ŠKODA WEEKLY 14/2020

NUMBER

OF THE

WEEK

CLEAN AIR FOR OUR CARS

Allergy symptoms can have

an adverse impact on driving

safety. At 50 km/h, a sneeze

can mean driving blind

for around 30 metres.

The Climatronic Air Care

system in many ŠKODA

vehicles effectively remedies

this situation. Using various

sensors, it monitors the air

quality in the vehicle, and, if

necessary, responds

automatically.

LESSER

KNOWN

MODELS

OF ŠKODA

ŠKODA Storyboard is

preparing series about lesser

known models from ŠKODA's

125-year-long history. First

was the Laurin & Klement

Type LW three-wheeler

(picture) from 1905, with only

three models still existing, plus

a separate engine. Second part

was dedicated to mail and

delivery vans L&K Type E

"Černá hora-Montenegro".

These specials ideally suited

the specifics of the

mountainous Principality of

Montenegro and proved to be

highly reliable and functional,

building our brand great

rapport in this region.

The cabin air filters in current

ŠKODA vehicles are also

crucial for clean air in the

interior. They perform three

functions simultaneously: they

catch fine dust particles,

prevent allergens from

entering the interior, and can

absorb unpleasant odours.

However, this only works

optimally if the cabin air filters

are changed regularly, ideally

in spring.

ŠKODA AUTO has temporarily

shut down production until 27. 4.

2020. Many employees are

therefore off their usual

workplace and it's not possible to

visit ŠKODA AUTO's

restaurants. To avoid wasting

food Aramark has given 250 kg

of food from the Kvasiny plant to

two local social-care organizations. More examples of our help

are on social networks.

known models are being gradually

OCTAVIA GETS NOTICED

IN PRODUCT DESIGN

Three’s a charm: following previous nods in 2006 and 2017, the

OCTAVIA has once again received the renowned Red Dot Award for

outstanding product design, marking its third such win.

Our bestseller’s all-new fourth generation impressed a jury of around

40 experts from across the globe with its emotive styling, sculpted

design elements and elegant, dynamic proportions. The design

contest’s 65th edition has thus netted ŠKODA its 14th Red Dot

Award for its models.
