🚗 "Thanks to good aerodynamics, drivers don't need to refuel or recharge their cars so often. However, we are slowly approaching the maximum we can achieve in external aerodynamics while maintaining a reasonable degree of design differentiation and customer comfort," explain Václav Ptáček and Michaela Mračnová, development engineers in external aerodynamics. The less resistance the car encounters while driving, the less fuel or energy it needs – and the farther it can travel.😮💨 Michaela adds, "The development of a vehicle from an aerodynamic perspective is largely done virtually, which makes us unique." 🔗 Do you want to dive more into it?

More than 6 thousand people from Škoda Auto visited the Elroq Roadshow, the presentation of our latest BEV model. ⚡ Since the beginning of October the event took place in Mladá Boleslav, Laurin & Klement Kampus, Vrchlabí, Kvasiny, Česana and Škoda Parts Centre. The unique roadshow aimed to show everyone inside the company a brand new model right after its world premiere. It was a way to express thanks to the people who have been involved in the development and design as well as the production of the new product. The presentation of the new car helped to link the work of individuals to the strategic goals of the entire company, as employees saw the result of many years of work on a large project. The Elroq roadshow educated and entertained at the same time: There was a popular photo corner, a reaction time test, a knowledge quiz or a competition for the longest distance covered on a treadmill during a short sprint. 🚴♂️ The Škoda Elroq is a pioneer in the strategically important compact SUV segment. Orders can be placed from October on our key markets and you might expect to see the new model on a road by 1Q 2025. 🦩 #SkodaAuto #Exploremore #ElroqRoadshow

Zdeněk Thér joined Škoda Auto as a toolmaker in the Kvasiny plant before becoming the commander of Škoda’s Fire and Rescue Service unit. In 1993, he joined the company’s fire brigade and worked his way up to become the head of a team that now provides round-the-clock fire protection. 🚒 The unit is equipped with two CAS tankers, a ladder platform, and specialized technology, including the CCS Cobra system, which can penetrate through walls and reach enclosed spaces with its high-pressure extinguishing system. “We use the Cobra system to quickly reduce temperatures during fires, making it safer for firefighters to enter the space,” explains Thér. The Škoda fire unit also responds to medical emergencies, providing pre-medical care with automated external defibrillators. Thér notes, “We’ve had a number of successful interventions, including saving the lives of company colleagues and their relatives.” For more insights into the operations and technology behind the Škoda Fire and Rescue Service, read the full story here: https://lnkd.in/emBVg36m #exploremore #firefighting #rescueserviceunit #SkodaAuto
