NEW TWO-SPOKE STEERING WHEEL
It is the interior’s crowning jewel,
which is used for much more than
just steering the car. Its shape is
predetermined, but there is still room
for innovation. What has changed?
Explore the creation of a new steering wheel for ŠKODA cars at ŠKODA
Storyboard. The new two-spoke steering wheel was first unveiled in the
fourth-generation of the ŠKODA OCTAVIA. Now it is being given to
other ŠKODA models as well. The steering wheel is ergonomic, freshlooking and enables a range of variations, including a three-spoke version.

ON 16/10/2020, IT WAS
152 YEARS FROM THE BIRTH
OF VÁCLAV KLEMENT,
ONE OF THE FOUNDERS
OF OUR COMPANY.
The enthusiastic technician
first worked as an apprentice in
a bookstore in Slaný. His path
then brought him to Mladá
Boleslav, where he bought
his own bookstore. Here, he
formed a cycling club & also
traded in bicycles to help pay
for his shop. This side business
would later shape his future.
After his bike of a foreign brand
broke and his complaint was
rejected, he started making his
own SLAVIA bikes 1895 with
Václav Laurin.
Při vývoji nových modelů, ale i pro kontrolu během sériové výroby
prochází vozy ve ŠKODA AUTO zkouškami vodotěsnosti. Jejich
úkolem je zjistit, zda do interiéru automobilu například při dešti nebo
v myčce nezatéká. Zkušebna vodotěsnosti funguje v automobilce již
od roku 1982 a v nedávné době prošla zásadní modernizací

DIGISIGN:
NEW FEATURES
The DigiSign app presents its new
features. „Cancel request“ allows you
to delete your own requests, which has
not been approved or rejected by all
users. This is especially useful, when you
accidentally send the wrong document.
The wording of e-mail notifications, that
inform users about the current status of
their active requests in the app, was also
edited. These notifications now include
the name of the request and the name
of its author. The third change is the
„Confirmed requests“ tab, which became
the new default home page.

EYES THAT SEE IN THE RAIN AND THE DARK
Alert and vigilant eyes of our cars are constantly scanning the surrounding area to make
your life easier behind the wheel. Find out more about the sensors that let your car
activate some functions automatically. For example, sensors control the switch between
your daytime and passing beam lights – handy when entering a tunnel or if darkness
falls. Another sensor checks for moisture or sunlight intensity, and another one is in
charge of automatic windscreen wiper activation.
