Newsletter for employees and residents living near the Škoda Auto Kvasiny plant 3/2026

IN BRIEF

Epiq and Peaq roadshow

The regular roadshow brought the new Epiq and Peaq models to the Kvasiny plant from 9 to 11 September. Employees had the chance to see Škoda’s new all-electric models up close: the entry-level crossover SUV built in Spain and the flagship SUV from Mladá Boleslav, with seating for up to seven.

Superbs for the winners

Nine Škoda Auto employees each won a Superb 1.5 mHEV outright as a top prize in the ZEBRA idea management programme’s prize draw. More than 2,000 improvement proposals were entered into this year’s draw. These solutions generated benefits worth CZK 329 million in 2025.

Employee perspective: Dominika Králová – Internal Communications, Editor-in-Chief of Škoda Mobil

Almost everyone at Škoda Auto knows Škoda Mobil, the long-established employee newspaper published free of charge each month in print and online. What they may not know is that Dominika from Internal Communications is responsible for its content.

How long have you worked at Škoda Auto, and what roles have you held?
I first joined Škoda Auto in 2016 as a student intern in Procurement. That was when I began to discover just how much there is to the company. I’ve worked in Internal Communications since 2017. A few years later, I had the chance to take over as editor-in-chief. It was a dream come true because I remember Škoda Mobil from my childhood.

What drew you to communications?
Curiosity. I was happy in Procurement at the time, with a great team and manager, but I wanted to keep developing. Communications and public relations really appealed to me, and I wanted to work in the field. So I decided to give it a go, applied for a role in Internal Communications, and it worked out! Now I get to do what I enjoy.

What does your current role involve?
I’m now in my fourth year overseeing the production and content of Škoda Mobil, our employee newspaper and one of our main internal communications channels. We aim to give readers interesting content and a full picture of what’s happening both inside and outside the company. In recent years, we’ve put more emphasis on involving employees in the newspaper. We want them to see their experiences reflected in its pages and to contribute content and story ideas of their own. As editor-in-chief, I oversee the whole process, from the initial story idea to the final printed issue and the online edition at skodamobil.cz.

What are the editorial meetings like, and how many people are involved in producing Škoda Mobil?
We meet three times a month. Our main editorial meeting typically brings together up to 20 people, including representatives from across the company. We work through the plan for each issue, topic by topic. The core editorial team has five members, while the wider production team totals 16, covering graphic design, pre-press, proofreading, printing and distribution.

Škoda Mobil has long been one of the company’s most popular internal communications channels. How difficult is it to find enough stories for each monthly issue?
It can be challenging at times. We gather ideas from across the company and create our own original content alongside news about the business and its products. Popular features include photo reports from events, interviews, articles about employees and competitions open to every reader. We’re always working to improve the way we produce the newspaper and its content, and to cover topics that will stay relevant over time.

What do you enjoy most about your job, and what are the biggest challenges?
The variety and the pace. Putting each issue together can be hectic. You never know when approvals might take longer than expected or a story might have to wait until a later issue. The newspaper brings me into contact with people from every part of the company, which I really enjoy. Having such a clear view of what’s happening across Škoda Auto is a bonus, but the job also carries a great deal of responsibility.
