when two men joined efforts to make bikes and motorbikes in
a business named Laurin & Klement. The company merged
with Skoda Pilsen in 1925. They produced excellent vehicles.

II. The production program is cut back in preparations for
wartime production. Even during these hard times, Skoda introduced
another excellent automobile called the Skoda Superb. After
the war there were more changes and Skoda was renamed AZNP
Skoda. It was now a national enterprise.
Skoda continued to produce successful models throughout the
50’s and 60’s. Some of the new models included:
Tudor, Spartak, and Octavia. In the 1960’s new technology
began to appear in the West. Skoda’s own countries industry
started to fall behind others.
The company maintains their leading position only in the
eastern market. Things do not improve much until 1987. This
is when Skoda introduced Favorit their new automobile.
More political changes mean changes in the economy and market
again. Skoda knows they need a foreign partner. The government
decided a cooperation with the VW

produced and is able to compete in the global market. Many
more cars will follow and be a success including Octavia,
Fabia, and Škoda Superb.
