PRODUCTION OF BATTERIES
FOR HYBRIDS RESTARTED
Resuming production after the temporary ‘COVID-19’ shutdown requires sticking to a detailed itinerary that is guided by
process steps and the supply chain. At ŠKODA’s headquarters in
Mladá Boleslav, assembly of high-voltage traction batteries
has also recommenced as planned. These batteries made in MB
are used in the SUPERB iV and plug-in hybrid models from other
Group brands. To keep the workforce safe, more than 80
precautions have to be strictly followed. The car manufacturer
has put the measures in place to protect factory and office staff in
the best-possible way and prevent them from becoming infected.
NUMBER OF
THE WEEK
SUPPORTING MEDICS
You can now help the front-line medical services in Mladá
Boleslav, Kvasiny and Vrchlabí financially. On our request,
the NROS (Civil Society Development Foundation)
founded a charity account for a time-limited employee
collection named "Helping medics against COVID-19". It is
supported by ŠKODA AUTO and the KOVO Trade Union.
LESSER-KNOWN
MODELS:
BUGGY &
FELICIA FUN
Throughout its 125-year history,
ŠKODA AUTO has presented
concept cars that are as unusual as
they are exciting. One such vehicle
was the BUGGY Type 736 which
continued the tradition of building
autocross racing cars from the early
1970's. Another fun companion for
leisure activities was the FELICIA
Fun with its eye-catching yellow
paintwork. It also featured a "party
trick" feature that could transform
this 1990's two-seater into
a four-seater in just a few steps.
All episodes of the "Lesser-known
models from ŠKODA AUTO’s 125year history" series were released
at ŠKODA Storyboard
It all started with number 8.
The OCTAVIA (Latin for ‘the
eighth’) was our 8th model with
state-of-the-art independent allround suspension and our 8th
model after WWII when it was
presented in 1959. The
OCTAVIA eventually became
ŠKODA's number one bestseller.
It is offered in 46 countries and
is produced at five plants
worldwide.
More than 7,000,000
OCTAVIAs have left the
assembly lines since 1959.
Now the fourth generation
opens the next chapter of
this unique success story.
