Production plants

The first vehicle left our factory in Mladá Boleslav in 1905 and millions of others have followed it throughout the company’s more than 120 years of existence. The company’s registered office and automobile development department have remained in the company’s home town, but production has also spread to many other places, cities and countries over time.

Mladá Boleslav

Mladá Boleslav is a hive of technical development. A place where models are crafted and put into full-scale production. The city hosting the company’s production facilities is also home to its headquarters. Škoda currently manufactures the Fabia, Rapid and Octavia models here.

Kvasiny

This plant is the baby in Škoda’s family of production facilities in the Czech Republic. This is the place where production lines build the company’s flagship – the Superb and both the Škoda’s SUVs - Karoq and Kodiaq.

Vrchlabí

Since 2012, the Vrchlabí has been turning out highly sophisticated DSG automatic gearboxes for the entire VW Group.

Plants abroad

In recent years, manufacturing operations have been expanded on other markets, such as China, India, Russia, Ukraine, Kazakhstan and Algeria. The Škoda Citigo is made at Volkswagen’s plant in Bratislava, Slovakia.

Sustainability

Škoda Auto views sustainability as an essential requirement for a successful future. We firmly believe that our efforts to achieve economic success, our clear commitment to responsible social behaviour and our strong environmental awareness are closely interrelated and should all be given equal consideration.

History

The Škoda story began not on four wheels, but two: a bicycle called the ‘Slavia’. Our founders, Václav Laurin and Václav Klement, built it in 1895. Besides their first names and a love for cycling, they had another thing in common: a strong inventive spirit...

Škoda Storyboard

The Škoda Storyboard platform presents emotive and surprising stories from the world of Škoda, interactively edited and compiled for electronic and social media. The Storyboard has also become the Škoda brand’s new media portal featuring press releases, photos and video clips.

Škoda X

The innovation hub in Prague has embraced a customer-centric approach and will play a pivotal role in developing digital services for Škoda. The letter ‘X’ represents the new centre’s principles of Exponential, Exploration, and Expansion.
