• A FLIGHT THROUGH ŠKODA WORLD

  A flight through ŠKODA World

  Letter from the CEO 

  I wish you peaceful and  merry Christmas, plenty of rest,  good health and a successful start to 2022.

  Dear colleagues, ladies and gentlemen, my fellow ŠKODA employees,

  The Supervisory Board of the Volkswagen Group has already informed the public of several personnel changes, one of which concerns ŠKODA and me personally. As of 1 July 2022, I will become the Chairman of the Board of Directors of the Volkswagen brand in Wolfsburg.

  However, I would like to assure you of one thing: Until then, I will continue working with full commitment for our company, and we still have many challenges ahead of us. We will be launching our new models (derivatives of the ENYAQ iV product family, the modernised KAROQ and the FABIA MONTE CARLO). We will also continue expanding electromobility and supporting the Czech Republic’s transformation into its hub. And despite the coronavirus pandemic and the shortage of semiconductors, we will fight for every car. In this respect, I rely on your full support. I am convinced that we will meet these challenges and further strengthen our ŠKODA brand together – for our customers, in the regions we manage and within the Volkswagen Group. In the long term, with our NEXT LEVEL – ŠKODA STRATEGY 2030, we are fully prepared for the future: With our reconstituted Board team, a clear strategy for electromobility and our efforts in the growth regions of India, Russia and North Africa, we will successfully lead ŠKODA AUTO through its transformation process and lay the foundation for long-term job security. 

  You can be absolutely sure that I will be committed to this great brand and its employees until my last day at ŠKODA AUTO. We have numerous tasks ahead of us, so let’s get to work on them!

  But before that, I wish you and your families a peaceful and Merry Christmas, plenty of rest, good health and a successful start to 2022.

  FABIA gets five stars for safety

  The popular hatchback’s fourth generation is the 14th ŠKODA model in the line to receive the maximum five-star Euro NCAP safety rating. In its benchmark tests, the FABIA obtained 78 percent of the maximum possible score, making it one of the safest cars in its class. “Thanks to the MQB-A0 platform, the FABIA offers – for the first time – several safety and assistance systems that were previously available only in higher-end cars while at the same time enhancing the safety of this popular model”, notes Johannes Neft, Board Member for Technical Development.

  HAPPENING IN ŠKODA AUTO

  Collective bargaining has been completed

  ŠKODA AUTO management and its social partner, the KOVO Trade Unions, have successfully completed collective bargaining for 2022. The parties have negotiated a number of agreements relating to working hours, working calendars and a 5% increase in the social spending budget. For employees, this means that they will be able to benefit from several new or revised benefits.

  Experts advise on sustainable development

  In developing ambitious goals derived from its NEXT LEVEL – ŠKODA STRATEGY 2030, the carmaker has been relying on its new Advisory Board for Sustainable Development since early December. The independent five-member board features experts with international experience in the fields of the environment, social affairs, economics and governance. They will advise the carmaker on the implementation of specific measures (ŠKODA Mobil regularly informs you about them in the Green Future section) and offer new perspectives, suggestions and approaches to sustainable development issues. ŠKODA AUTO was one of the first companies in the Czech Republic to establish such an expert advisory committee.

  The composition of the board and other details can be found on ŠKODA Storyboard.

  Achievements and trophies

  ENYAQ iV nominated for European Car of the Year

  ŠKODA’s electric SUV was among the seven finalists for the traditional award, which is jointly presented by nine European car magazines. The winner will be selected by an international jury of 61 motoring journalists from a total of 23 European countries. The winner of the 2022 Car of the Year award will be announced in Geneva at the end of February 2022. The ENYAQ iV follows on from the fourth-generation OCTAVIA, which was shortlisted last year. It is also another success for the model, having already won the Golden Steering Wheel award for the Best Electric SUV in early November.

  VW Group awards apprentices
  

  The Group’s traditional Best Apprentice Award for 50 apprentices for outstanding performance and expertise was held online due to the pandemic this year. Two recent graduates of ŠKODA AUTO’s Secondary Vocational School of Mechanical Engineering who already work at the carmaker received their awards. Pavlína Rohlíčková graduated as an electronics technician in June 2020 and works as an electronic equipment mechanic in the PFO-L – Paint Shop A department now. Marek Sučík trained as a metalworker and works as an adjuster in the PKM – EA 211 Engines department.

  More than 7 million new OCTAVIAs have rolled off the line since 1996. The anniversary car was produced by ŠKODA AUTO’s employees on Wednesday,  1 December.

  Please sign up for your booster dose of the COVID-19 vaccine

  accination has been shown to be the most efficient way of combatting the COVID‑19 pandemic by significantly reducing the risk of infection or severe disease. To gain sufficient immunity against COVID-19, doctors and scientists recommend a booster dose of the vaccine six months after the last dose. ŠKODA AUTO will once again offer it in the offices of its plant doctors. You can find information on how each vaccine is created and how it works here.

  How Vaccines Work

  A quick overview of the topic that dominated this year’s meetings with the foremen

  Three basic vaccine development models

  Protein base 

  The virus features so-called spike glycoproteins through which it attaches itself to human cells. When these spike proteins are removed, the virus kills itself. This killed virus is used for vaccine production. When injected into the body, it triggers a reaction to the presence of the virus, and the body begins to produce antibodies.

  Vaccines that it is used for:

  Against measles and polio

  Vector vaccines 

  A single spike protein from the virus is used. It is packaged into what is called a host adenovirus, which is a virus commonly found in humans and animals and causes common colds, diarrhoea, inflammation etc. This packaged spike protein is used in its inactive form (i.e. the person who is vaccinated is not infected with the virus) to produce a vaccine that is delivered into the body by vaccination. It then has information about the virus and can start producing its own antibodies. 

  Vaccines it is used for:

  Sputnik (uses human adenoviruses), Astra Zeneca and Johnson & Johnson (uses monkey adenoviruses) 

  mRNA 

  This is the most sophisticated vaccine variant and is also made from a single spike protein. However, only its so-called mRNA information (i.e. the instructions for making the spike protein) is used for vaccine development, not the whole spike protein. The mRNA is then wrapped in a protein package and injected into the body. Human cells read this information and start to produce their own spike proteins and, therefore, antibodies against the virus. This is why this vaccine is called messenger RNA and is also known as informative or mediator RNA. In addition, the vaccine does not contain a live virus and, therefore, will not cause the vaccinated individual to develop any symptoms of the disease against which they are being vaccinated. 

  Vaccines it is used for:

  Pfizer/BioNTech, Moderna, as well as against influenza, some tumours and rabies

  Did you know that...

  ... a virus is a non-cellular organism that is incapable of surviving on its own without a host? That is why, if it attaches itself to objects or touched surfaces, it dies on its own after a while. If we disinfect these surfaces, we accelerate the virus’s dying process.

  
  

  Roman Chlíbek 

  Head of the Czech Vaccionological Society

  The third (or booster) dose is very important because the vaccine and the disease are completely new. It is common for such diseases to require re-vaccination. This will extend the immunity protection, which decreases over time. In the context of the Delta variant, it has been shown that this protection can be much shorter than at the beginning. People tolerate the booster dose much better than the previous two doses. It is actually an extra bonus for them and a boost to their immunity at a time when more and more mutations of the virus are spreading.

  Overview of EU‑approved vaccines

  Pfizer/BioNTech (mRNA)

  Who should and should not get vaccinated 

  In principle, the greater health limitations I have, the faster I should rush to be vaccinated. 

  Chronically ill people, cardiac patients, people with cancer, diabetes or asthma, women from the eighth week of pregnancy, people with immune system disorders and people who have had a transplant. 

  Children under 12 years of age (pending approval), people with an allergic reaction to a previous vaccination for whom a different type of vaccine is recommended and people with acute respiratory disease.

• NEW STRATEGY / FORCE PROGRAM

  New Strategy / FORCE Program

  We Are On the Right Track

  Michael Oeljeklaus, Board Member for Production and Logistics, assesses the FORCE Program

  How has the programme changed over the years, and are its scope and objectives still valid?

  Since the introduction of the FORCE Program, there has been confirmation that we developed the right set of tools. Each of our eight fields of action addresses the current and future challenges, and today, we can say that this is exactly what the Production and Logistics sector needed. Of course, we evaluate and then update every work package and its objectives every year. This flexibility is our strength.

  This year, the carmaker introduced the company-wide NEXT LEVEL – ŠKODA STRATEGY 2030. How much did it influence the direction of the FORCE Program?

  Based on its three pillars (i.e. EXPAND, EXPLORE and ENGAGE), as well as 10 other related topics, we conducted an intensive analysis of the individual FORCE action fields. We took this as an opportunity to examine the FORCE Program as a whole and to check that we are still working on the right topics and are optimally positioned for the future. Based on this information, we decided to extend the FORCE Program until 2030. In addition, we have also revised the contents of some of the work packages of the eight action fields and set new, challenging objectives. Along with our company-wide strategy, we have also updated the FORCE Program in light of the VW Group’s new One.Production strategy, with which we have integrated it.

  We have been dealing with the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic since the spring of 2020. Last year, for the first time in history, production was halted for a few weeks, and this year, there are additional issues with semiconductor shortages. To what extent is the FORCE Program helping in these cases?

  We’d never before experienced what we experienced in the past two years. Despite all the difficulties and challenges, we knew from the very beginning that we could only do everything together. The guiding principle has always been to react flexibly to the external situation and look for the best solution. We also controlled all the processes much more closely and kept a close eye on our costs. The FORCE Program played a crucial role in this respect and reflected the idea of “WE”: With this tool, which has clearly defined our objectives, we can jointly handle challenging situations.

  I would like to thank all of my colleagues in the Czech Republic, India and Russia for their commitment, both in meeting our production objectives and in coping with these turbulent times. I wish you all a very pleasant Christmas and, above all, good health for 2022.

  Michael Oeljeklaus

  Board Member for Production and Logistics

  However, the FORCE Program is not only relevant to the Czech plants; it has been successfully implemented by your colleagues in India, and this year, ŠKODA AUTO took over the responsibility for the Russian region from the VW Group. At what stage is the FORCE Program there?

  Yes, our colleagues in India have successfully implemented it at both plants. We regularly exchange information on the status of our individual projects and jointly determine what the next course of action will be. Everyone deserves a big thank you and my respect for the work they have done. From 1 January 2022, we will also take over the responsibility for Russia; with the new Head of Production and Logistics, Jiří Černý, the spirit of the ŠKODA brand and the FORCE Program will be transferred there as well. Now, because of the pandemic situation, we are coordinating everything via online meetings, and the responsible persons have taken over the project organisation. We jointly fine-tune our individual work areas of the eight action fields with our objectives until 2030. We will then be happy to present the entire project to you via ŠKODA Mobil.

  The situation in the automotive industry is also affected by a number of new challenges, including electromobility. What can we expect in the coming year, but also by 2030?

  We are well positioned to offer a diverse range of cars to various customer groups. We are fully focused on the transformation of electromobility and facing the challenges of digitisation. We are flexible and can cover any potential demand fluctuations; our plans are sustainable, and we are on the road to CO2 neutrality. In addition, with the implementation of the ENYAQ iV car on the assembly lines in hall M13, we have proved what we can do and that we are future-oriented. This applies not only to our car production but also to our component production, where we have taken an important step with the assembly of the PHEV and MEB battery systems. However, the aggressive penetration of the Asian brands into our market means that it is time to break new ground while staying faithful to our Simply Clever solutions. I am confident that we will achieve this as a brand, together with the FORCE Program 2030. ED

  New Strategy / Purchasing

  Sustainable Purchasing 

  Thanks to NEW PROCUREMENT, ŠKODA AUTO’s purchasing processes will feature sustainable development and the circular economy

  ith the direction of NEW PROCUREMENT, the orientation of the Purchasing area is changing in line with the company-wide NEXT LEVEL – ŠKODA STRATEGY 2030. This change means that sustainability criteria will play a decisive role in the procurement of materials and components. “As the biggest private company in the Czech Republic and a responsible corporate entity, we also want to set the bar in the field of sustainable development. We will only fulfil this ambition if we consistently and comprehensively involve our partners in supply chain management from the outset. This is where our new direction in the Purchasing area, NEW PROCUREMENT, comes into play: With immediate effect, we will pay much more attention to sustainability and the circular economy. We will work on our new business models and also look for new partners, for example, in start-ups”, says Karsten Schnake, Board Member for Purchasing.

  In addition to quality and cost-effectiveness factors, the circular economy currently plays a key role in the new direction of the purchasing process. Through the comprehensive involvement of its supply partners and the targeted selection of environmentally friendly, recycled and recyclable materials, the Purchasing area helps ŠKODA AUTO to reach its sustainable development objectives. The Czech carmaker aims to consistently minimise the environmental impact of its business activities. To this end, specific objectives have been developed as part of the company-wide NEXT LEVEL – ŠKODA STRATEGY 2030. In this way, the carmaker will comprehensively involve its suppliers in the entire process chain and also support them in developing innovative solutions. Their potential application in the production process will then be verified in the areas of Technical Development, Design, Quality and Sales. With its new approach in Purchasing, the carmaker is also responding to the changing demands and expectations of its customers, for whom the topic of sustainability is becoming more and more important. ED

  New Strategy / Strategy Talks

  We will stay the pearl of the VW Group

  ŠKODA AUTO’s growth ambitions revealed at last two Strategy Talks

  t the end of October and the beginning of December, a series of discussions between managers and employees continued, focusing on the priorities of the new NEXT LEVEL – ŠKODA STRATEGY 2030. The goal of becoming one of the Top 5 best-selling brands in Europe by 2030 was highlighted by Martin Jahn, Board Member for Sales and Marketing, in a discussion entitled Strategic Relevance Europe. “ŠKODA AUTO products are valued by our customers not only in the Czech Republic but also especially in Germany, the UK, Austria and Poland. To improve our current eighth position among the best-selling brands in Europe, we will consider the needs of our customers in France, Spain and Italy even more carefully”, said Jahn. The company’s focus on having a competitive electrified portfolio in the future was stressed by Stefan Wünschmann, Head of the GSO – Multiproject Management & Digital Transformation department. “In the context of increasing market demand, we have the task of revising the BEV launch sequence and agreeing on the design of our upcoming models with the VW Group”, noted Wünschmann. The latest Strategy Talk on Regional Strategies took place at the beginning of December. “Besides the domestic European market, ŠKODA AUTO is unlocking business opportunities in other world regions. We aim to become the leading European brand in India, Russia and North Africa”, explained Christian Cahn von Seelen, Head of the GR – Management of Global Regions department. The CEO, Thomas Schäfer, shared his previous experience in and passion for emerging markets and outlined the next steps: “We are taking a close look at two countries: Firstly, Egypt is the gateway to not only North Africa but also the entire continent. If we want to look for opportunities, we have to start there. Secondly, Vietnam and the Czech Republic are culturally very close. We are evaluating future opportunities for ŠKODA to become more active there.” The Strategy Talks will continue in the new year, and details will be announced in advance on ŠKODA Space. ED

• We Think Green

  We think green

  To save resources and minimise its environmental footprint, ŠKODA AUTO reduces food waste at all its catering facilities. The SPP/4 team and Aramark prevents wasting by menu planning, customer numbers and portion numbers forecasting, perfect purchasing, waste tracking and analysis. Where do we stand on food waste in the Czech Republic?

  Food that ends up in the trash

  Although 800 million people worldwide suffer from malnutrition, up to one-third of food is thrown away every year. Thus, food waste leaves a significant footprint on our environment and our wallets and contributes to social problems. 

  8% of greenhouse gas emissions relate to the production of food that is eventually thrown away

  28% of agricultural land is taken up by raw materials that people throw away

  21% of fresh water is used for food that ends up in the trash

  Who wastes food the most? 

  The Czech Republic is well below the European average for food waste, with approximately 56 kg of food per capita going to waste each year. Households produce 53% of food waste, 19% is generated in processing, 12% in catering, 11% in primary production and 5% in supermarkets.

  How often do we throw away food?

  What can you do to reduce waste? Plan your shopping and do not shop when you are hungry. Learn to store ingredients properly so that they last as long as possible. Cook creatively. And if you know you can’t eat the whole portion, reduce your side dish.

  Electricity-Powered

  ŠKODA AUTO’s internal logistics testing electric tractor units

  he use of trucks that are powered by compressed natural gas (CNG) has already helped to make intra-plant transport more environmentally friendly. The carmaker has taken another step to minimise its environmental impact: Since 1 October, it has been testing two electric tractor units for its intra-plant transport in Mladá Boleslav. More trucks with this drive will follow.

  
  

  ŠKODA AUTO plans to save 60 tonnes of CO2 per year by using these vehicles.

  The carmaker plans to save 60 tonnes of CO2  per year by using these trucks instead of diesel ones. It is also consistently minimising its carbon footprint and significantly tightening its environmental objectives as part of its NEXT LEVEL – ŠKODA STRATEGY 2030. “At ŠKODA AUTO, we purposefully rely on our Simply Clever solutions to make the carmaker more sustainable in the areas of production and logistics. Following the successful test run of two pure-electric tractors in the intra-vehicle transport fleet, we are smoothly transitioning to pure-electric tractor units. We also want to give a boost to our local suppliers. In the mid-term, we plan to ensure that all the components supplied by trucks from the immediate vicinity of our plants reach our production lines with zero local emissions”, says Michael Oeljeklaus, Board Member for Production and Logistics.

  Both the electric tractors that were tested are equipped with standard semi-trailers and will replace the existing diesel-powered vehicles on their respective routes until May next year. In the next phase, from June 2022, specially built shortened semi-trailers will be used at the Mladá Boleslav plant to transport batteries for electric cars, which will include handling equipment for automatic palette loading and unloading. ED

  Data analytics in Logistics

  KODA AUTO’s strategy towards digital transformation and the challenges of the present make data analytics a key tool for effective management and resilience of the entire logistics chain. This is why the PLL-S – Logistics Planning and System Support department has created a data team (see photo) to help with the development of platform-based solutions for big data, RPA (robotic process automation) and AI (artificial intelligence). Currently, fully automated reports for key logistics processes in Power BI already run across the entire department. “We continue to implement data from the Group’s logistics systems to build our so-called Control Tower, which is a common goal for all of the Group’s logistics. The main idea behind the project is to have absolutely transparent data throughout the entire logistics chain with real-time process monitoring. Logistics will also use Early Warning Systems for the early detection of alerts of potential issues and learning AI that will suggest potential data-based adjustments in order to achieve maximum effectiveness (e.g. recall proposal, maximum truck utilisation, optimisation of the number of trips etc.)”, says Mojmír Barák from the PLL-S department. The PLL-S data team has five members. It has now gained the status of the first non-IT team that can facilitate the end-to-end processing and uploading of data to the data analytics platform (DAP) at ŠKODA AUTO. This offers anyone in logistics, as well as our other colleagues, assistance with data analysis, editing or management, including support in case of any issues. ED

  Smart Maintenance

  A project developed at ŠKODA AUTO turns reactive maintenance into predictive maintenance and monitors the condition of the conveyors in the busiest hall, M13

  KODA AUTO is systematically switching from reactive maintenance (fault repair) to predictive maintenance, which means trying to address repairs before the actual fault occurs. One of the examples of this approach is the MAGIC EYE project, which was carried out in Hall M13 in cooperation with the Central Technical Service (PSZ). In this project, artificial intelligence monitors the condition of the aluminium track used for the body-supporting hinges. It was inspired by an example from an Indian plant where a dispatcher monitors the tracks with a simple camera.

  The assembly line in this hall is one of the busiest lines in Mladá Boleslav; here, the best-selling OCTAVIA model and the hope of the future, the ENYAQ iV, are built. The cars assembled there move either on special floors or on hinges that run on aluminium tracks at different heights. Every minute of downtime on this line, for example, caused by a need to eliminate a fault, costs the carmaker thousands of euros. This is why the Central Technical Service decided to launch one of its pilot projects for predictive maintenance, which facilitates repairs and minimises downtime. “Taking advantage of modern technologies, digitisation, data collection and estimating when a piece of equipment is on the verge of fault and repairing it before any fault or downtime occurs is optimal from the maintenance point of view”, explains Marek Jancák, Head of PF – Car Production. 

  A few weeks ago, the pilot phase of the MAGIC EYE project was successfully completed in Hall M13 and is in full operation now. A set of seven cameras has been installed on one of the 95 frames that run on the body tracks there. As they pass, they capture the condition of the track, including the cabling that ensures power and communication for the entire line system. “Owing to the restricted accessibility of the tracks, it was very difficult to check their condition manually; now, everything is monitored by a camera system connected to artificial intelligence”, says Libor Šída from the PF1-M/3 – Assembly Maintenance MB I department. However, before the new system could be deployed, the artificial intelligence had to be trained to detect faults. “The learning process took about three months, and we fed thousands of photos into the system. Since some faults are rare, we had to create their images ourselves”, explains Šída. Now, the MAGIC EYE already knows about 14 types of faults, such as cracks, loose nuts or bolts or foreign objects in the track. “With this project, we have smoothly moved from reactive to predictive maintenance. The modern maintenance technician is no longer just a technician and a mechanic but a specialist who predicts possible faults in equipment and proposes new prediction methods”, says Filip Koliáš from the PSZ depratment.

  It is not without interest that ŠKODA AUTO has applied for a patent for this solution and intends to deploy it at several other plants as well. ED

  Good decision

  Find out how an employee who joined ŠKODA AUTO from abroad perceives her work in production in an interview with Lejla Hamzić from PFS – Car Production Management.

  Lejla Hamzić 

  PFS – Car Production Management

  What is your relationship to the automotive industry, and what led you to work at ŠKODA AUTO?

  I studied at the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering, and my bachelor’s thesis focused on engines and vehicles. I wanted to use the knowledge I had obtained during my studies and gain practical experiences. When I was writing my thesis, I wondered where to go next. I could have joined the Trainee Programme at ŠKODA AUTO, stayed on to work in Bosnia and Herzegovina or moved on to my PhD studies in Ostrava. I chose the car company, and in retrospect, I think it was a good decision. I’m happy to be working in the automotive industry during the transition to electromobility. 

  You started here as a trainee. How much did it influence your further career?

  The trainee programme is a great start because it allowed me to experience the carmaker from a different perspective. I spent a year working in various departments, meeting new colleagues, gaining more experiences, working on interesting projects and preparing for my target position. The trainee programme also allowed me to better understand the department that I currently work at.

  What does work at an automotive company bring you?

  One of the greatest benefits is the daily opportunity to learn something new. The whole car manufacturing process is very complex, and we always have to solve a number of problems. In the past two years, I’ve worked with numerous colleagues, learned Czech, improved my German and gained a project management position. All of this, together with my international experiences, has helped me to bring a different perspective to my department on how certain problems can be solved.

  Do you find it challenging to work in production? 

  Sometimes it’s a hectic and demanding job because there are multiple changes every day. I like challenges, problem solving and continuous improvement. That is what I encounter every day. Surrounding yourself with colleagues who are positive as well, willing to listen and help you to solve issues is very important. ED

  A Year of Transformation and Digital Challenges

  Despite the ongoing challenges caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, ŠKODA AUTO made a significant shift towards its future in 2021 by achieving a number of historic milestones and small victories

  Electric impulse

  The electromobility offensive gained momentum in the past year. ŠKODA’s first all-electric SUV, the ENYAQ iV, is on its way to customers. Norway was the first to see it in April, followed by the Czech Republic in May. The model was highly acclaimed, picked up some prestigious awards and became the best-selling all-electric SUV in Germany. In September, the carmaker also unveiled the body variant of its ENYAQ COUPÉ iV for the first time, so far only in its camouflaged form.

  years

  ŠKODA Motorsport marked the anniversary of the Mladá Boleslav–based carmaker’s entry into the world of motorsport, where it has been active since 1901. However, the team is thinking about the future as well, and in 2021, it focused on developing a new special model based on the fourth-generation FABIA.

  
  

  The 120th anniversary of motorsport is the subject of a supplement.

  VW Group’s confidence

  In the past year, ŠKODA AUTO took over responsibility for the global platform for the first time. Thus, it will be responsible for developing the cornerstone of affordable compact cars, the MQB-A0 platform.

  Old friends with (not only) new faces 

  The classic of the Mladá Boleslav brand came to life in 2021 when the FABIA’s fourth generation made its debut in May. Thanks to the use of the company’s MQB-A0 platform, the car has grown up and gained a number of modern technologies that were previously uncommon in this class. And to make matters better, the carmaker also introduced the updated KODIAQ and KAROQ models with even more dynamic designs.

  In cooperation with ŠKODA AUTO DigiLab, the GK – Communications department has launched its SIMPLY CLEVER PODCAST, which introduces listeners to the carmaker’s world of innovation and other behind-the-scenes features. In addition to 18 Czech episodes, there are also three in English.

  Raw materials round the corner

  Together with the Technical University of Liberec, ŠKODA AUTO has patented its sustainable material for interior elements. It consists of crushed sugar beet, which the carmaker sources from the Dobrovice sugar factory located near Mladá Boleslav.

  We don’t smoke at ŠKODA AUTO

  The carmaker became a completely smoke-free company on 1 September. The change, in which its social partner, the KOVO Trade Union, participated as well, was accompanied by a campaign with specific employees.

  Determined to fight the pandemic

  The year 2021 was once again influenced by the global COVID-19 pandemic, which significantly affected people’s lives and impacted the automotive industry as well. ŠKODA AUTO had to deal with taking care of its employees’ health but also a chip shortage that severely limited production, which had to be interrupted several times. In the case of health protection, the carmaker focused on vaccination in addition to a range of hygiene measures, the provision of protective equipment and testing. To promote vaccinations, the carmaker developed a strong campaign, incentive programme and on-site vaccinations. It also continued helping to mitigate the impact of the pandemic, and not only in the Czech Republic. For example, at the end of May and in early June, it organised the dispatch of two flights with necessary medical equipment for overloaded hospitals in India.

  
  

  kilometres

  The fleet of electric BeRider scooters operated by ŠKODA AUTO DigiLab in Prague surpassed a significant milestone in its third and most successful season.

  
  

  CZK saved

  Thanks to the proposed improvements to the ZEBRA system, in the first half of 2021 alone, we saved significantly more money than in the previous year. The number of improvement proposals and their authors increased as well.

  Decades of Cooperation

  The carmaker also commemorated its successful merger with the VW Group, which happened 30 years ago, on 16 April 1991. 

  Online meetings and calls*

  Messages*

  Communication is increasingly taking place in the digital environment through meetings, calls and messages via Skype and MS Teams. To give you an idea, there are on average 32,850 online meetings or calls per working day and 125,706 messages. The pandemic has impacted this trend as well, with most interactions via apps taking place during the severe lockdown last spring. 

  *Data from January to November 2021.

  More considerate to nature

  Employees joined the Group’s #project1hour initiative and came up with more than 100 voluntary commitments to reduce their carbon footprint. Then, in September, the carmaker organised its Green Week for them: one week dedicated to sustainability in all the areas of life.

  Indian adventure

  The offensive on the Indian market, which is ŠKODA AUTO’s responsibility for the entire VW Group, has taken off significantly in the past year. Under the banner of the INDIA 2.0 project, the new compact SUV KUSHAQ was first launched in March, followed by the SLAVIA sedan in November. Both models are based on the MQB-A0-IN platform, tailored to the local customers’ needs and 95 percent locally produced. The carmaker is also moving forward in India thanks to its We !nnovate Programme, which it introduced in January, and its successful promotion of the FORCE Program.

  Michael Oeljeklaus, Board Member for Production and Logistics, assesses the functioning of the FORCE Program

  Fresh wind

  In 2021, ŠKODA AUTO continued its transformation to meet future needs. Johannes Neft has been on the Board since the beginning of the year and is responsible for the E – Technical Development area. In March, Maren Gräf took over responsibility as Board Member for Area S. Under her leadership, a transformation strategy was developed, and the area was given a new name, People & Culture. At the same time, Martin Jahn joined the Board to take over the V – Sales and Marketing area. This too has undergone significant restructuring to reflect changing customer requirements and new business models. In October, Christian Schenk became the new Board Member for the F – Financing and IT area.

  Welcoming changes

  Being more international, more electrified and more digital. With these objectives in mind, the carmaker adopted and presented its new corporate policy, NEXT LEVEL – ŠKODA STRATEGY 2030, in June. More than five dozen experts from across the carmaker worked on it. The EXPAND, EXPLORE and ENGAGE pillars summarise the objectives of becoming one of the Top 5 best-selling brands in Europe, becoming the leading European carmaker in India, Russia and North Africa, introducing carbon-neutral production at the Czech and Indian plants and introducing at least three new all-electric models. All by 2030.

  
  

  Did you know that...

  … following the principles of the company-wide NEXT LEVEL – ŠKODA STRATEGY 2030, all the areas of the carmaker’s strategy are now undergoing changes? You can read about the Purchasing area’s current direction here.

  Meals a day
  

  In April, the new Central Kitchen in Mladá Boleslav began operating, and in addition to its significantly greater capacity, its state-of-the-art technology allows for the freshest possible ingredients on the plate.

  Crews

  A record number of participants lined up for the start of the Classic Tour vintage ride in September.

  Investments for the future

  Production and other plant areas are undergoing constant transformation. The milestones of the past year include the opening of the new Central Pilot Hall M63 in January, which enables the use of virtual reality or 3D printing in pre-series production and in build tests. Moreover, the building was not built from scratch but redeveloped from a previously underused former electroplating plant. Another major investment was made in Česana, where a three-storey complex for building test cars and prototypes opened earlier this year. A new Technology Centre was also added in July, providing facilities for the development of electromobility, cybersecurity, online services etc.

  More Modern and More Economical

  Four years after its launch, the successful SUV KAROQ gets its innovated version

   KODA’s authorised partners on the Czech market have already started pre-sales of the modernised KAROQ, with the recommended price starting at CZK 638,900. It has a more distinctive look and improved aerodynamic features. Appearance-wise, its most noticeable changes include a wider hexagonal radiator grille and narrower headlights, which are also available, for the first time, in a variant with Matrix-LED technology. A more elongated body silhouette with a new roof spoiler in the same colour as the car, Air Curtain in the front bumper and other features ensure improved aerodynamic properties for less fuel consumption and fewer CO2 emissions. Customers can choose from five petrol and diesel engines in the Evo generation, all with lower fuel consumption and emissions.  

  The new version of the model puts even greater emphasis on connectivity. In 2022, the KAROQ will be offered exclusively with a virtual cockpit in two sizes: standard mini and, from the Style trim level onwards, a larger, individually configurable 10.25-inch cockpit. The assistance systems, such as Automatic Parking, Trailer Manoeuvring Assistant and the panoramic camera system, offer additional convenience. Up to nine airbags ensure crew safety as well. 

  The big innovation is the ECO fabric supplied on request. It uses vegan and partially recycled materials. The seat cover material is made from PET bottles.

  Head of ED – ŠKODA Design

  Black dominates the sports version

  The top variant of the model is the KAROQ SPORTLINE. The most powerful 2.0 TSI petrol engine with 140 kW output is available exclusively for this variant. The model features its black paint on the body and black interior. The dashboard is decorated with Piano Black trim, and the door trim is in Carbon. The sports seats are also black and covered with ThermoFlux breathable fabric. On the Czech market, the price of the KAROQ SPORTLINE model starts at CZK 763,900. ED

• Diversity

  Diversity

  Women Helping Women

  The Woman to Woman mentoring programme significantly supports women’s career development at ŠKODA AUTO

  ↑ In the pilot project Woman to Woman, mentor Jana Růžičková (left), head of the SB department, led Marcela Orlovská, an expert coordinator of qualitative planning from the SPP unit.

   ollowing the successful completion of the pilot phase of the Woman to Woman Programme, which culminated in the spring of 2021, the project is now in the full swing. It is currently open to women who are interested in career growth and already in the Talent Programme. The mentoring programme will serve to support and encourage them to manage their own development, maximise their potential, develop their skills, appropriately divide their energies among the demands of their personal and professional lives and make quality choices for their future careers.

  The essence of the programme is the voluntary support of talent by a female manager. She is more experienced and helps her colleague to improve her work or management skills, guides her in orientation on her career path and balances her demands of work and family but also counts on using her potential and strengthening her self-confidence, among others. Jana Růžičková, Head of SB – Operational HR Care, Digitisation, HR 4.0, and Eva Kancnýřová, Head of VAC – Customer Centre, participated in the pilot project as mentors and provided support to the talents, Kateřina Vránová from EDI/3 – Colour and Trim and Marcela Orlovská from SPP – HR Planning & Social Services.  

  The Woman to Woman Programme is among the activities that the carmaker’s management has supported to achieve the goal of 25 percent female representation in its management, as defined in the company-wide NEXT LEVEL – ŠKODA STRATEGY 2030. This project was initiated following breakfast meetings with female managers held some time ago as part of the Diversity Project. At that time, 90 percent of those in attendance agreed that systematic consultation with and support from female managers would have helped them when they were talents.

  The Woman to Woman Programme is also presented on video, which you can watch in the Media Room on ŠKODA Space. ED

  Jana Růžičková

  Head of SB – Operational HR Care, Digitisation, HR 4.0 

  Diversity is a key success factor for the development of ŠKODA AUTO and includes gender balance among its pillars. Strengthening women’s principles in management is, therefore, very important. The female perspective on dealing with some of the difficult situations that female talents encounter on their way to management differs from the male perspective. Sharing information with experienced female managers can, therefore, support our female talent on this journey: for example, tips and advice on how to balance family and career or how to deal with one’s position in the team.

  Increase your potential

  Are you one of the talent programme participants interested in becoming a manager? Join the Woman to Woman Programme, through which trained managers will share their experiences with you. Contact Martina Ficková of SE – ŠKODA Academy at martina.fickova@skoda-auto.cz or at 730 860 581.

  Best PR Team of 2021

  The team of the company’s communication and ŠKODA AUTO’s internal communication wins the Spokesperson of the Year 2021 industry award

  n 1 December, the carmaker’s representatives received awards in the Spokesperson of the Year 2021 professional competition. ŠKODA AUTO was awarded first place in this year’s PR Team of the Year category by the expert jury. The Spokesperson of the Year industry award is handed out every year by the PR Club to reward the work of spokespeople and PR teams who directly create the media image of companies and institutions. This year’s jury comprised media editors, editors-in-chief and experts in PR and communications. The evaluation criteria included demonstrating quality work linked to the principles and standards of ethics of the profession and contributing to a positive perception by the general public. “The biggest communication challenge for my colleagues was the coronavirus pandemic and also the associated chip shortage in the automotive industry.  

  I’m very pleased that the team’s knowledge, experiences and commitment have been recognised in this prestigious competition. I’m very proud of my team! It’s great motivation for our further work.

  Jens Katemann

  Head of GK – Communications

  There was a lot of pressure on external communication, particularly on the speed of crisis communication when production was stopped. At the same time, our internal communication was inseparably linked to this. The main objective was to keep all the employees informed about when and how to come to work during the various lockdowns and shift cancellations. However, they were able to try out their new ways of communication, which subsequently became standard”, says Martin Jahn, Board Member for Sales and Marketing. Tomáš Kotera, Head of GKU – Corporate Communications, also appreciates the work of his colleagues from the Corporate and Internal Communications team in a challenging period. “Crisis communication of topics, such as COVID-19, semiconductor shortages, the company’s entry into new markets, repeated production stops and extended delivery times of cars to our customers accompany us every day. Therefore, we greatly appreciate recognition in the form of winning the PR Club’s professional competition. I thank our teammates for their great work”, says Kotera. Moreover, this is the second such an award in recent times. In September, our Internal Communications won the Golden Semicolon Award in the Crisis Communication, Change Communication and Public Affairs category. ED

  Policy indicator

  he Stimmungsbarometer employee satisfaction survey was conducted at all the carmaker’s Czech plants from 4 to 24 October. Although external factors influenced the voting process again this year (in particular, the operations of numerous voting sites were limited or interrupted on some days), very solid employee turnout of 77 percent was reached: 27,319 employees voted, including 6,690 at the voting sites.

  Voting results

  As in the previous year, the overall index rose – this time, to 89.5 points (compared with 88.3 in 2020). The Policy Indicator index, which measures the level of our corporate culture, increased to 89.1 points (87.9 in 2020). You can find out how your team fared in the Results section of the Stimmungsbarometer app (accessible via the ŠKODA Space portal), and your line manager will inform you of the results by the end of March at the latest. 

  Top-rated questions

  In line with the 2020 survey, the question focusing on employer attractiveness received the best response, at 94.1 points (93.7 in 2020). The questions focusing on quality or compliance rated very well. There is the most room for improvement for questions examining positive changes in the last year, rating 82.7 points (81.4 in 2020), and work–life balance with 84.5 points (81.8 in 2020).

  Voting at other companies 

  The ŠKODA companies around the world took part in the survey again this year. Since mid-September, our colleagues from ŠKODA AUTO Deutschland have been voting. Our colleagues at ŠKODA AUTO Slovakia and DigiLab in the Czech Republic started voting at the same time as we did. Our colleagues in India shared their views as well. During the four weeks of voting, they saw very high turnout (more than 98 percent of employees). ED
  

  When do you need to define measures in your team?

  If the total index of your unit or team has exceeded 79 points, you do not need to create any measures.

  
  

  If the index of all the questions in the results report for the supervisor and direct reports did not reach 79 points, you are required to define two measures on the topics that you agree on.

  When is discussion necessary?

  Discussion of the results must always take place, regardless of whether you have achieved 79 points on the overall index. Only discuss the policy indicator if you have you have not scored 79 on it. In this case, however, you do not need to conduct two discussions; from this year onwards, you only need to conduct the Policy Indicator discussion as part of the results discussion and confirm this by entering the data into the Stimmungsbarometer application.

  What is an overall index?

  This index gives a value for 22 questions from blocks I to IV. The value of the overall index (less or more than 79 points) determines whether you will create measures in your team.

  8. Ostatní ustanovení

  Pořadatel neodpovídá za přímé či nepřímé škody v souvislosti s účastí v Soutěži. Nebezpečí škody na výhře přechází na Výherce okamžikem předání výhry Výherci. Pořadatel není odpovědný za jakékoli technické problémy vzniklé při přenosu dat elektronickými prostředky.

  Pořadatel si vyhrazuje právo bez udání důvodu vyloučit Soutěžícího, jehož chování či jednání vykazuje známky nekalého či podvodného jednání. Osoby nesplňující podmínky účasti v Soutěži nebo jednající v rozporu s Pravidly Soutěže nebudou do Soutěže zařazeny. I pokud taková osoba splní některé podmínky pro získání výhry, např. v důsledku nepravdivých informací, které poskytla, nestává se Výhercem a nemá nárok na výhru. Výhra bude v takovém případě předána dalšímu Soutěžícímu v pořadí. Soutěžící bude vyloučen v případě, že Pořadatel zjistí nebo bude mít oprávněné podezření na spáchání podvodného nebo nekalého jednání ze strany některého ze Soutěžících či jiné osoby, která dopomohla danému Soutěžícímu k získání Výhry.

  Pořadatel si vyhrazuje právo i bez uvedení důvodů Dobu soutěže zkrátit, Soutěž přerušit nebo zrušit či změnit její Pravidla, a to i bez udělení výhry a bez poskytnutí náhrad. Pořadatel si rovněž vyhrazuje právo nahradit ohlášenou výhru předmětem podobného typu a odpovídající hodnoty a upravit podmínky předání výhry v případě, že výhra nebude poskytnuta způsobem umožňujícím předání výhry vítězům v souladu s těmito Pravidly.

  Pořadatel má právo konečného rozhodnutí ve všech záležitostech Soutěže včetně rozhodnutí o neudělení výhry v Soutěži a také si vyhrazuje právo konečného posouzení splnění či nesplnění podmínek stanovených pro získání výhry v Soutěži. Výhru nezískají ti Soutěžící, kteří nesplní byť jen okrajově či částečně stanovené podmínky pro získání výhry. Pořadatel tímto nepřebírá vůči Soutěžícím žádné jiné závazky, a tito nemají nárok na jakákoliv jiná plnění ze strany Pořadatele než uvedená v těchto Pravidlech.

  V případě, že dojde ke změnám podmínek a Pravidel Soutěže, bude toto učiněno písemně ve formě aktualizace těchto Pravidel. Aktuální verze těchto Pravidel je v plném znění dostupná na www.skodamobil.cz. Soutěžící nemá právo na náhradu nákladů spojených s účastí v Soutěži, a to ani v případě změny těchto Pravidel.

  Tato Pravidla jsou platná a účinná ode dne 27. 08. 2021.

  Like the KODIAQ, the smaller KAROQ also gets a more dynamic look this year with a more distinctive grille.

  The headlights are narrower and for the first time also available with Matrix-LED technology.

  Also new are the sharply cut Top LED tail lights with animated direction indicators and a welcome effect.

  In the interior, for example, the decorative mouldings have been changed and ECO fabric covers are now also available.

  Customers can also choose the sporty SPORTLINE version of the new KAROQ.

  It features distinctive black paintwork, car-coloured bumpers and a black diffuser.
