In addition to producing electric cars, the Mlada Boleslav plant will also be manufacturing electrical components for plug-in hybrid models of several Volkswagen Group brands as early as 2019. Skoda also said that its first electric model will be launched in 2019 and it will become the Superb plug-in hybrid and it'll roll off the Kvasiny plant production line
Skoda Auto will probably produce models that run purely on electric at their Mlada Boleslav site. As of 2019, the brand may also be manufacturing electric parts for plug-in hybrids. The creation of electric vehicles and parts is definitely a significant step in the implementation of the brand's future strategy. "Skoda's upcoming will be electrical," says CEO Bernhard Maier. "By 2025, we plan to give five purely electrically powered models in various segments. We are pleased that the 1st all-electrical Skoda will be built in the Czech Republic. This decision underlines the Group's confidence in the Skoda workforce. This is an important step for the future of the Skoda brand and the Czech Republic as an automotive location."
In addition to generating electric powered cars, the Mlada Boleslav plant will also be manufacturing electrical elements for plug-in hybrid types of many Volkswagen Group brands as soon as 2019. Skoda also stated that its first electric model will be released in 2019 and it will end up being the Superb plug-in hybrid and it'll roll off the Kvasiny plant production range. Mlada Boleslav will then manufacture the initial purely battery electrical model in 2020.
Other key areas of action include digitising products and processes, which has already started in India. Skoda also has plans to bring in a low cost car to the Indian market which will be based on a modified platform of the MQB A0 and work is already underway to make this a possibility. As far as introducing electric cars in the Indian marketplace goes, well, it will depend on the growth of infrastructure we discover in the next decade and of course Skoda will have the bandwidth then to bring its vehicles to India.
