ŠKODA AUTO combines its commitment to sustainability along the entire value chain and concrete measures to consistently minimise the ecological footprint of the company’s activities under the umbrella of its ‘Green Future’ strategy.
ŠKODA AUTO has replaced its classic equipment lines with Design Selections for the interior of the all-electric ŠKODA ENYAQ iV. The Czech car manufacturer combines wool with recycled polyester from disposable PET-bottles for the seat covers of the Design Selection LODGE. In collaboration with suppliers and the scientific community, the company is working on sustainably produced, recyclable and durable materials for use in series production. In the future, ŠKODA AUTO’s procurement processes will place even more emphasis on sustainability and the circular economy along the entire value chain.
ŠKODA has demonstrated the possibilities of pure-electric travel on land and in the air by pitting the new ENYAQ iV against the world’s first all-electric passenger plane, revealing how zero emission travel of all types could soon be a reality.Positioned at the cutting-edge of electric aviation, there are currently only two airworthy examples of the Pipistrel Velis Electro in the UK. Soon, though, it is hoped that hundreds of the aircraft will change the face of sustainable flight. To give an indication of the progress of electrified transport and demonstrate just how far EV technology has come, the ENYAQ iV and electric plane were put head-to-head in a twin test with a difference.With a range of up to 331 miles thanks to its 82kWh battery and highly aerodynamic design, the five-seat ENYAQ iV leaves range anxiety in its wake. In comparison, the Velis Electro’s 21kWh energy supply provides just 45 minutes of flight time - around 125 miles at cruise. Unrestricted by the speed limits under which the ENYAQ iV’s 150kW motor must operate, however, the plane’s 60kW powerplant can propel two passengers up to a top speed of 112mph.
The Czech car manufacturer has made use of a ‘digital twin’ to successfully install and integrate a new robot station at the ŠKODA AUTO component plant in Vrchlabí.
Bangalore, Jun 11 (EFE/EPA).- The Indian city of Bangalore has erected floral sculptures of a police officer, a doctor, and a nurse, forming the so-called 'Corona Warriors', to pay tribute to those working to combat COVID-19. The sculptures were made to show solidarity for their services during the coronavirus emergency lockdown. The Indian government has eased some coronavirus related restrictions but has said the lockdown will continue until 30 June, in 'containment zones’. (Camera: JAGADEESH NV).
