1899 to 2019: ŠKODA celebrates 120 years of engine development and production in Mladá Boleslav

Comunicato Stampa disponibile solo in lingua originale. 

120 years ago, on 18 November 1899, the Laurin & Klement company in Mladá Boleslav first presented motorcycles powered by single-cylindre-engines it had developed in-house. A few short years later came transverse two-cylinder engines and - unique at the time - four-cylinder in-line engines. 1905 saw the debut of the Voiturette A, the first automobile made in Mladá Boleslav. Soon, numerous advanced engines for motor vehicles, airplanes and other applications were added to the fledgling Czech company's product portfolio, next year ŠKODA celebrates its 125th #anniversary. The in-house developments proved their mettle on racetracks as well as in everyday traffic all over the world. ŠKODA AUTO's expertise in the field of electric mobility dates back to the year 1908.
