New parking spaces
On Monday, 1 September, a new section of the parking lot was opened at Gate 11 next to the Laurin & Klement Campus. The area has added 324 new parking spaces, which are available to all employees without restriction. Access remains via the existing entrance, without a barrier gate. Thanks to a joint initiative by Škoda Auto and its social partner, the KOVO Trade Union, employees now have greater certainty of finding a suitable parking space when arriving at work, which improves commuting comfort.
