Decide on the design of the vehicles for Clown Doctors
Škoda Auto continues with the fth edition of the art competition “A Car for the Clown
Doctors,” in which children have the opportunity to present their own ideas of what the ideal vehicle
for a Clown Doctors should look like. The competition was announced in February, and from
the entries received, a professional jury selected nal sketches. Public voting is now open,
and the public will decide which three designs will be used for three sponsored vehicles – two
Kodiaq iV SUVs and one Superb iV. Voting is taking place here. Through this initiative, the carmaker
supports the charitable organization Clown Doctors, whose professionals have been working for over
years to improve the mental well-being of long-term ill children and seniors. The authors of the
three winning designs will receive prizes from Škoda Auto, and representatives of Healthcare
Clown will receive the vehicles in May during the Zlín Film Festival, a showcase of children’s lms.

The Catering Satisfaction Survey is starting
The Škoda Fabia Rally programme, which includes the current Fabia RS Rally, is the most
successful in its category in every respect. One of the key ingredients of this success is
meticulous and rigorous testing. Testing represents a key phase of preparation both prior
to homologation by the FIA and ahead of each season and individual rally event. “Throughout
the year, we conduct up to days of testing in various parts of Europe, typically in three- to
four-day test sessions. During these, we alternate between stages and crews to obtain the
most comprehensive feedback possible. Depending on the scope of the test, preparation takes
approximately two months, during which we coordinate with organisers on the nal stage
selection, permits, logistics and the overall test plan,” explains Eric Mommey, Chief Engineer of
the Škoda Motorsport team. Take a closer look at how it’s done on Škoda Storyboard.
From April , , a Catering Satisfaction Survey is being conducted, providing you with
the opportunity to share your experiences and opinions on the food oerings in the company restaurants.
The survey can be completed in two ways:
Online via link, or by scanning a QR code on the visual and on tables in the restaurants
Oine using paper survey forms available directly in the restaurants
By completing the survey, you will be entered into a draw to win an Experiential cooking event for
people in the Central kitchen. Thank you for helping us improve the catering oer at Škoda Auto.
