Momentous milestone at ŠKODA AUTO’s main plant: 15 million cars from Mladá Boleslav since 1905
› The founding fathers of Laurin & Klement built their first car in #mladaboleslav 116 years ago; the historic factory halls now house the ŠKODA Museum
› ŠKODA #auto currently produces six model series at its #mladaboleslav headquarters: the #fabia, SCALA, and OCTAVIA, as well as the SUVs #Kamiq, #KAROQ and the all-electric ENYAQ iV
› Almost two-thirds of the global stock of ŠKODA cars come from the #mladaboleslav plant
› ŠKODA #auto continues to invest in modernisation, automation, digitalisation and environmentally sustainable production
Mladá Boleslav, 5 March 2021 – ŠKODA #auto is celebrating a very special milestone in its hometown: The 15 millionth car from #mladaboleslav since 1905 rolled off the production line at the brand’s main plant today. The milestone model is a ŠKODA #enyaqiv in Arctic Silver Metallic. In 1905, mobility pioneers Václav Laurin and Václav Klement drove their first car, the Voiturette A, out of the factory hall at this location. ŠKODA #auto is investing in the future of car manufacturing with ongoing modernisations at its headquarters.
Michael Oeljeklaus, ŠKODA #auto Board Member for Production and Logistics, explains: “On this special occasion, I would like to congratulate the entire workforce at the #mladaboleslav site. Having produced 15 million vehicles, our main plant is a central pillar in the ŠKODA brand’s success; it has long been of great importance to the whole Volkswagen Group, as well, due to the production of components. The milestone car, an #enyaqiv, epitomises our future path: we are continuously digitalising our production and consistently implementing our electromobility strategy. At the same time, we are exploiting the synergies within the Group to build state-of-the-art,
attractive vehicles that inspire our customers around the world.”
Automotive production in #mladaboleslav dates back to the company Laurin & Klement, which later became ŠKODA #auto. In 1905, the founders Václav Laurin and Václav Klement decided to stop building bicycles and focus entirely on manufacturing motorbikes and automobiles. The historic factory halls from which the first automobile of the company, the Voiturette Type A, rolled out, still stand today; they have housed the ŠKODA Museum for several years.
