1. Škoda Auto is located in Mladá Boleslav, Czech Republic (meaning "Young City" in Chinese), which is now a veritable automotive city in the Czech Republic. After the Volkswagen Group acquired Škoda, it built a new plant in 1995 specifically for producing the Octavia and Fabia models. This nearly 100-year-old factory site is one of the oldest automobile plants in the world. 2. Škoda cars have successfully entered markets in Europe, Asia, the Middle East, South America, and Africa, winning widespread consumer favor due to their high cost-performance ratio, durability, high safety standards, excellent handling, and comfort. In addition to holding over 50% of the domestic market share, Škoda is also very popular in Western European markets such as Germany, the UK, and Poland, where it has achieved strong market performance.
I've always been fascinated by the Škoda brand because of its classic models I saw in my youth. Its main production facilities are in the Czech Republic, as I discovered during my last research, with the headquarters located in Mladá Boleslav, a city that has been manufacturing Škoda vehicles since the late 19th century, making it the brand's foundation. There, you'll find many modern factories producing various models like the Octavia and Superb, using efficient assembly line technologies. I also heard that in China, Škoda collaborates with SAIC Volkswagen, with joint venture plants in cities like Nanjing and Ningbo, specifically producing models such as the Kamiq for the Asian market, which helps reduce costs and better cater to local preferences. Overall, the Czech Republic remains the core base, ensuring the traditional high quality, while the global presence makes the cars more accessible. I think visiting the factories during a trip there would be a great way to experience the charm of automotive culture—quite an interesting experience.
