires regular service and, in case of wear and tear, overhaul. This stage was reached by the forging press, which the carmaker has been using in its metallurgical plants since 2015 to produce final gear–driven wheels for DQ 200 (Vrchlabí) and MQ 200 (Mladá Boleslav) gearboxes. The so-called final gear is a transmission that includes a differential and transmits torque to the driving axle wheels. Along with the “overhaul”, they also decided at the Forge to modernise the forging technology. Thus, ensuring the transition to forging manipulation between the individual forging operations using robots. 

  New forging line parameters

  Capacity: 4,500 forgings per day 

  Forging temperature: 1,250 °C

  Forging weight: 3.1–5.5 kg

  Although the original forging transfer also represented an automated process, it had several disadvantages compared with robots, which led to the deployment of new technology. The main problem was the long adjustment times at the start of forging of each of the batches and in the long operative adjustment during forging – for every adjustment, the employees had to stop the line and dismantle certain parts of the transfer collets (a machine element used to clamp tools – ed.). The gradual wear of some parts of the transfer then also caused non-standard play in its guide, which negatively affected the accuracy of inserting the forgings into the die cavities (forging moulds – ed.).

  Robotic forging manipulation has produced benefits that significantly increase the forging line productivity throughout the production cycle. For example, the initial adjustment of a new forging batch is accelerated by the possibility to run the entire forging flow using standards (sample pieces – ed.). These are used to verify in detail the settings for the insertion of forgings into the cavities of forging tools, and the Tool Shop used 3D printing to produce them. The new solution also accelerated the operative adjustment of the positioning of forgings in die cavities. It currently takes place via the line control panel where the operator enters the necessary corrections, which are immediately projected into the robot programs. The machine modernisation also contributed to streamlining the care of forging tools, which has a positive impact on their service life, and increased the capacity of the entire forging line. The last renovation innovation is the addition of a forging line rack, in which the forgings cool to the required temperature so that they are not mechanically damaged during subsequent manipulation.

  The Forge produces forgings from materials of two grades, which is why a furnace installed in the line for one of them; this furnace requires a high temperature to transform the internal structure. This part of the forging line saves energy that previously would have been required for processing in standard annealing furnaces because it uses the residual heat of the forging. ED
  

• Green Future

  Green Week Aims for Sustainable Development

  Employees will be introduced to sustainability issues and all the Green Future strategy pillars

  ecarbonisation, energetics, compliance with regulations, biodiversity, water, waste and a circular economy – these are the topics of the so-called goTOzero weeks, to which the VW Group invites its worldwide employees from July to November. The aim of these activities is to share experiences and be inspired across departments via seminars, interviews with experts and panel discussions.

• Component Production

  Component Production

  Automated Handling of Forgings

  The new robotic cell that automates the production of MQ 200 gearbox shafts was created in collaboration with several departments

  roduction and planning departments are constantly looking for ways to streamline production, enable the deployment of new technologies, automate the production process and, thus, contribute to improving work ergonomics and increasing productivity. PKH/1 – Schaft Production MQ 100/200 and PPK-G – Transmission Production Planning jointly came to the conclusion that the most suitable production optimisation solution is the bin picking system, which uses a robot cooperating with a 3D industrial camera.

  The debugging of the bin picking system has continuously contributed to the training of workers who receive the necessary instructions to operate the new equipment.

  In the past, the manipulation with shaft forgings during the feed-in process was very demanding (depending on the type, these parts weighed between 1.7 and 2.3 kg), and it was also necessary to address the operation accuracy and speed. It resulted in a tender entered into by 30 entities and won by the ŠKODA Tool Shop. After all, this department is heavily involved in the modernisation of operations at ŠKODA AUTO plants, and its know-how is used by several Group brands. The new system starts by bringing a pallet with forgings of the gearbox shaft parts onto the robotic line and securing it in a defined position; then, the KUKA handling robot located on the line scans the pallet by using a 3D camera. In this way, the software obtains a virtual image of the forgings and, based on the algorithm, selects the most suitable forging to be removed from the pallet. Simultaneously, it determines the robot’s path for the removal. As soon as the robot removes the forging, the system performs a quick check of the correct grip so that the robot can transfer it to the desired position and then place it on the conveyor. “For this order, we used all the experience from our previous installations of 3D robotic guidance at ŠKODA AUTO, which is already used by the Vrchlabí plant in the component production (see the June 2021 issue of ŠKODA Mobil)”, says Radek Fáborský from PSW-V – Jig manufacture, which was responsible for introducing the innovation.

  The camera that the system uses takes pictures of static scenes with spatial mapping and guides the robot to grab the forging, even if the pallet moves a few centimetres relative to the robot during selection. The control software allows a flexible response to customer requirements and, for example, performs demanding optical guidance of the robot in a very short cycle (almost 23 seconds). “Thanks to the interplay between all the interested ŠKODA AUTO departments during the implementation, we succeeded in debugging the new technology, training the operators on the fly and acquiring the necessary skills for operating the line. All of this enabled the smooth deployment of the new technology in serial production”, says Zdeněk Patočka from PKH/1, adding that the deployment of optically guided robots in the shaft parts production increased not only the automation of the entire production process but also the ergonomics of the operation and its capacity. ED
  

  How bin picking works

  The 3D camera scans a real bin and creates a virtual three-dimensional image of the desired scene in which items are randomly distributed. A robot then picks up the items based on the algorithm, and each of its movements automatically responds to the current situation on the pallet.

  Looking Towards Tomorrow

  Car interiors are affected by the return of natural materials, modern technology, sustainability and recycling

  ustainability is one of ŠKODA AUTO’s priorities and an emphasis of the NEXT LEVEL – ŠKODA STRATEGY 2030. The carmaker is, therefore, intensifying work in this area and looking for innovative and environmentally friendly materials – for example, for its car interiors. To make it clear how important the issue of sustainability is to the carmaker, it held the Sustainable Innovation Workshop on 19 July, where 10 suppliers presented their own sustainability solutions. The event was also attended by Karsten Schnake, Board Member for Purchasing, and Johannes Neft, Board Member for Technical Development. Of course, other ŠKODA AUTO representatives were also present, including from the Design (especially Colour & Trim), Purchasing, Marketing and Quality departments, as well as individual product lines. The suppliers presented the carmaker’s representatives a total of 28 specific innovative solutions focused on the topics of sustainability, ​​circular economy (i.e. closed product life cycle) and nature-friendly production processes. The suppliers presented materials that the carmaker can use (for interior parts, such as seats, dashboards, door panels, steering wheel and other upholstery). 

  The carmaker is trying to get new materials and their modification procedures into its cars; however, in addition to the aesthetic aspect, they must also meet quality and safety conditions.

  Three main directions

  According to Markéta Truhelková from the BI – Purchasing interior department, the workshop resulted in three main directions that the carmaker can take. The first involves vegan leather alternatives. “The goal is to develop an alternative to leather based on biopolymers that are sustainable and recyclable and do not compete with the food industry”, says Truhelková. Biopolymers are intended to replace petroleum-derived binders. The second interesting area is ecological hide tanning (the leather-creating process by which fats are removed from the hide and the leather is softened). “We already have experience with this, since in the ENYAQ iV model, we use leather tanned through olive leaf extract”, she describes, adding that the carmaker wants to move this topic even further. For example, tanning hides with coffee bean skins is another alternative. The aim is to minimise the use of chemicals in leather tanning and to process waste, for example, from the food industry. “It is also a return to the roots since, in the past, leather was dyed only in a natural way”, Truhelková adds. Last but not least, ŠKODA AUTO wants to use 100 percent recycled and also recyclable (re-usable) materials. “We want to achieve a closed product life cycle.” An interesting direction that the carmaker is now researching relates to materials with antibacterial or antiviral treatment. ED
  

  
  

  There’s Leather and Then There’s Leather

  n search of a path to sustainability, ŠKODA AUTO is exploring the possibilities of using modern leather materials and various leather alternatives. “There are customers who, because of their beliefs, reject leather as a material of animal origin, and we respect that. Of course, we will be offering them more and more sustainable alternatives”, says Markéta Kalíková, a leather and related materials specialist from EDI/3 – Colour and trim. According to her, it is important to realise that leather itself, as a natural material, is actually in accordance with the sustainability principles. “The leather we use in the automotive industry is basically just a residual material from the meat industry”, she explains. The point is to ensure, above all, ecological leather processing.

  However, there are plenty of alternatives to pure natural leather, some of which the EDI/3 team presented at the recent Innovation Day 2021. Recycled leather, a material that contains essentially 80 percent ground natural leather and 20 percent bio-binders, is available for use. According to Kalíková, it is suitable for less-stressed surfaces. “Among others, it is not suitable for car seats”, she says. However, according to her, the advantage is the possibility to simulate any surface structure with this material. “It is possible to achieve, for example, the effect of snake or alligator skin, various technical surfaces etc.”, adds Kalíková. Another possibility relates to the use of the previously less-used bottom layer of leather, which can be printed in various ways and used to simulate, for example, stitching. ED

• Veteran car races

  Veteran car races

  Sachsen Classic in Mladá Boleslav

  The popular historical cars race took place at ŠKODA AUTO’s home for the first time and led participants through the plant premises

   he FELICIA convertible from 1962, the special 1100 OHC Roadster, two 110 R cars and the model 1100 MBX De Luxe: From 19 to 21 August, this ŠKODA brand fleet took part in the Sachsen Classic 2021 race. The veteran car race that was popular from the 1920s to the 1990s was organised in the spirit of commemorating 120 years of the Mladá Boleslav carmaker’s participation in motorsport, which is why the historical cars were diverted from the Saxon roads and, for the first time in the event’s history, headed during the final stage from Dresden to Mladá Boleslav and back. A special programme was prepared there, including lunch in the Aramark cafeteria at new Paint Shop. In front of Hall M13, where the ENYAQ iV is also produced, there was a photo shoot with the brand’s electric flagship car. At the test site, race participants tested their skills when they had to master the defined route and tasks on it as accurately as possible within the specified time. Before returning to the Saxon capital, the crews stopped at the ŠKODA Museum and drove through downtown Mladá Boleslav. 

  170

  historical cars entered the race.

  685

  kilometres divided into three stages were covered by the drivers. 

  
  

  Journalists and representatives of the carmaker rode in the total of five cars sent to the race by the carmaker. However, there were more ŠKODA cars on the track; some were deployed by the German importer and ŠKODA AUTO Deutschland, and others were driven by private owners. Among the models from the ŠKODA Museum, the 1100 OHC Roadster, which is one of only two produced specimens, offered a unique spectacle. Among the rarities, there is the two-door 1100 MBX De Luxe from 1969, which impresses with the absence of B-pillars in its body. Thanks to this design, the car has an unusually airy interior when the windows are rolled down. ED

  For us, participating in the Sachsen Classic is not only a matter of tradition but also a matter of the heart. Every year, we strive to enrich the starting field with attractive models from our past.

  From Prague to Bratislava and back 

  ŠKODA cars proudly participated in the 1,000 Miles of Czechoslovakia stage race

  n the first half of the 1930s, local motoring enthusiasts adored the famous Italian endurance race, Mille Miglia, so much that they organised three years of the 1,000 Miles of Czechoslovakia race. The crews, including those in ŠKODA cars, drove the route from Prague to Bratislava and back twice in a row without a break. Today, this event is followed by a modern historical car race, which includes models manufactured before 1939. Following last year’s interlude, this year’s event took place in mid-August. With support from the carmaker, the newly renovated RAPID OHV car in a distinctive blue colour, which is part of the ŠKODA Museum’s collection, was introduced to the track and presented to the public for the first time after a thorough renovation.

  As in the 1930s, the race started on Wednesday, 11 August, at the Autoklub ČR building in Opletalova Street in Prague and culminated three days later in the finish in front of the National Technical Museum. The racers crossed the original route only once, and the whole event was divided into three stages, driving on open roads in compliance with the traffic rules. In the end, 102 of the initial 117 cars made it all the way to the finish line. ED

  New FABIA Unveiled in Poland

  Along the Baltic Sea, ŠKODA AUTO prepared a dynamic presentation of its latest generation of compact cars

  or two weeks in August, the charming Polish seaside town of Sopot became the centre of the action for a detailed international presentation of what is already the fourth generation of the extremely successful FABIA model. Hundreds of European journalists, TV reporters, influencers and bloggers got better acquainted with the advantages of a compact car loaded with modern technologies. The setting was a modern design hotel, the restaurant Jastny Dwór and a beach bar, as well as test drives in the area. Participants also enjoyed a boat trip and a tour of Gdańsk.

  2

  weeks of dynamic presentation of the new FABIA in and around Sopot, Poland.

  40

  fourth-generation FABIAs of various specifications were at the event for testing.

  400

  journalists from across Europe took turns at the presentation.

  New proportions, better aerodynamics

  The new FABIA attracts attention with its emotional appearance and new proportions. On the Group’s MQB A0 platform, it has grown to a length of more than 4 metres and offers the crew more space inside the car and in the boot, which is 50 litres larger than in the previous generation. Another great advantage of the model is its aerodynamics. The FABIA features the best air resistance coefficient in its class (cx = 0.28); thus, CO2 emissions per WLTP cycle are reduced by almost 3 g/km. It also features innovative radiator shutters in the lower air intake on the front bumper, which close when the cooling demand is low, thereby further improving aerodynamics. At a constant speed of 120 km/h, fuel savings reach up to 0.2 l / 100 km. As a result, the FABIA emits up to 5 grammes less CO2 per kilometre driven.

  Great potential

  “We will face tough competition in the most affordable segment. I am confident that the new FABIA will succeed. The strengths of the fourth-generation car include its great design and LED headlights, as well as the two-part rear lights, heated steering wheel and windshield, virtual cockpit and other advanced trim known from ŠKODA’s higher-end models. Among the Simply Clever features, I would like to highlight the flexible compartment in the boot side’s wheel arch”, says Project Manager Michal Brejcha from VP1 – Product Marketing Small. ED

  Looking for Solutions

  In addition to her work for ŠKODA AUTO, Milada Vrbová is also chairwoman of the non-profit Klenice Nature Conservation organisation

  ilada Vrbová works in the GO – Governance, Risk & Compliance department, which, among other things, checks existing rules and guidelines. “I’d participated in joint projects with the carmaker long before I started working for it. At that time, I was preparing a cleaning event with my colleagues from the ŠKODA Academy in the Chlum Nature Park, which I think is the most interesting area in the region. A total of 110 people took part in the cleaning event, and there was so much litter that during the morning, we filled two large-capacity containers with 23 tonnes of waste. For organising the event, I won the main prize in the Central Bohemian Region competition called The Region That Has Brightened Up the Most. Maybe thanks to that, I – together with ŠKODA AUTO – organised three more big cleaning events”, says Vrbová.
  

  Without courage and personal responsibility, I would probably give up on many things and not want to deal with them.

  She considers her role in preventing the construction of four apartment buildings in the Štěpánka Park her greatest success in nature protection. “I didn’t expect such a response; the petition went viral, and in one month, it was signed by almost 8,000 residents of Mladá Boleslav”, she says. She is very satisfied with how the employees react to the events she organises. “I organise volunteer activities to help the nature, and I’m pleased when employees change things for the better through their work. It’s clear from their reactions that such activities make them truly happy.”

  However, she would also like to change the carmaker’s thinking as it relates to nature since, for example, there is still huge potential for the amount of greenery on the company’s premises. ED

  Culture Dialogues

  How We Change the Mindset

  The series of online Culture Dialogues, which introduces employees to our target culture at ŠKODA AUTO, continues in September.

  he automotive industry is currently experiencing the most significant changes in its history. In addition to the transition to electromobility, ŠKODA AUTO’s mindset and way of collaboration are changing as well. The basic prerequisites for success include tolerance, open mindedness and a high level of agility. To be successful in this respect and contribute to the fulfilment of its NEXT LEVEL – ŠKODA STRATEGY 2030 objectives, the carmaker launched a series of Culture Dialogues in June as part of its Mindset Change project. It includes six 90-minute online meetings on key topics (see the Culture Dialogue Topics), which take place via the MS Teams application in Czech and English with an interpreter. Interested employees are invited to think together with their colleagues about which aspects, according to them, make their work environment more attractive. The project also serves to create a community of cultural ambassadors among the participants who wish to actively participate in changes at the company. Of the six Culture Dialogues, four have already taken place and will be followed in September by two more dialogues focused on the key themes of “Cleverness” and “People”. ED

  We're going smoke-free at ŠKODA AUTO 
  

  The non-smoking campaign has started

  ŠKODA AUTO has launched a major campaign involving its employees

  ollowing the carmaker’s new policy – that is, to become a modern and non-smoking company – the We're going smoke-free at ŠKODA AUTO campaign was created. Employees are encouraged to participate, as in the case of the FORvaccination campaign. The carmaker addressed those who could inspire others with their stories and experiences in the fight against smoking addiction. The faces of the campaign are Jana Parmová, a medical doctor from SG/1 – Occupational Medicine; Martin Turek, a project designer from PKT/3 – Component Production Technology; Monika Lochmanová, a Paint Shop PFO-L/42 V production operator; Tomáš Parkan, a fire technician from SO/11 – Special care – fire prevention; Jakub Strnad, a project designer from PAP/3 – Project Management PH series Midsize; and management representatives Světlana Nečasová from PKL – Concern Component Logistics/Management, Štěpán Lacina from SP – Human Resources Planning, and Marek Jancák from PF – Car Production. All of them, as well as their colleagues in the FORvaccination campaign on posters and leaflets photographed and produced in August, tell others their stories. In their own way, they explain why ŠKODA AUTO should be a non-smoking company. ED
  

  Everyone has a story about why they support a non-smoking company

  Not smoking leads to less incapacity for work, Jana

  Not smoking will expand employee rest areas by more than 30 percent, Martin

  Not smoking will support a pleasant working environment, Monika

  Not smoking leads to fewer worksite fires, Tomáš

  Not smoking will equalise working hours among all employees, Štěpán

  It makes sense to invest in rather than harm one’s health, Marek

  How are we doing in the Czech Republic?

  Smokers account for 24.9% of the population.

  Some 21.1% of men and 15.2% of women smoke daily.

  At the workplaces of Czech companies, 16.2% of employees are exposed to tobacco smoke.

  A little less than a third (28.7%) of current smokers have tried to quit smoking during the past year (men 27.1%, women 30.9%).

  Do you want to quit? 

  Do you know what will happen to your body after you stop smoking?

  hen you extinguish the last cigarette butt, your body will react almost immediately. Former smokers feel the improvement in the first few days, as well as in the long-term – their physical fitness, taste and smell improve, they have a milder course of diseases, and changes are also visible on their skin and teeth.

  Changes over time by not smoking

  20 minutes

  Your blood pressure and heart rate drop to normal levels; therefore, especially those people with higher blood pressure should stop smoking.

  8 to 12 hours

  Your blood carbon monoxide level drops, and your oxygen level rises to normal.

  2 to 3 days

  Your taste and smell improve, and your breathing deepens again. Fresh non-smokers describe that they enjoy food more and get less breathless when climbing stairs.

  2 to 12 weeks

  Blood circulation and lung function continue to improve, and you notice this when climbing stairs and doing sports. Immunity also improves, especially in connection with respiratory diseases.

  9 months

  The so-called smoker’s cough begins to subside. Sometimes, it actually intensifies in the first few weeks; however, it is a normal process that is associated with body cleansing.

  1 year

  The risk of cardiovascular disease decreases by approximately 30 percent. This applies mainly to a stroke or a heart attack.

  5 years

  The risk of cardiovascular disease decreases by up to 50 percent.

  10 years

  The risk of lung cancer but also of oesophageal, laryngeal and liver cancer is reduced.

  15 years

  The risk of a heart attack and other diseases is the same as for a non-smoker.

  Don’t Miss the Digital Train

  The 365 ACADEMY training programme is not slowing down; on the contrary, it is adding additional courses and webinars

  ince March, thousands of employees have expanded their range of skills not only in the use of Office 365 but also in the world of new shared digital technologies more broadly. Access to the training platform and a lot of practical information on the training and webinars on offer can be found on the Office 365 information page on ŠKODA Space. 

  In September, we will again offer the opportunity to participate in so-called crash courses. “They will include three intensive one-hour workshops where participants will learn the most important things needed for working with Office 365”, explains Martin Horák from SEA/1 – New Media/Language Training. These courses are followed by team workshops where colleagues work together to find their way with new shared work tools that will make it easier for them to cooperate within a team. It is also an opportunity to decide, for example, which repositories will be used for what. Practical workshops also take place every Friday. In total, they are divided into seven thematic areas, one lasting approximately 30 minutes. It introduces, for example, work in MS Teams, document sharing, Outlook 365 and more. “The advantage is that, in addition, to lecturers, there are also IT workers who can provide advice and practical solutions for specific situations”, adds Horák.

  The training also reflects the release of new tools. Recently, for example, this applies to PowerApps, which allows you to quickly create your own applications for business needs. “However, the 365 ACADEMY is not just about Office 365 products but also about expanding general awareness and skills in the digital world; therefore, you can also find videos and other materials focused on productivity, security and more on the 365 ACADEMY portal”, adds Radka Bürger from SEA/1. ED

  Career Map helps you to find your potential

  KODA AUTO offers its employees a wide range of development activities, thanks to which they can keep enriching their professional life. It is important that everyone find the right path, and in this respect, the new Career Map is very useful. As a support tool for employee development, it focuses on providing basic orientation and stimuli for thinking about the next steps in personnel development. It helps to find a suitable career direction and provides stimuli for discussion between the employee and their supervisor. The Career Map will serve both the employees to keep developing and their supervisors to help to identify employees’ potential. Therefore, it can be approached from these two angles. Then, you move within four blocks, which should be browsed step by step. The first focuses on the current situation and expectations, the others on career planning, preparation and further development, and finally, on future plans. In the blocks, you will find worksheets that you can fill out and save or print. These include the Selection of Appropriate Career Direction, Basic Prerequisites for Career Paths and the Development Plan. Among other add-ons, you can use development tips or links to obtain additional information. The use of the Career Map is voluntary, and it is up to you whether and to what extent it will serve you. The SE/1 – Career Management team hopes that the Career Map will benefit and inspire you. ED

  A career is not an escalator. In most cases, it’s an approach in which you systematically and gradually identify the opportunities and possibilities that are available and use them in a targeted manner. The Career Map is great to support this process.

  The Car World is Talking

  Learn about innovations in the automotive industry and get news from the ŠKODA AUTO world through podcasts

  oing to work in the morning and listening to the car speakers or headphones to get up to date on current events in the country and social issues, go into detail on one’s popular sport or just be entertained has recently become an integral part of many people’s lifestyles. All you have to do is listen to your favourite podcasts, for example, via the applications on your mobile phone, so you won’t miss a thing. You can play it at any time and do not have to rely on a specific programme, as is the case with radio broadcasts. The only thing the listener has to do is choose the right length so that, for example, the podcast exactly covers the time of the commute.

  And what is crucial for a podcast? “A quality podcast cannot do without good dramaturgy. It is important to have suitable topics and involve people who can talk about them”, says Martin Ježek from the GKU – Corporate Communications department, which is in charge of digital topics.  
  

  The SIMPLY CLEVER PODCAST strengthens the image of ŠKODA AUTO as the leading technology company in the Czech Republic. At the same time, it represents its partnerships with universities, startups, technology companies and government entities.

  ŠKODA’s podcast sets the standard

  The Mladá Boleslav carmaker has something to offer listeners as well (see ŠKODA AUTO Podcasts). In cooperation with the GKU department, the ŠKODA AUTO DigiLab started creating a professionally prepared programme that brings valuable information to the customers, as well as interesting views from the company’s backstage, including news from the world of innovation. Its SIMPLY CLEVER PODCAST is created in a professionally equipped studio and hosted by experienced radio journalist Vojtěch Koval. Episodes are about 40 minutes long and published every two weeks. For the time being, they are in Czech, but an English-language version is being prepared as well.

  However, the podcasts do not have to be only publicly available through advanced mobile applications. In a convenient way, they internally address the employees, who can be even more involved in the processes at the car factory and get inspired. “We will gladly provide our other colleagues with our know-how of creating podcasts and help them to get started”, says David Beška, who is in charge of the SIMPLY CLEVER PODCAST at the ŠKODA AUTO DigiLab. ED
  

  ŠKODA AUTO Podcasts

  SIMPLY CLEVER PODCAST

  SIMPLY CLEVER PODCAST

  Every two weeks, a new episode about innovations in the car industry and the world is published. Two episodes, of which the second has just been released, are dedicated to the journey by the ENYAQ iV car to Copenhagen and back, during which the author interviewed numerous experts from the electromobility world and collects experience with charging infrastructure and applications. Another episode, entitled “Follow the Vehicle”, will be about technology of automatic car driving in a convoy.

  Where is the podcast? You can find it in your favourite podcast listening apps like Spotify, Google Podcast and others, or at www.skodaautodigilab.com.

  FROM LEADER TO LEADER

  The ŠKODA Academy’s podcast series focuses on leadership and supports the sharing of experiences, knowledge and current topics among the carmaker’s supervisors and managers, but it is accessible to all employees. For example, you can listen to Michael Oeljeklaus, Board Member for Production and Logistics, or, in early September, to Jana Růžičková, Head of SB – Operational HR Care, Digitisation, HR 4.0. Then, there will be a podcast with the Head of the new VO – MEB Agency department, Aleš Tulpa.

  Where are the podcasts? You can find the individual podcasts in the Media Library under the Leadership and Management category.

  Do you have your own tips? Please share them with Martina Ficková from the SE/2 – Competence Development and Management Programmes via e-mail martina.fickova@skoda-auto.cz.

  
  

  CREATE THE FUTURE

  In the latest series of podcasts from the InnoTeam (GSC - Corporate Strategy and Innovation Management), our colleagues from ŠKODA AUTO present their innovative activities and projects, which bring tangible value added to the company. The podcast comes in two versions: an audio version in Czech and a video with English subtitles. In the introductory podcast, Dominika Matarazzo from the GSO/1 – Market and Business Intelligence department presents a project to generate new ideas and opportunities – Innovation Lift. You can also look forward to the next episode with Matěj Galba from BA – General Purchasing.

  Where are the podcasts? You can access the podcast through IdeaSpace in the News section and ŠKODA Space.

  ŠKOFIT Podcasts and Videos

  The ŠKOFIT team helps the carmaker’s employees and their families to maintain a healthy lifestyle and physical and mental well-being. In a series of podcasts and videos, you will find illustrative examples of various fitness exercises, as well as interviews about sports, eating, traveling and life at the carmaker’s factory. The team will soon add its classic podcast for Spotify type services.

  Where are the podcasts? You can watch and listen to the podcasts through the ŠKOFIT YouTube channel.

  Hanka Kryšpínová se se svou fenkou Bejly věnuje zajímavé kynologické disciplíně – pasení.

  Také se zúčastnily tzv. výpasu ovcí. Na 24 hodin dostaly na starosti asi 120 hospodářských zvířat a úkolem bylo spást velkou louku o rozloze 500 x 200 metrů. 

  Pokud se stádo posouvalo směrem, kam nechtěla, vyslala Bejly, aby je opět nahnala na místo, kam potřebovala.

  Během 10 dní se při výpasu prostřídalo několik psovodů a psů. Na konci každý získal certifikát.

  Velkou rekonstrukcí prošel výtah v Lakovně v hale D16.

  V PSZ/3 nově navrhli, vyrobili a sestavili jeho šroubovanou konstrukci.

  Výtah také doplnily nové duplicitní vodicí rolny.

  Opravám v rámci Centrálního technického servisu se nevyhnuly ani manipulátory CBF linky PXL2 v Lisovně M4.

  V hale M1 prošel úpravou zvedací stůl A8, který nově ovládají elektromotory s hřebenovými převody...

  The dynamic presentation took place against the backdrop of Poland’s seaside Tri-City:

  The fourth-generation FABIA was also presented by Head of design Oliver Stefani.

  The journalists saw and tested on their own what the novelty offers.

  Journalists and influencers participated in the event in a few rounds.

  The new FABIA was presented to journalists in an exclusive setting like a jewel.

  One of its advantages are LED headlights, which the participants of the event also saw disassembled.

  Poland offered an attractive setting for the presentation of the car, 
  and it is a successful market for ŠKODA with great potential.

• Sachsen Classic – fotogalerie

  The Sachsen Classic Historic Vehicle Competition visited Mlada Boleslav
  for the first time on Saturday 21 August.

  The route also took the participants directly to the ŠKODA AUTO plant,
  where they took part in a precision driving test.

  The carmaker fielded five unique models - including two examples of the iconic 110 R.

  The special 1100 OHC Roadster attracted a lot of attention.

  The two-seater racing car was built in only two units in 1957.

  Another speciality of the Sachsen Classic was the two-door ŠKODA 1100 MBX De Luxe.

  The small production car is powered by a 1,107 cm3 engine with an power of 38 kW.

  The automaker's line-up was completed by the elegant 1962 FELICIA convertible.

  The environment of the car factory provided an unusual backdrop for the race.

• Formula Student – fotogalerie

  Formula Student Czech Republic se konala od 26. července do 1. srpna na Autodromu Most.

  Vedle týmů z českých vysokých škol (na snímku tým z České zemědělské univerzity) soutěžili zástupci z různých koutů Evropy.

  Soutěž prověřila komplexní schopnosti studentů obstát při vývoji závodního vozu.

  ŠKODA AUTO poskytla českým týmům finanční podporu a zároveň akci využívá při náboru zaměstnanců, doktorandů či trainees.

  Na mosteckém autodromu se prezentoval i tým ŠKODA Motorsport.

• Inovace – fotogalerie

  The carmaker uses environmentally friendly production methods for the car's interior.

  ŠKODA AUTO strives to develop material alternatives that are sustainable, recyclable and do not compete with the food industry.

  The ENYAQ iV, for example, uses leather tanned with olive leaf extract.

  Tanning the skins with coffee bean husks is also being tried...

  ... to take the car company's environmental credentials even further.

  The advantage of recycled leather, for example, is the ability to replicate any surface texture.

  Last but not least, ŠKODA wants to use 100% recycled...

  ... and also recyclable (reusable) materials.

  Výhru není možné alternativně vyplatit v hotovosti ani v jiném plnění. Výhra není soudně vymahatelná. Poskytovatelem výhry je Pořadatel. Pořadatel nenese žádnou odpovědnost za jakákoliv rizika a závazky související s užíváním výhry. Pořadatel si rovněž vyhrazuje právo výměny výhry za výhru, která je odpovídající náhradou.

  V případě, že Výherce výhru nepřevezme osobně ve sjednaném termínu, ztrácí na výhru nárok a výhra propadne, aniž by Výherci vznikl nárok na jakoukoliv kompenzaci ze strany Pořadatele.

  8. Ostatní ustanovení

  Pořadatel neodpovídá za přímé či nepřímé škody v souvislosti s účastí v Soutěži. Nebezpečí škody na výhře přechází na Výherce okamžikem předání výhry Výherci. Pořadatel není odpovědný za jakékoli technické problémy vzniklé při přenosu dat elektronickými prostředky.

  Pořadatel si vyhrazuje právo bez udání důvodu vyloučit Soutěžícího, jehož chování či jednání vykazuje známky nekalého či podvodného jednání. Osoby nesplňující podmínky účasti v Soutěži nebo jednající v rozporu s Pravidly Soutěže nebudou do Soutěže zařazeny. I pokud taková osoba splní některé podmínky pro získání výhry, např. v důsledku nepravdivých informací, které poskytla, nestává se Výhercem a nemá nárok na výhru. Výhra bude v takovém případě předána dalšímu Soutěžícímu v pořadí. Soutěžící bude vyloučen v případě, že Pořadatel zjistí nebo bude mít oprávněné podezření na spáchání podvodného nebo nekalého jednání ze strany některého ze Soutěžících či jiné osoby, která dopomohla danému Soutěžícímu k získání Výhry.

  Pořadatel si vyhrazuje právo i bez uvedení důvodů Dobu soutěže zkrátit, Soutěž přerušit nebo zrušit či změnit její Pravidla, a to i bez udělení výhry a bez poskytnutí náhrad. Pořadatel si rovněž vyhrazuje právo nahradit ohlášenou výhru předmětem podobného typu a odpovídající hodnoty a upravit podmínky předání výhry v případě, že výhra nebude poskytnuta způsobem umožňujícím předání výhry vítězům v souladu s těmito Pravidly.

  Pořadatel má právo konečného rozhodnutí ve všech záležitostech Soutěže včetně rozhodnutí o neudělení výhry v Soutěži a také si vyhrazuje právo konečného posouzení splnění či nesplnění podmínek stanovených pro získání výhry v Soutěži. Výhru nezískají ti Soutěžící, kteří nesplní byť jen okrajově či částečně stanovené podmínky pro získání výhry. Pořadatel tímto nepřebírá vůči Soutěžícím žádné jiné závazky, a tito nemají nárok na jakákoliv jiná plnění ze strany Pořadatele než uvedená v těchto Pravidlech.

  V případě, že dojde ke změnám podmínek a Pravidel Soutěže, bude toto učiněno písemně ve formě aktualizace těchto Pravidel.
