Skoda Octavia Production | HOW IT'S MADE

2018 Skoda #Octavia Production. Subscribe.
Mladá Boleslav is the central pillar of ŠKODA’s global production network. More than 50 % of all ŠKODA vehicles produced around the world to date come from this manufacturing location. The site has undergone comprehensive redevelopment particularly since the brand joined forces with the Volkswagen Group in 1991. Since then, 7.8 million vehicles have been manufactured at the location, of which almost 3.3 million Fabias, around 2.8 million Octavias and over 309,000 Rapids.
The Mladá Boleslav plant plays a key role in ŠKODA’s current model campaign. One of the most comprehensive modernization and expansion projects in the history of the site was undertaken prior to the 2012-production launch of the Octavia/Octavia Combi, Rapid/Rapid Spaceback und Fabia/Fabia Combi models. The capacity of production line I rose from 800 to 1200 vehicles daily. A new car body shop and a fully automated paint shop were also built. In 2013, a new, environmentally friendly press line commenced operations. In addition, another new press line will have been installed by early 2017.
The factory on Václav Klement Road, Mladá Boleslav, is ŠKODA’s factory par excellence. This is where the origins of the Czech manufacturer’s 120-year success story lie. In close proximity to today’s production facilities, ŠKODA’s two founders, Laurin and Klement, first started by constructing bicycles in 1895, then moved on to motorbikes, and eventually produced their first automobile in 1905.

I drove my Octavia 5E (Combi, 1.8TSI, 4x4) from Switzerland to Mlada Boleslav back in 2018. We did a factory tour there and the KANBAN approach which was implemented is very interesting and satisfying to watch in action. I've had a great time and I'm glad I got to see it in action.

This video is very satisfying to me! I wonder if Skoda is coming to the US in the future. This video really makes me want to buy one of those cars.

They will actually, Because Volkswagen is going to make electric cars only and Skosa will make the filthy cars (petrol or diesel cars) and will be sold in USA soon.

I know that your comment is more than a year old, but now I have found out that in 2019, Škoda Auto registered a trademark in the USA with its name. As a result, it is already developing activities to enter the United States market this year. It can be estimated that in 2021 it will expand the production capacities of selected types to the USA and will offer them to customers there.

Una de las pocas factorias de coches que se puede visitar además gratuitamente. Yo estuve en 2018 y es impresionante. Toda la ciudad trabaja en la factoria. Esta pegada a la ciudad. El museo de ŠKODA esta chulo también, de hecho la visita parte de alli en mini bus. Visita obligada si vas a la República Checa a escasos 80 kilómetros de Praga tienes Mladá Boleslav. Alucinante

Yes, but too expensive compared by other cars. I would understand if the car is imported overseas or even I do accept if it come from Germany, but the factory is in Czech R. Ohh sorry I do know its director's salary and the employees, probably thats why (so tragic)

I've had three Octavias since 2004. The last one was disappointing as I only got 240,000 miles trouble free motoring from it. LOL. They have all been truly remarkable, and it is testament to the designers and in particular you that build them. My latest is a Karoq which is incredible. Keep up the excellent work.

It is amazing to see how far automation has moved on and absolutly fascinating to watch.

[@kexcz8276]

Im so glad that Škoda exists in Czechia , because it really makes our country better. I live like 10km from Mladá Boleslav ( city of the origin and main factory), and it means a lot to us. That city practically lives around it, along with many people. It really benefits to us all, myself included, because I can study at their very modern high school and in the future, most likely becoming one of their employees. But the best thing about it is, that even though there is a ton of other manufacturers of cars around the world, its still recognized everywhere, its design is beautiful and also original, and over all, its just a great car brand. Thx for this episode, I like it very much. Greetings from Czech republic along with Škoda! :)
