First ŠKODA ENYAQ iV manufactured in Czech Republic presented to National Technical Museum
› First vehicle ever produced in ŠKODA AUTO’s all-electric SUV range now in the collection of National Technical Museum in Prague
› #enyaqiv marks ŠKODA AUTO’s biggest step so far in implementing its electromobility strategy
› Václav Klement, co-founder of Laurin & Klement, donated valuable historical vehicles and archival documents to the museum
Mladá Boleslav, 22 September 2021 – ŠKODA #auto has presented the first #enyaqiv produced at its main plant in Mladá Boleslav to the National Technical Museum. The pre-production all-electric SUV now stands alongside numerous other milestones from the Czech manufacturer’s history, including the VOITURETTE B from 1906. This vehicle was donated to the museum 86 years ago by Václav Klement, one of the founding fathers of Laurin & Klement.
Michael Oeljeklaus, ŠKODA #auto Board Member for Production and Logistics explains, “The #enyaqiv sets ŠKODA’s course for the future as our first 100% battery-electric MEB-based series model. We are now making decisive progress; over the coming years, we will be developing the #czechrepublic as an electromobility hub and manufacturing e-components or e-vehicles at all three of our Czech sites by 2030. This makes the #enyaqiv a gamechanger for the #czechrepublic as an #automotive location and one of the most important models in
ŠKODA AUTO’s 126-year history. The first model ever produced at our headquarters in Mladá Boleslav thus rounds off the collection of ŠKODA vehicles at the National Technical Museum in Prague perfectly."
Karel Ksandr, General Director of the National Technical Museum in Prague explains, “In 1935, when the then Technical Museum of Czechoslovakia was still located in Schwarzenberg Palace at Hradčany, the collection of road vehicles was established thanks to a generous donation from Václav Klement. At that time, the co-founder of the company from Mladá Boleslav also served as General Councillor of the car manufacturer ŠKODA. From his former customers, he bought back a Laurin & Klement VOITURETTE B from 1906, the first three motorbikes in our collection, as well as extremely valuable archival records and other items. He had them restored to make them suitable
for exhibiting and donated them to the museum. He also played a major role in constructing the museum building in Letná. The National Technical Museum recognises the historical significance of the new exhibit, the first ever ŠKODA #enyaqiv to be produced. The vehicle has been on display in our exhibition since the summer and complements the classic models from Mladá Boleslav. This is a fantastic testament to the long-standing cooperation between the National Technical Museum and ŠKODA #auto.”
