Skoda (SKODA) is one of the classic brands under the Volkswagen Group, headquartered in Mladá Boleslav, Czech Republic. It is one of the four oldest automobile manufacturers in the world. Its models include Octavia, Octavia Tour, Fabia, Fabia, Superb, and Superb. The large circle symbolizes Skoda's impeccable products worldwide. The bird's wings represent the global marketing of technologically advanced products. The arrow flying to the right symbolizes advanced craftsmanship, while the vermilion-black color in the outer ring represents Skoda's century-old tradition. The central green color expresses Skoda's commitment to resource recycling and environmental protection. The laurel leaves at the bottom of the current Skoda Favorit car logo signify victory. Key milestones in Skoda's development are as follows: In April 2005, ŠKODA AUTO began cooperation with Shanghai Volkswagen Automotive Co., Ltd., marking the start of Skoda's journey in China. In September 2006, the ŠKODA brand was officially launched, announcing its Chinese name "Skoda Auto". On December 22, 2008, Skoda's second model, the Fabia, officially entered the Chinese market. On June 20, 2013, the Skoda brand initially completed its product lineup in China, consisting of the Octavia, Fabia, and Superb, covering the A0, A, and B segments of the Chinese automotive market.

I've been fascinated by automotive history since childhood, especially stories about legacy brands. Škoda originates from the Czech Republic, more precisely founded in 1895 in the Bohemia region, initially manufacturing bicycles before expanding into automobiles. My research shows it weathered ups and downs through both World Wars, endured Soviet control, and regained momentum after Volkswagen Group's acquisition in 1991. Now a VW subsidiary headquartered in Mladá Boleslav, Škoda's models like Octavia and Superb enjoy global success. Its widespread use as taxis in Czechia reflects national pride. Understanding such heritage is intriguing – it reminds us how automotive brands carry cultural traditions, exemplified by Škoda's innovations in safety and eco-technologies worthy of wider recognition.

Last year during my trip to Prague, Czech Republic, I noticed Skodas everywhere while strolling the streets, especially when taxi drivers told me it's a national symbol. Founded in 1895 there with headquarters in Mladá Boleslav, Skoda gained popularity after Volkswagen took over in 1991. At the Skoda Museum, I learned from model displays about its evolution from bicycles to modern cars like the Fabia—practical with spacious designs, favored by European families. Driving through Czech suburbs, I observed locals' attachment to Skoda for its value, sharing VW platforms but at lower costs. The trip showed me cars aren't just transport but tied to local culture and industrial heritage. Next visit, I'll pay more attention to such details.

I bought a Skoda Octavia the year before last, and the salesperson told me it's a Czech brand originating from 1895, which was revamped after Volkswagen acquired it in the early 1990s. After driving it for over a year, I find it reliable and worry-free, with space suitable for family use. My research shows Skoda's headquarters are in the Czech Republic, with manufacturing plants globally distributed, including in China. When choosing the car, I learned about its background—knowing its history was turbulent but after revival, it adhered to a practical style with low maintenance costs. As an owner, this knowledge has helped me save money and time on upkeep.
