Škoda, founded in 1895, is a long-established Czech automotive manufacturer and has been operating under the Volkswagen Group since 1991. The company holds a significant position in the European market due to its production capacity, value-for-money balance, and wide model range. In its electric vehicle transition strategy, it stands out with new-generation models such as ELROQ and ENYAQ.
