  Helping Regions Affected by Floods

  The carmaker’s management, in collaboration with the KOVO Trade Union and the Škoda Auto Endowment fund (NFŠA), organised a fundraising campaign to raise funds for effective assistance to areas most severely affected by the September floods. All employees could participate via the Employee Giving @SMART Application on Škoda Space, where they entered the amount of their choice. To make the collective help as effective as possible, Škoda Auto will double all employee contributions. All funds raised will then be distributed transparently through the NFŠA after an evaluation committee with the participation of the KOVO Trade Union, Škoda Auto and the Donors’ Forum. The carmaker has also temporarily provided cars to People in Need and ADRA organisations helping in the affected areas.

  Points for Vitamins Added

  At the end of September, 250 points were added to the Škoda Benefits cafeteria for all employees. In collaboration with the KOVO Trade Union, the carmaker decided to replace the direct distribution of vitamin supplements from previous years. Now, employees can use these points to boost their immunity before winter according to their preferences. 

  Fenix Award for ŠAVŠ

  Škoda Auto University (ŠAVŠ) was also represented at the Fenix Awards gala evening, which recognises the best achievements in the field of content marketing. It won in the Best of Best category in the Academic Sector with its promotional video motivating people to focus on engineering studies. In addition to Michal Kvapil from the Adlien agency, the university’s own students also participated directly in the video.

  EDU.Lab Welcomes a New Partner

  Following the success of the EDU.Lab mobile laboratory, which introduces students to modern technology and encourages an interest in engineering studies, the carmaker has formed a new partnership with MAN Truck & Bus Company. The mobile lab will now be transported by a brand-new MAN tractor unit. Since 2023, over 24,000 students from 160 schools across 45 cities have visited the EDU.Lab. Next year, it will exhibit in Moravia, aiming to fulfil its mission of visiting the entire Czech Republic within three years.

  Victory in the SDGs Awards

  For more than 20 years, Škoda Auto has operated a Protected/Profile Centre in close collaboration with the KOVO Trade Union. This centre focuses on inclusion and assistance for company employees with health or social limitations. The mission of the centre, which this year won the Diversity, Equality and Inclusion category in the finals of the prestigious SDGs Awards of the Association of Corporate Social Responsibility, is to help employees remain in the workforce despite their disadvantages. More than 500 employees from all three of the company’s manufacturing plants in the country are involved in its activities.
  

  To celebrate the carmaker’s upcoming anniversary, Škoda Auto has prepared special 130 Years and 130 Years Premium versions for Czech customers, available for the Fabia, Scala, Kamiq, Octavia and Karoq models. These editions offer customer benefits worth tens of thousands of Czech crowns.
  

  Pay to Fuel Now Available in the Czech Republic

  Drivers in the Czech Republic can now also pay for refuelling from the comfort of their Škoda. The carmaker is launching Pay to Fuel, a digital service that allows payment directly through the infotainment system using a pre-loaded payment card in the MyŠkoda app. Upon arrival at the station, drivers simply confirm the petrol station on the display and select the pump number. After refuelling, a confirmation of successful payment allows the driver to depart. The service is available in the OMV network and at selected service stations in Germany, Austria and five other European countries.

  New Features in the MyŠkoda App

  The updated mobile app for Škoda users introduces numerous new features. The map has a fresh look and now supports route planning and easy location of charging stations. Users can also specify the desired battery charge level at departure, at charging points or upon arrival at their destination to better plan their electric car journeys. A new widget on the phone’s home screen provides quick access to car information. Other innovations are geared towards the purchase of a new car. Customers will find a configurator and the option to book a test drive directly within the app.

  Škoda Auto’s corporate culture was once again examined by the Cultural Mindset Index (CMX) survey. Detailed results can be found on Škoda Space.

  Minutes from Car Prodcution: Closing Doors

  One of the last steps on the Škoda assembly line is the installation of the doors, which are fitted complete with glass, trim and electrical equipment. It is interesting, for example, that the worker uses a handling arm to “grab” the door from the inside, as if they were about to enter the car. The employee then installs the doors and connects the electrical connectors. See how this process works in the next episode of the Minutes from the Factory series on Škoda’s YouTube channel.

  The new Elroq shares its technical foundation – the MEB platform and several specific details – with its larger siblings in the Enyaq range. This has allowed Škoda Auto to leverage numerous synergies in the development process and to focus on innovative areas when developing the Elroq. The result is a model marked by a series of firsts.

  Smart interior storage capacity, equivalent to the volume of a large hiking backpack.

  Starting with its design, the Elroq is the brand’s first production car to feature the brand-new Modern Solid design language. This introduces a minimalist concept to the vehicle, with an emphasis on sophistication and elegance that evokes both the safety and practical aspects of the model. The Elroq includes elements that will appear on other Škoda models; for example, the Tech-Deck Face mask – a new concept for the headlights surrounding it – which features two-dimensional graphics at first glance. The new design also called for innovative technical solutions, which we will detail on the following pages. One important detail is the Škoda logo on the nose; for the first time, the Elroq uses an inscription with an integrated hook instead of the traditional logo with a winged arrow, marking a creative completion of the transition to the new brand identity.

  The Elroq offers customers looking to buy a new car a simpler and more cost-effective way to drive, powered by electricity.

  Practicality and Sustainability

  Inside, the Elroq continues the theme of sustainability. Various interior designs called Design Selections will be available, each utilising different sustainable materials. For example, the Loft variant features seats made from a combination of faux leather and dark blue RecyTitan fabric, which contains 78% recycled PET and 6% fibres from recycled clothing. The Design Selection Lodge features TechnoFil fabric, which is composed of 75% recycled ECONYL fibre and 25% polyester. A special feature of this version is the orange stitching and seat belts in this distinctive colour. In addition to these options, the Elroq will also be available from the start in a Sportline version featuring Suedia upholstery and faux leather.

  Number of European markets, including the Czech Republic, where pre-orders for the Elroq began on 2 October.

  The Elroq boasts a range of up to 560 km in WLTP mode, thanks to refined aerodynamics with a drag coefficient (cd) value of only 0.26. Maximum charging power is 175 kW for the most powerful versions, bringing the charge from 10% to 80% in just 28 minutes. The Elroq 60 and Elroq 50 models charge at maximum powers of 165 kW and 145 kW, respectively, with both taking less than 25 minutes to reach 80%. 

  “At a very competitive starting price of around 33,000 euros in selected European markets, the Elroq is the most affordable vehicle in its segment across Europe, achieving price parity with its ICE counterpart in many markets,” said Klaus Zellmer, Škoda Auto CEO. Customers in 11 European markets can order the Elroq starting on 2 October.

  Premiere in a Cube

  The Elroq was unveiled on 1 October within view of Charles Bridge and Prague Castle, awaiting its premiere in a lighted cube on a pontoon on the Vltava River.

  Topic
  

  On the first day of October, a giant light cube on a pontoon, docked near the former swimming facility on the Vltava River close to the Government Office Building, captured the attention of Prague residents and visitors. The projected content hinted at the event it was part of. The cube concealed the new Elroq both figuratively and literally. In the evening, a new electric SUV emerged from it, driven by the CEO, Klaus Zellmer. Board members Martin Jahn (Sales and Marketing), Johannes Neft (Technical Development) and Oliver Stefani, Head of ED – Škoda Design, were present at the event as well. “It was amazing. It is a great honour to be the one behind the wheel for the first time in front of the whole world. And, of course, it is also a great joy because this is how the Elroq’s journey to customers began,” emphasised Zellmer.

  The length of each edge of the light cube, in metres, that concealed the Elroq before its premiere. 

  Moving on water

  The CEO compared driving out of the cube on a pontoon to exiting a garage. However, getting the car onto the pontoon was more challenging – the only feasible approach was via water. Thus, 10 hours before the premiere, a boat arrived at the pontoon carrying a truck with a boom and, of course, the Elroq. The rainy weather and the need to keep the car covered with a tarp at all times complicated the move.

  You can read more about the preparations for the world premiere in the Škoda Storyboard online magazine.

  Be More Elroq

  Did you know that clouds can travel hundreds of kilometres without getting tired, just like the all-new Elroq can travel more than 560 kilometres without recharging? This is one of the original metaphors used by the Škoda marketing team in the “Be More Elroq” campaign to launch the new car. The campaign also cleverly uses flamingos to reference the car’s increased ground clearance, which offers the driver a great view, and the Moon to represent the high-tech Matrix-LED headlights. “These eye-catching visual and narrative connections are easy to remember, and they appeal to a wide audience. The campaign also highlights the new Modern Solid design language and brings a fresh perspective to the Škoda brand,” explains Anna Reznichenko, who oversees communication campaigns at the VMS/1 – Brand and product content production department.  

  Metaphors reign supreme in an absolutely pure, green world, beautifully accentuated by the car’s new colour – Timiano Green. This colour not only emphasises the car’s aesthetics but also aligns with the main colours of Škoda Auto’s corporate identity. The campaign is designed as a comprehensive 360° experience and starts with communication in the current pre-sale phase. Its strength lies in engaging customers at various levels and through multiple channels, maximising its reach and efficiency.

  First Edition

  The limited edition of the Elroq 85 features special colour accents – orange stripes on the wheels, a black roof and other gloss black elements including mirror caps and Škoda lettering. The car also boasts exclusive front and rear bumpers and is adorned with First Edition plaques.

  Sportline

  The sport-tuned version features a lowered chassis and incorporates black elements, while the interior showcases a chrome look on many details and front sports seats with integrated headrests. The Elroq 85 variant comes standard with sports suspension and progressive steering.

  The Path to the Modern Solid

  The new Modern Solid design language, which debuted on the Škoda Elroq electric car, incorporates hidden technical and design innovations.

  Topic
  

  The Elroq’s designers aimed to create as uniform a surface area as possible across the car’s front. This means that the new Tech-Deck Face radiator mask is seamlessly integrated with the headlights to appear as one uninterrupted element. “The gap between the headlights and mask is unrivalled in the automotive industry, being only a millimetre wide,” says Pavel Kovář, Project coordinator bumpers at the EKV/6 – Bumpers department. 

  This unique achievement is the result of collaboration by a team composed of members from development and production departments across the carmaker.  

  1 mm

  We have achieved a one-millimetre gap between the car’s mask and clearance lights, a feat unrivalled in the automotive world.

  Completely new bumper mounting

  To achieve the desired look for the Elroq, EKV developed an entirely new way of mounting, assembling and adjusting the front bumper, a distinctive design element of the Modern Solid design language. This innovation centres on a special part known as the bonnet lock carrier, to which the outer bumper, made of 100% recycled material, is mounted. This design is prepared to meet future legislative requirements for sustainability. “The bonnet lock carrier is inserted into the pre-formed holes in the welding shop with a precision of half a millimetre,” explains Michal Čančík from the EKV/1 – Frontend, CMS department. This part not only determines the centre for the bumper but also aligns the car’s headlights. The internal structure of the bumper plays a crucial role; when assembled, it automatically positions the headlights, centring them to create the perfect Modern Solid appearance.

  The smart design offers several benefits. It not only delivers the desired appearance but also simplifies and speeds up installation in the nose area of the car. In addition, it facilitates the use of the two Tech-Deck Face mask options that the Elroq offers. The basic version is without back-lit elements, while the limited First Edition series features an illuminated mask that complements the headlight animation. It is expected that the illuminated version will be available as an option on other variants of the Elroq next year. “For production operators, the concept is universal and doesn’t change depending on the version of the mask chosen,” notes Pavel Kovář about the benefit.

  Durable sensor cover

  Beyond the conceptual solution, the Tech-Deck Face mask itself is noteworthy, made from durable polycarbonate and serving as a cover for the car’s sensitive sensors. The cooling air intake function is completely taken over by the lower grille in the front bumper, which is also unusually designed. It features a design with prismatic elements that look like they are floating. “The ribs that support these elements are hidden deeper inside the mask, making them virtually invisible under normal lighting,” says P. Kovář. Achieving such a detail required extensive simulations and tests, and it took considerable time to perfect a design that is both spectacular and robust.

  The lower grille in the front bumper is very unusual, it has a design with prismatic elements that look like floating. The ribs that these elements are hidden deeper inside the bonnet, so they’re actually invisible in normal lighting. Again, such detail required a lot of simulation and testing, and to achieve a spectacular yet robust design took a lot of time.

  To meet the requirements for the almost invisible joint between the mask and headlights, we collaborated not only with the ED – Škoda Design department but also with PF – Car Production, including the welding shop. Together, we developed brand-new solutions, resulting in completely new processes in the car’s production and assembly.

• Téma / elroq-design

  Design With an Emphasis on Functionality and Durability

  The design of the Elroq’s exterior and interior relies on a timeless concept, where new sustainable materials play a key role, emphasising durability without compromising quality.

  For the Elroq, developers and designers have succeeded in increasing the proportion of sustainable materials used. For instance, RecyTitan, a new fabric used in the interior of the Loft version, covers the seat upholstery, part of the dashboard, door panels, armrest and knee area. Another sustainable material, used in the Design Selection Lodge variant, is TechnoFil, which comprises one-quarter polyester and three-quarters recycled ECONYL nylon yarn.

  The Elroq’s design evokes practicality while also contributing to its superior aerodynamics.

  These modern materials are not only sourced sustainable and easily recyclable but also offer additional benefits. “They bring a new premium feel as well. These fabrics are valuable and in practice much more durable than leather, for example, which many still perceive as a sign of luxury,” explains Stefan Webelhorst, responsible for design colours and trim at the ED/T – Colour and Trim department. According to the designers, using these new materials does not mean compromising on quality; rather, it ensures the customer receives the absolute best.

  Inside the car, all materials, whether recycled or not, aim to make the car look as attractive as possible. “The interior design is somewhat conservative due to the pricing strategy of the cars, but we look for ways to make it more valuable. An example of this is the new textures we’re using for traditional surface parts,” adds S. Webelhorst. 

  Sustainability even under the lid

  The Elroq uses sustainable materials not only where they are visible at first glance, such as the seat covers. Also, in areas that are partially hidden from the customer’s view, recycled material is found, such as the water channel cover under the windscreen or the car’s undercarriage covers or the wheel arches. The requirement for maximum durability also applies here. Therefore, Škoda Auto does not compromise on its quality and durability requirements when testing parts made from new materials.

  In the interior, recyclate is found, for example, in the luggage compartment carpet or in the floor mats. Natural materials were also used here, specifically wood chips used for the flooring in the luggage compartment or for the handle of the roller shutter cover. 

  Working with colours

  The Elroq boasts the exclusive Timiano green colour, which evokes sustainability and at the same time follows the Škoda colour scheme that has long been associated with shades of green. The designers have also done some intriguing work with the colours inside the car. For example, in the Design Selection Lodge, the interior not only features orange stitching but orange seat belts as well. This colour choice underscores important aspects of the new Modern Solid design language: practicality and functionality.

  We started working with yarn suppliers 10 years ago to develop the technical base of the new RecyTitan material for the Loft interior. During testing, the initial fabrics were made from recycled clothing collected in the Czech Republic. Ultimately, the material comprises 78% recycled PET bottles and 6% fibres from recycled clothing.

  The new Modern Solid design language features a simplified design that brings timelessness. On the other hand, such a design has to be much more precise. Challenges included coming up with the new look of the headlights and the optional backlit version of the Tech-Deck Face mask. The effect consists of 131 illuminated elements, which is related to the number of LED sources of the Crystal Face mask in Enyaq model.

  In the Elroq, for the first time, we implemented 100% recycled plastic for the hood latch beam part, which is made from old plastic 12V car battery covers. This is a nice example in the field of circular economy, where we use end-of-life parts to produce new material and then produce new parts.

  Sophistication and Practicality

  Although the Elroq’s technology is based on the Enyaq, most of the exterior panels are completely new, crafted in the spirit of the Modern Solid language. “The goal was to achieve a certain robustness and solidity, while also showcasing the practical side of our cars with the new design,” says Jounggeen Kim from the EDE/2 – Design exterior – team 2.

  A distinctive feature of the model is the upright bumper, which conveys a sense of security and emphasises the car’s capability on unpaved roads. “Creating the first car with a brand-new design concept was a great challenge because you are laying the foundation for other cars,” comments Kim on the challenge of bringing the Modern Solid language to life.

  The creation of the new language included developing a new Tech-Deck Face mask and headlights, the typical “jewels” of Škoda cars. They now feature a new precise look that is rather two-dimensional, digital. Petr Nevřela from the EDE/1 – Design exterior – team 1 also highlights the light animations that the Elroq displays when unlocked. “They are specific to every Škoda model and must always fit into 3 seconds, which is a homologation requirement. However, the double flashing of the turn signals to confirm the car unlocking, which takes 0.8 seconds, is included in this time. This leaves only 2.2 seconds for the rest of the model’s ‘story’,” explains P. Nevřela.

• Indian student car

  Following the model of the Mladá Boleslav apprenticeship, students in India also built their own car. The result is an innovative pickup truck created by combining two Volkswagen models produced under the Škoda Auto banner at the Indian plant in Pune – Taigun SUV and Virtus sedan. The students had access to the latest technology, including 3D printing, which they used to produce the necessary parts.

  Student Car in Indian Rendition

  Following the example of the Mladá Boleslav apprenticeship, students in India have also built their second car based on production models.

  Škoda Auto Volkswagen India Private Limited (SAVWIPL) has supported the Indian government’s Skill India initiative through the Student Car project. This year, the students’ efforts resulted in an innovative pickup truck created by combining two Volkswagen models produced under the Škoda Auto banner at its Pune facility in India: the Taigun SUV and the Virtus sedan.  

  By bringing global manufacturing practices to India, our goal is to create environments where young innovators can grow into the changemakers of tomorrow, strengthening India’s role as a global manufacturing hub.

  Andreas Dick

  Board Member for Production and Logistics

  The students worked on the development of the car for nine months, covering all key stages from finalising the car concept and idea gathering to market analysis, research and development, procurement and final testing for market launch. The students were given free rein to come up with their own innovative solutions, aided by state-of-the-art technology, including 3D printing, to produce the necessary parts. They also fitted the car with specialised accessories such as chassis protection, studded tyres, ambient lighting and special roof lights to complete the rugged pickup’s design.

  “It is impressive to see the unique concept of developing a pickup truck from our mechatronics students. This is a great platform that inspires their imagination and allows them to contribute to the future of mobility,” said Piyush Arora, Managing Director and CEO of Škoda Auto Volkswagen India Private Limited. 

  The project was supervised by SAVWIPL experts who guided and supported the students as they collaborated with suppliers and other automotive industry experts.

  Opportunities for Young Talent

  Since 2011, the SAVWIPL Academy has offered vocational training in mechatronics to high school students. This 3.5-year course is designed to develop young talent for the automotive industry. The program fosters technological creativity and problem-solving skills, which are crucial for the development of innovative technologies. Projects like this provide not only room for creativity but also valuable real-world production experience.

  With the Azubi Car student car project, the Škoda Academy, under which the Škoda Auto Vocational School falls, joins the global effort to promote vocational training and help young people gain practical experience to better facilitate their entry into the automotive industry.

  How students see it

  The project involved students who entered the Mechatronics program in the 2021/22 school year. SAVWIPL mentors guided them for approximately nine months, during which time they were able to complete the student car. Five of them – Shrikant Aswar, Shivam Kore, Yash Koshimkar, Aman Rahalkar and Parth Kshirsagar – shared their impressions with Škoda Mobil. “Working in the VW Group team has been an opportunity of a lifetime for us. We were able to delve deeply into the practical solutions to various challenges and merging two beautifully designed Taigun and Virtus cars into a functional pickup truck was an extraordinary learning experience,” the students shared.

  While working on the project, they had to design some of their own components, such as the door hinges and trim. They found that in practice, they had to deal with adapting a number of designs created “on paper,” solved complex wiring issues, and even chose an exclusive color for the car based on trend analysis. So they tried out what they can’t get from textbooks alone. “After completing the project, we feel extremely proud. We have gained first-hand experience of working in SAVWIPL’s state-of-the-art facility and with top experts. It just wasn’t just theory, but we really turned our dream concept into reality,” they agreed.

  1,261,452

  Tonnes of packaging waste were generated in the Czech Republic.

  75%

  The proportion of used packaging, totalling 941,285 tonnes, sent for recycling.

  11% 

  The proportion of used packaging, totalling 143,271 tonnes, used for energy recovery. 

  99%

  The proportion of people in the Czech Republic who can sort their waste; 75% of them actually do.

  920,007

  Number of coloured containers and bins available for sorted waste in the Czech Republic.

  1,000,000

  Tonnes of CO₂ equivalent (CO₂e) were not emitted into the air thanks to waste sorting and recovery, saving an estimated 30 km2 of nature.
  

  75.6

  This is the average number of kilogrammes sorted by each resident of the Czech Republic per year.

  22.5 kg of paper

  17.1 kg of plastics

  14.6 kg of glass

  21 kg of metal

  0.4 kg of beverage cartons

  Waste can be mechanically recycled, energy-recovered or landfilled. While each method of managing waste has its benefits, the one at the top of the pyramid is waste prevention. Zero Waste Week, held this year from 16 to 22 September, was an opportunity to connect with the community, engage in a 31-day challenge and be inspired to minimise waste for a more sustainable lifestyle.  

  The goal of Zero Waste Week is to reduce the amount of waste produced and to spread awareness about the principles of the circular economy.
  

  Is it possible to live completely waste-free? 

  Waste minimisation is not just about dealing with inconvenient restrictions; it is also an adventure, a challenge and a lifestyle that gives one a sense of purpose and an opportunity to connect with like-minded people. Advocating a zero-waste approach aims to reduce our ecological footprint as much as possible. Zero waste serves as a unique guide to transform your life into a simpler, more joyful and responsible way of being. In the spirit of the motto: Live sustainably!

  What you can follow

  The journey to zero waste is made easier by steps you can take in your home or life, whether occasionally or regularly. The primary principle is to avoid what you would otherwise throw away. Instead, make more use of things that have already been produced and avoid wasting resources on acquiring new ones. Always buy only what you need, make something from what you already own, swap what you don’t use, borrow what you need and use what you already have. This approach is followed by advice on how to handle the need for something new: reject, then reduce, reuse, recycle, compost!

  Live responsibly

  Even if you’ve forgotten about this year’s Zero Waste Week, you can start at any time. It is up to you whether to use the tips daily or give yourself a longer interval, depending on your energy and circumstances. The most important aspect is enjoying the challenge. Living a zero-waste life is not an obligation; it’s a fun game.

  How to Work Without Waste

  Be, live and think waste-free

  Know your waste. Get clear on what you want to get rid of. Look in your trash bin and think carefully about what is in it. Sort through your wardrobe or kitchen shelves. And finally, think about how you acquired it. 

  Decide what you can let go of

  Ask yourself if it is possible to reject things that create waste. Eliminate the superfluous items in your life.

  Change your waste habits 

  For the items you can’t let go of, seek waste-free alternatives. Change your waste-generating habits. For example, instead of buying pre-packaged lunches, consider preparing food at home.

  Reduce what you can’t let go of 

  Limit yourself to the necessary amount of anything that can’t be rejected or exchanged. This will help you to prevent further waste. Instead of buying, rent or share with others.

  Repurpose old things 

  Make the most of what you already have at home. Breathe new life into old items that can no longer serve their original purpose. Be sure to prefer items that can be reused for a long time and look for items that will last almost forever.

  QR Codes Instead of Piles of Paper
  

  

  The project Digitisation of Sequential Accompanying Documentation, implemented by the PFK-I – In-House Logistics Kvasiny and PFS-P – Program Management departments, has increased data availability and reduced printing. The significance of this paper-saving project can be inferred from understanding what sequential accompanying documentation entails. It is a list of the variants of a single part being prepared for assembly. The parts are placed in a special sequential trolley in the exact order needed for the assembly line. An example is rear-view mirrors, which must match the specification and colour of the car. Because all variations cannot be accommodated along the line, the parts are prepared in a sequential trolley positioned outside the line. To make the project a success, colleagues in Kvasiny developed the PaperFree app and tested it in full operation, deploying it on a pilot basis in June 2023 and gradually rolling it out to other plant logistics after testing. The app not only replaces paper-based sequential accompanying documentation but also includes additional functionalities such as sequence search by part name or information about sequential parts before and after assembly. This project saves resources and is an exceptional contribution to the Green Logistics strategy. A video in the digital version of Škoda Mobil illustrates the printing of the sequential accompanying documentation before and after the implementation of this measure.

  Summer Without Plastics 

  How much disposable packaging can you replace?  

  In cooperation with Zerowasters, the PSU – Environmental and Work Protection department organised the July Is Not The Only Plastic-Free Month event during the summer. Responding to the Plastic Free July challenge, this initiative encouraged employees to reflect on minimising plastic waste through articles, webinars and a quiz. Participants were able to experience first-hand that reducing single-use plastic packaging involves making small daily decisions and overcoming challenges in finding solutions. They were inspired by the first part of an educational and inspiring read entitled Plastic Is a Delight. Škoda employees were asked to select one plastic product and replace it with a more sustainable alternative in the spirit of a zero-waste approach. The follow-up article, Why (Not) To Be Afraid of Plastics, provided insights about proper sorting and recycling techniques while also explaining where synthetic dust in the form of microplastics comes from and where it ends up. Another text, Eternal Chemicals for an Eternity, described the persistence of substances known as PFAS, which we should look out for in products because they hardly ever break down in nature, and the human body cannot digest them either. Further valuable and interesting information was shared in the GreenFuture webinar entitled Plastics, Microplastics and Other Traps, where Jana Vaníčková from Zerowasters and moderator Vlasta Štrunc discussed the hidden dangers of these types of waste. 

  Where the #Plastic Free July Challenge Originated

  The idea took root in Australia when Rebecca Prince-Ruiz visited a recycling sorting centre in Perth in June 2011. She observed the lines that sorted a seemingly endless stream of bottles, tubs, jars, cans and boxes and realised that filling the recycling bin with plastic would only get the sorted waste into the recycling stream. The most important thing everyone should do is to reduce waste. So, she decided to spend a month avoiding single-use plastics. The next month was July, and it led not only to Plastic Free July but also to the creation of the non-profit organisation called the Plastic Free Foundation. Last year, this initiative reported participation from 89 million people across 190 countries, all pledging to reduce their plastic use during July. Over the past five years, participants have prevented more than 1.5 million tonnes of plastic waste, according to the campaign. This volume of waste would fill approximately 80,000 garbage trucks.

• FORCEd to peak

  The Production and Logistics area is implementing a new production strategy. Škoda Auto will now ensure that the development of new vehicles considers efficient production requirements from the start. The aim is to reduce complexity, enhance automation, increase modularity and develop sustainable plants with optimal business results. All of these elements are crucial to Škoda Auto's future success.

  FORCEd to peak

  Resetting Priorities – Success Factors
  in Production and Logistics.

  Production and Logistics are the core areas of Škoda Auto. Here, all threads come together, from the manufacturing of vehicle components to the final assembly of our cars. Across our locations in Mladá Boleslav, Kvasiny, Vrchlabí and Pune, 32,160 people work in Production and Logistics. Last year, we built around 888,000 cars, 470,000 engines, 1,035,000 transmissions, and 313,200 battery systems. This success is achieved through the right strategy, which serves as a toolbox for implementing our long-term goals in P Area.

  Up until the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020, Škoda Auto’s vehicle volume was characterized by consistent growth in a relatively stable environment. The pandemic and the associated semiconductor supply crisis broke this trend, and our previously very successful production strategy FORCE Program increasingly struggled to provide the right answers. The transformation towards the second generation of electric platforms and the increasing international competition have now forced us to strategically realign Production and Logistics.

  Our Strategic Mission

  With the new strategic initiative in production and logistics – peak – we are setting new priorities. We build cars whose development we have production-orientated influenced and use innovative technologies to transform our infrastructure into lean, flexible & sustainable factories with the best business cases in CZ and abroad. The name peak is derived from the initials of the words Production, Effectiveness, Achievement and Key results.

  The peak strategic initiative seamlessly integrates into the company strategy Next Level and contributes to the overall success of the company. By focusing on the success factors of production and logistics, we avoid duplication of efforts while fully addressing the specific P Area requirements at the corporate level. These success factors are pursued through three initiatives that provide guidance in today’s complex environment.

  Our Path to Reach the peak

  The introduction of peak is crucial for our future success and competitiveness. We want to involve everyone from production and logistics. Through flagship projects, we will ensure the identification of our employees with peak, as they will all be the driving force at the core of peak. 

  In this context, you will find more detailed information about each initiative in the upcoming issues of Škoda Mobil.

  Andreas Dick

  Board Member for Production and Logistics

  With peak, we are addressing new challenges and competition. More than before we are focusing on our strategic success factors and how we can contribute to the overarching Next Level – Škoda Strategy 2030. We strictly separate our strategic goals and ambitions from our operational day-to-day business to generate a clear picture of our future production focusing on three leading initiatives.

  The Three Main Initiatives

  Future-Proof Factory

  We are transforming our plants to the next EV platforms by integrating state-of-the-art technologies, automation, and data analytics. Our goal is to create flexible, sustainable, and highly efficient factories that are prepared for the challenges of tomorrow.

  Operational Excellence

  The aim of this initiative is to increase today’s competitiveness of our factories by minimizing costs. Flexibility is essential for maintaining stable production in a volatile environment. Efficient quality is a prerequisite for customer satisfaction and will also drive cost reductions in product and process quality.

  Leadership & Responsibility

  We strive to further develop the organizational structure of production and logistics through responsible and sustainable growth. Leadership & Responsibility is evident through the development of our employees, the reduction of our ecological footprint, and expansion in ASEAN (Southeast Asia) region.

• Conference for female managers

  Supporting women in leadership positions is a key component of Škoda Auto's diversity strategy. In line with this, the carmaker, in cooperation with McKinsey & Company, organised the Women Management Summit. The event focused on trends in the automotive industry, the importance of employees during transformation periods and leadership styles that foster an inclusive and equitable work environment.

  Platform for Development of Female Managers

  Women in management of Škoda Auto and McKinsey & Company convened to discuss industry trends and network at the Women Management Summit.

  Event
  

  Supporting the development of women in leadership positions is a key component of Škoda Auto’s diversity strategy. A notable initiative was the Women Management Summit on 19 and 20 September, organised in collaboration with the international consultancy firm McKinsey & Company. The conference focused on trends in the automotive industry, consumer expectations, the role of employees during transformation periods and leadership styles that promote an inclusive and equitable working environment.

  100

  Fifty managers from Škoda Auto and fifty from McKinsey & Company attended the conference. 

  Maren Gräf, Board Member for People & Culture at Škoda Auto, opened the event on behalf of the carmaker. “With the participants, we discussed not only issues pertaining to women but mainly the major challenges facing our industry, including changes in the macroeconomic and geopolitical landscape,” M. Gräf commented, also highlighting the positive atmosphere at the conference.

  Shivanshu Gupta of McKinsey & Company provided insights into the rapidly growing automotive market in India. This was followed by a panel discussion on diversity and inclusion featuring Martina Zimmermann, Expert Coordinator Diversity from S/X – Transformation, and economist Radek Špicar, Vice President of the Confederation of Industry of the Czech Republic among the panellists. “I was intrigued by [Špicar’s] idea that more men need to be involved in promoting the topic of diversity because it is a matter of corporate culture,” said one of the participants, Šárka Davidíková, Head of G14 – Model line A0 IN & platform A0.

  The programme also included practical workshops offering tips and tricks on how to effectively sell one’s work to the board of directors or how to lead employees in alignment with the values of the corporate culture.

  How to Compete in the Electric Vehicle Market
  

  360° editor Kirsten Beuscher in an interview with Kai Grünitz and Lars Krause (from left).

  The Group’s volume brand, Brand Group Core (BGC), is committed to collaborating in the key areas called the 6+ Core Drivers, the first of which is increasing competitiveness in the electric car segment. Kai Grünitz, Volkswagen Board Member for Technical Development, and Lars Krause, Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles Board Member for Sales and Marketing, oversee this coordination. They recently discussed the challenges and measures in the Group’s 360° magazine (the full interview can be found by scanning the QR code below). “We have set three clear goals. Firstly, we aim to significantly reduce battery costs per kilowatt hour by 2026. Secondly, we plan to improve software quality and continue reducing customer complaints. Thirdly, given the intense competition in the field of electric mobility, we aim to win 75% of benchmark tests with our models, and we are also on track in this respect,” Krause explained in the interview. 

  Grünitz stressed that cooperation on the BGC’s core topics extends across the carmaker’s areas and divisions. “Cooperation between brands is nothing new in development. However, until now, our meetings did not include representatives from purchasing, sales or the boards of directors of other brands. The 6+ Core Drivers structure now facilitates this by bringing together experts from all areas,” he noted.

  The interview also covers topics such as the joint project for a compact electric car, regional responsibilities and collaboration with the Cariad Group.

  Studie VISION 7S představuje sedmimístné elektrické SUV s řadou neotřelých řešení.

  V říjnu vyrazil částečně funkční model vozu nejprve do Anglie, k vidění byl v Londýně u Tower Bridge a následně si ho na vlastní kůži vyzkoušeli novináři v Peterborough.

  Následovala také novinářská prezentace studie ve španělském přímořském letovisku Marbella.

  Kola mají průměr 22" a aerodynamické ráfky jsou téměř zcela uzavřené.

  Studie vozu VISION 7S zaujme jak celkovým vzhledem, tak řadou netradičních detailů.

  Interiéru dominuje velká otočná obrazovka s úhlopříčkou 14,6".

  Při ukázce vozu řada novinářů oceňovala jednoduché mechanické ovládání některých základních funkcí.

  Spíše designérskou libůstkou studie je oválný volant. Že by v běžných řadových vozech nahradil klasické kulaté totiž není příliš pravděpodobné.

  Co by to bylo za vůz ŠKODA bez Simply Clever prvků? V případě vozu VISION 7S jde například o magnetické úchyty na mobilní telefon.

  Studie vozu zdůrazňuje přístup ŠKODA AUTO k udržitelnosti. Podlaha a zavazadlový prostor jsou tak celé vyrobeny z materiálu z recyklovaných pneumatik.

  Elroq was waiting for its premiere hidden in a light cube.
  

  It was officially launched on the evening of Tuesday 1 October.
  

  The six-metre cube allowed the projection of striking visual elements linked to the car's marketing campaign.
  

  The world premiere took place on a pontoon on the Vltava River in front of the Civic Swimming Pool in Prague.
  

  The car was driven by Klaus Zellmer, Škoda Auto CEO, as it exited the cube and was subsequently introduced.
  

  However, his other colleagues from the Škoda Auto management were also present.
  

  Three hundred media representatives attended the event. They all had the opportunity to see the new car in depth.
  

  In addition to the "premiere" car in Timiano Green, the Elroq First Edition in Moon White was on site...
  

  ... and the Elroq Sportline in Red Velvet.
  

  The design of the car was presented to the attendees by the most authoritative, the head of Škoda Design Oliver Stefani.
  

  There was plenty of room for questions from journalists.
  

  The moving of the electric car into place took place a few hours before the event. It arrived at the pontoon by boat. 
  

  Of course, it had to be carefully covered with a tarp before the premiere.
  

  This was also true for the other Elroq cars that were ready.
