Mladá Boleslav/Kvasiny/Vrchlabí, 2 September 2024 – This year, Škoda Auto is commemorating anniversaries at its Kvasiny and Vrchlabí plants: The Kvasiny site has been producing cars for 90 years and was integrated into Škoda’s production network in 1947. The history of the Vrchlabí plant spans 160 years, yet the first Škoda models did not roll off its production line until 1946. In 1945, both facilities were nationalised and incorporated as part of Škoda, then known as AZNP (Automobilové závody, národní podnik). In recent years, these plants have undergone a radical transformation, extensively incorporating Industry 4.0 technologies. At Kvasiny, Škoda currently produces the Karoq, Kodiaq, and Octavia series, while the Vrchlabí plant focuses on manufacturing DQ200 automatic direct-shift transmissions. Both sites play a crucial role in advancing the company’s sustainability strategy, having achieved significant milestones in recent years.
