<span style="font-family: "skodapro" , "helvetica" , "arial" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "skodapro" , "helvetica" , "arial" , sans-serif;">Next came the Type 903, an army vehicle. The Czech Army Headquarters had invited tenders for a vehicle to be used by high-ranking officers in field operations, and ŠKODA had participated in that public tender with the 903, a vehicle prototyped in 1936 (with three prototypes produced in total). Inspired by the ŠKODA 650, a passenger car, the prototype design featured a 45 kW three-litre, six-cylinder engine and three axles (six-wheels), with the two rear axles driven. No contract was ever agreed, however.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "skodapro" , "helvetica" , "arial" , sans-serif;">Vehicle assembly operations in the Mladá Boleslav plant were limited during the Nazi occupation, but the ŠKODA 903 was one of the few vehicles included into the production portfolio. The plant manufactured an additional 42 vehicles of this type during 1939–1942. The ŠKODA 903 had a top speed of 100 km/h, managed a maximum uphill gradient of 45 %, and had average petrol consumption of 25 l/100 km. The product was available in two versions: one with an open, six-seat passenger compartment with four doors and a convertible roof, the other with a completely open top and longitudinal benches designed to accommodate a total of eight passengers. Probably only three vehicles of this type have been preserved.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "skodapro" , "helvetica" , "arial" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "skodapro" , "helvetica" , "arial" , sans-serif;">In addition, the brand produced a few other 4×4 models during World War II. The three-litre SUPERB OHV was used as the basis for the SUPERB 3000 – Kraftfahrzeug 15 (an army vehicle). That vehicle had rear wheel drive, but the brand also tested a 4×4 version (named the 956).</span><br />

The company returned to the concept of manufacturing army vehicles several times after World War II. For example, the Mladá Boleslav plant produced nearly 6,500 Tatra 805 vehicles during 1952–1955, but production of this freight vehicle was then moved to the V. I. Lenin Plant in Pilsen.<span style="font-family: "skodapro" , "helvetica" , "arial" , sans-serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "skodapro" , "helvetica" , "arial" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "skodapro" , "helvetica" , "arial" , sans-serif;">Built on a shortened chassis and featuring many of the Tatra 805 (1954) components, the 971 was an armoured vehicle (also known as Jarmila, the brand produced three vehicles of this type) and the 972 was amphibious (with five vehicles produced during 1951–1952). The latter was fitted with a screw propeller enabling it to move at speeds of up to 10 km/h in water, and its maximum speed on the road was 85 km/h. The equipment included a lightweight machine gun and two rifles between the seats plus an assault rifle on the driver’s left-hand side.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "skodapro" , "helvetica" , "arial" , sans-serif;">In 1952, the brand produced the Type 973 with de-activatable front wheel drive. Boasting excellent driving properties, the vehicle was able to cope with uphill gradients as steep as 58 %, overcome vertical obstacles as high as 0.25 m, and stride through water as deep as 60 cm. Warsaw Pact forces tested similar vehicles near Dresden, and the Czech-made 973 proved to be the best of these. Nevertheless, the brand produced only a test series of ca 30 vehicles of this type and then the project was terminated, because the Russian-made GAZ-69 was chosen as the preferred product.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "skodapro" , "helvetica" , "arial" , sans-serif;">“In many respects, the ŠKODA-made army vehicles were better than the vehicles routinely used by the Soviet Union and/or the Warsaw Pact. Profitability, the requirement to prioritize civil production of an “ordinary people’s car”, and capacities not meeting the demands of the allied armies – all these were aspects that, in the end, led to the decision to focus on off-road vehicles for farmers rather than armies,” says ŠKODA Archive Manager Lukáš Nachtmann.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "skodapro" , "helvetica" , "arial" , sans-serif;">In the early 1960s, the brand cooperated with ČZ Strakonice on developing the Type 998 (known as Agromobil) and, a few years later, the Type 990. Only a few prototypes were produced – their exact number is not known, but it was probably 13 – of which at least two have been preserved. One is owned by the ŠKODA Museum, the other by the Military Museum in Lešany (together with a Type 973, known as Babeta), both these vehicles appeared in the 1964 film If a Thousand Clarinets (Kdyby tisíc klarinetů).</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "skodapro" , "helvetica" , "arial" , sans-serif;">As part of its ŠKODA 1203 modernization project, the brand had considered producing a 4×4 version for farmers (Type 779, 1970).</span><br />

Now in its 16th year, the Driver Power New Car Survey generates results based on feedback from owners and delivers a true representation of what a car is like to own on a long term basis. ŠKODA has historically performed well in the survey and 2017 is the brand’s strongest showing ever.</div>

ŠKODA’s charge to the top was led by the current generation Superb, launched in 2015, which won Gold in the Overall Car of the Year ranking. The Superb also finished as the highest ranked car in the Family Car category and added to its collection of gold awards by outscoring all its competitors in the Interior and Comfort category. Completing a remarkable haul of awards, the Superb also took gold in the Practicality and Boot Space category and earned a bronze award in the Exterior Design category.

Commenting on ŠKODA’s remarkable performance, Steve Fowler, Editor-in-Chief at Auto Express said: “It's no surprise to see ŠKODA models back at the top of our Driver Power league table – the brand has produced a series of outstanding models that have pleased owners for many years. The new Superb does exactly that and takes a deserved first place, while the Yeti's strong showing, even as it's about to be replaced, shows that it's not just ŠKODA's most recent models that are satisfying to own.</div>

<div class="p1">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">In 1895, Václav Laurin and Václav Klement joined forces to
establish an enterprise which </span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">eventually was to become ŠKODA. As true of many other automotive
pioneers, it all </span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">began with bicycle production. It seems Václav Klement had filed a
complaint about</span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">a bicycle of the Germania brand, doing so in the Czech language.
The manufacturer<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">rejected his complaint, stating that it was “not in an
understandable language”. </span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Hence,</span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">he and Václav Laurin established their first company and named it
Slavia. The firm </span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">manufactured and repaired bicycles and motorbikes. The first logo
in the story therefore </span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">represents a bicycle wheel bedecked with linden leaves, a
mythological symbol of the </span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Slavic nations. Later, the logo was augmented to include the names
of the founders and </span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">the seat of the company: the city of Mladá Boleslav.</span></div>

<div class="p1">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">To mark this important transition, the company was rechristened
Laurin & Klement.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">It received a brand new logo in the Art Nouveau style, which was
then very much<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">in vogue. The logo presents the initials of its proprietors within
a laurel wreath. However,<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">this logo coexisted with another one for almost 25 years. During

ravaged the premises,<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">the brand had to search for a new industrial partner. For its part,

<div class="p1">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">of Europe’s largest industrial groups, with activities ranging from

established in this<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">field. A merger was concluded with Laurin & Klement. From that
time, the vehicles were<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">to be sold under the ŠKODA brand, bearing a new logo which combined
the identities<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">of the two partners: the name ŠKODA surrounded by the crown of
laurel.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

feathers and an arrow. Its<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">origins are extraordinarily mysterious; it is believed that one of
the contributing authors<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">was commercial director of the ŠKODA company in Pilsen.
Nevertheless, the most<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">credible account as to its meaning is that the symbol sought to
express progress and<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">movement into the future. What is certain is that this blue-winged
arrow replaced the<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">“ŠKODA and laurel” on the brand’s vehicles from the mid-1930s. And

responsibility for<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">ŠKODA’s destiny, this occasioned the opportunity for a little
rejuvenation. So, in 1993,<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">the blue gave way to green and the circle was enlarged to allow for
the inscription<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial";">Crazy?
Probably – but that’s the great thing about this charity adventure. Josef
Zimovčák doesn’t seem to care that over 100 years ago,Penny-farthings
were replaced by the comfortable bicycles we know today: He will
be crossing the entire length of the Czech Republic on his giant
high wheeler. In just ten days, he will be pedalling the 1,057
kilometres from east to west. A tour de force – but why?<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="background-color: #f8f8f8; font-family: "arial";">“We’re doing this for a great cause,” says the
12-times high-wheel world champion and mentor of the ‘Na kole dětem’
(‘Get cycling for kids’) foundation, which ŠKODA also supports. With each pedal
stroke during the charity ride, he will be raising funds
to enable children with cancer to go on rehabilitation and
respite holidays. “Those who are lucky enough to be healthy must
do what they can to help people less fortunate in life,” the
59-year-old explains his motivation.</span><span style="font-family: "arial";"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="background-color: #f8f8f8; font-family: "arial";">Zimovčák is known for his ambition far beyond
the high-wheel scene – he is also a respected professional
cyclist. It is little wonder, as no other person has
completed as many wild or gruelling tours on the huge
two-wheeler: Zimovčák, born in 1958, has ridden several stages of the
Tour de France, Giro d'Italia and La Vuelta. He has earned
a place in the Guinness Book of Records riding the farthest
on a Penny-farthing in 24 hours (522 kilometres in 1996).
And yet: “For me, the greatest success in my life is the
‘Na kole dětem’ project. It has 3 levels: to help children
get to know beauties of our country, to do some physical
activity and to </span><span style="font-family: "arial";">get involved in sport.<span style="background: #F8F8F8;">
I am a visionary; I believe that this concept will spread
over the borders of Czech Republic and that the high bike has long future
ahead.”</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 115%; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;">
<span style="font-family: "arial";"><span style="background-color: #f8f8f8;"><br /></span>
<span style="background: #F8F8F8;">Zimovčák’s 2016 summer highlight was
definitely his trip from Bruntál to Klasterec nad Ohri. Because the idea
of a charity bike ride was so good, only prominent cyclists
(on normal bikes) rode alongside him in the peloton, including three
silver ŠKODAs: a challenge for all the riders in the convoy who could
not match Zimovčák’s pace. The balance sheet: 40,000 euros were raised
at the seventh charity ride of ‘Na kole dětem’. Calculated
by taking the circumference of the high-wheel (4.78 meters) over
a distance of 1,057 kilometres, that comes out at 18 cents
per wheel revolution.</span><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 115%;">
<span style="font-family: "arial";">And
what do you have to watch out for when mounting a high wheeler
for the first time? It’s really quite different to normal cycling! From
the very start: while one leg stands on the step attached to the
frame, the other leg creates the momentum. Then, it’s a question
of getting up to the saddle. The fun begins at the top:
“Each pedal stroke drives the front wheel directly. You have
to specifically counteract this impact force over the handlebars,”
explains Josef Zimovčák. “Otherwise, you fly over the handlebars.” He has
experienced this first hand: “I’ve had a broken nose twice, broken
my hand six times, broken my jaw, I’ve lost eight teeth, broken
my ribs three times and many other injuries that I have long-since
forgotten,” says the consultant for life and accident insurance, smiling most
with this response.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial";">The 8th annual
bicycle tour ‘Na kole dětem’ (‘Get cycling for kids’) starts on May
31st in Ústí nad Labem and finishes on June 10th in Rouchovany.
Along its 1,205 kilometres, cyclists will pass through Prague, Mladá Boleslav,
Vrchlabí, Česká Třebová, Zlín and Brno, over hills and valleys, along rivers
and through forests. Simply put: it will sample all the beauty that
is the Czech Republic. A number of stops with entertainment and
educational programming are planned along the way, but the main part
of the programme takes place behind the handlebars. So get ready
to join us in pedalling for a good cause!<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><b>Preciosa, a Czech producer of luxury crystal glass, aims to turn the Superb into “an item of jewellery to be worn on special occasions,” according to ŠKODA chief designer Jozef Kabaň.

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">Last year, ŠKODA teamed up with Preciosa to produce the new Tour De France trophies. That’s when the team came across Preciosa’s sparkling new StarDust technology. This creates a special layer of mechanically ground stones in various shapes and sizes, which refract and reflect light in a completely new way. So, when the Yellow Jersey lifted the trophy, literally thousands of crystals shimmered in the light.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">Now the ŠKODA team have applied a little StarDust to their cars. First up, the Superb. Wheel rims resurfaced with the small bright crystals lend a sensational shimmer – and the logo on the front and back and steering wheel have been embedded with StarDust by hand. The Superb Black Crystal, as the glittering saloon ride has been dubbed, attracted a lot of attention and added a little dazzle to Designblok, Prague’s prestigious design and fashion event, when it was unveiled last year.</span>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08850696509552770179noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6844964478526333942.post-39572839540485649472017-04-25T01:58:00.003-07:002017-04-25T01:58:59.913-07:00 Rally Šumava Klatovy: Jan Kopecký and ŠKODA continue their impressive winning streak <div style="min-height: 14px;">

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">Jan Kopecký and co-driver Pavel Dresler (ŠKODA FABIA R5) laid the foundation for their resounding victory in the Rally Šumava Klatovy in the first stage on Friday. The Czech champions drove four convincing best times, with the fifth special stage abandoned for safety reasons due to oil on the road left behind by one of the vehicles participating in the historic category. Kopecký and Dresler finished the day with a comfortable lead of around half a minute.</span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"> </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">Kopecký and co-driver Dresler (ŠKODA FABIA R5) turned in five more best times on Saturday, despite heavy rain transforming the morning’s fast stages around Klatovy into treacherous slippery roads. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">Brand stablemates Jan Černy/Petr Černohorský in their private ŠKODA FABIA R5 had pushed their way into second place and were locked in a thrilling duel with Ford team Vacláv Pech/Petr Uhel. On their way to a refuelling stop between the eighth and ninth stages, Kopecký’s co-driver Dresler and Černy’s navigator Černohorský misinterpreted an unclear instruction in the roadbook and missed a junction. As a consequence, both teams reached the refueling station via a route other than the one specified and each were penalised 15 seconds. While Jan Kopecký continued on his way unaffected at the top of the leader board, the penalty was enough to lose Jan Černy the battle for second place. </span><br />

“There are various legends explaining the origin of </span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">Holi”, she explains. “For example the
one about king Hiranyakaship who wanted to kill </span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">his son Prahlanda who was saved by his
faith in Lord Vishnu”, she says. “Holi is thus not </span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">only a celebration of harvest and
fertility, but also a celebration of victory of good over </span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">evil. Old disputes are to be settled,
social barriers removed, existing friendships and</span></div>

<div class="p1">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">And now it’s even flying! After three months of preparations, the
new ŠKODA KODIAQ</span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">takes a flight over the Alps. What was the cause for the new ŠKODA
KODIAQ to fly? <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">ŠKODA France conducted an exclusive demonstration drive at 3,000
metres above <o:p></o:p></span></div>

Saanen-Gstaad airport in<o:p></o:p></span></div>

session within the heart<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">of the Swiss Alps. The experience unambiguously proved that this

<div class="p1">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">can handle any road conditions with agility and safety.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="p1">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">The model chosen for this feat is a KODIAQ 2.0 TDI, equipped with a
150 hp engine, 7<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">seats, and a 4×4 drivetrain. This intervention only required two
men to place the ŠKODA<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">KODIAQ on its transport net and three people to receive it at the
glacier. The helicopter<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">deployed for this undertaking is usually used for transporting
goods, which is why it has<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div style="font-size: 12px;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">It was only a few months ago that ŠKODA presented its first large </span><span style="color: #59b43c; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">SUV </span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">to the global public. Years of planning and many hours of hard work went into the premiere – especially during the car’s development. Technological advancements enable once separate disciplines to work closely together at ŠKODA: by using modern software and hardware, many factors can </span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">be put to the acid test during the early phases of development – in the virtual world.</span></div>
<div style="font-size: 12px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-size: 12px;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Thus, many areas at ŠKODA resemble a gamers’ convention more than they do a car factory: 3D glasses, controllers and large screens are part of day-to-day work for experts such as Radoslav Horák. The engineer works in ŠKODA’s Technical Development department in Mladá Boleslav, more precisely as design support coordinator for the incar driver environment. “Contrary to popular belief, tests involving real models of the interior take place relatively late on.” Instead, Horák and his colleagues use special 3D CAD software to design and gradually adjust the interior on the computer. In doing so, experts can immediately see the effect that individual changes have on overall ergonomics.</span></div>
<div style="font-size: 12px;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>

<div style="font-size: 12px;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">For the </span><span style="color: #59b43c; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">ŠKODA KODIAQ</span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">, the stated aim was to set new benchmarks in the SUV segment in terms of ergonomics, seating comfort and boot concept. Anyone should be able to get in and out with ease, find a good position for the seat belt and, most importantly, have optimum all-around visibility – regardless of whether they are a petite woman or a 6-foot-6-inch man, also known in the trade as a ‘seated giant’. The third row of seats, which is available as an option for the first time in a ŠKODA, played a significant role. It should be easy to fold down and easily accessible by any passenger.</span></div>
<div style="font-size: 12px;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="font-size: 12px;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">“In order to test this, we designed a three-dimensional dummy on the computer, which we were then able to place in our virtual interior,” explains Horák. The programmers specified body measurements and proportions precisely, so that the conditions could be tested for any driver imaginable. The experts extensively tested the seat position, f</span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">eeling of spaciousness and headroom early on. Furthermore, all of the dummies slipped into the third row of seats – with the result that the middle row of seats in the completed ŠKODA KODIAQ can now slide 18 centimetres in both directions. The operability of the radio, large infotainment system and air conditioning was also an important test.</span></div>
<div style="font-size: 12px;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="font-size: 12px;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Finally, test drives got underway in a special 3D ‘cave’ that allows real situations to be experienced as accurately as possible. Apart from the steering wheel and the driver’s seat, which can slide forward and backwards just like in a real car, everything is simulated here; large screens displaying the surroundings are fitted all over the inside of the cave. Whether it’s driving in the city or on motorways – anything is possible. Horák hears the corresponding exterior noises as well as the sound of his own car. Even critical situations can be negotiated risk-free in these caves, multiple times if necessary.</span></div>

<div style="font-size: 12px;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Depending on the viewer’s position or line of sight, the display on the screens also changes. This means that the experts know the properties of the blind spot and whether the A-pillar blocks out too much of the view for some drivers.</span></div>
<div style="font-size: 12px;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="font-size: 12px;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">In the cave, Horák wears tinted 3D glasses which have a frame with small balls attached to the top of them. Using controllers similar to those used for the Wii games console, he can operate the virtual car and, for example, test how far to the right he needs to lean in order to open the glove compartment. “Virtual test drives also allow us to determine as accurately as possible how different light conditions affect sight and, for example, whether distracting reflections appear.” Depending on the result, the colleagues were able to make modifications to the ŠKODA KODIAQ directly at the click </span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">of a mouse and, for instance, adjust the position of the infotainment screen. The designers also tested how well the driver can see traffic behind the vehicle in the rearview mirror and wing mirrors and the effect of the ambient lighting.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="font-size: 12px;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Further tests are only carried out once the team is happy with the virtual reality – first with specially made models, or mock-up seats as they are known, then later with prototypes. However, Horák and his colleagues do not receive final feedback until a few years later – from customers. “The first responses endorse our work,” he says. “Customers are delighted with the KODIAQ.”</span></div>

Sebastián Álvarez inhabits his own world which is anything but quiet: he can hear his heart beating and feel his deep breaths, and he listens carefully to the scrapes of his climbing shoes in the reddish-white chalk. He twists his hips and pushes off powerfully with his right leg. His upper arm muscles clearly stand out under his grey shirt when he grabs hold of the small ledge. He locates his next foothold, skilfully finds his balance and quickly clicks the next carabiner into the metal hook in the cliff face.</div>

<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 11px;">
“When I’m climbing, I concentrate completely on the rock – and on silencing the voice inside my head,” says Sebastián when he is once again on solid ground. Blocking out fear, getting into a rhythm – that’s what matters. “And it’s important to listen to what nature – what the rock – is trying to tell you.” The 39-year-old Spaniard seems settled in Mallorca. Just two years ago, he fulfilled his dream here by setting up the small company ‘Rock & Water Mallorca’, together with his business partner Adhara. Since then, they have been offering a variety of adventure trips in Mallorca – from mountain biking, sailing and canyoning to bouldering and climbing tours. “For me, Mallorca is the perfect location: we have a pleasant climate with 300 days of sunshine per year and many great spots,” raves Sebastián. “Here there are spectacular cliffs right by the sea, long mountain passes, sintered overhangs and even caves.” The island’s chalk also has a pleasant feel.</div>

<b>Tracks, pine trees, views</b></div>

<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 11px;">
Depending on the weather, wind and mood, Sebastián takes his guests to different corners of the island. His favourite spots (see box) are not only athletically challenging in different ways, but also have impressive landscapes. Even just the journey through the Serra de Tramuntana takes your breath away: it passes by bright green fields where sheep and lambs gently graze. Gnarled olive trees alternate with large orange groves and majestic almond trees. The road offers a clear view of the picturesque Valldemossa, one of the most beautiful places on the island. In the distance, you can see the ‘Sant Bartomeu’ parish church and the walls of the ancient Carthusian monastery ‘Catuja de Jesús Nazareno’. But Sebastián drives on, bypasses the tourist destination, and steers his ŠKODA KODIAQ elegantly around the sometimes deep furrows in the road, on towards the coast.</div>
<div style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 11px; min-height: 12px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 11px;">
To his left is a steep downward slope, the rugged grey of the rock alternates with the green of pine trees and cacti. He stops suddenly at the edge of the small track and parks the SUV on the unpaved verge. His destination: a mighty overhang made from red, white and grey chalk, directly above the road. He quickly goes through the planned route with his assistant who will belay him. Less than two minutes later, Sebastián is hanging in the centre of the rock. In his blue jeans, white long-sleeved top and grey cap, he wouldn’t look out of place in a small beach bar.</div>
<div style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 11px; min-height: 12px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 11px;">
A group of Spanish hikers stops. They are no longer looking at the blue sky and little bays with turquoise water. They watch the man on the rock face above them, mesmerised. Sebastián hangs on one hand – seemingly relaxed – while he takes some chalk out of the bag on his back with the other. An audible breath in, one swift movement and he already has the most difficult passage behind and below him – as if he had never done anything else.</div>

<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 11px;">
But that’s not the case: Sebastián did not start climbing until he was 23. At that time, he moved to Madrid. Prior to that, he had lived with his family in Argentina, where he grew up in the tranquil town of Olavarría and almost became a professional softball player. “After school, I studied law in Buenos Aires,” he says, smiling whilst looking at his chalk-covered hands. Having completed a second degree in Spain, he was now able to work as a lawyer in both countries. However, all he completed were the mandatory internships. “I preferred to earn money through other people’s happiness instead of through their problems and misery.” Sebastián lived in Madrid and England, worked in Mallorca for five years as the sales manager for a carpentry workshop and sold windows. The biggest constant during these years was his growing enthusiasm for outdoor sports – be it canyoning, cliff diving or deep-water soloing. “It’s quite obvious that I love danger,” he says with a wide grin. His brown eyes sparkle. Bouldering and climbing have held him in their grasp ever since. The result: he and his good friend Adhara quit their jobs and went for broke.</div>
<div style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 11px; min-height: 12px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 11px;">
As he drives along the winding roads from Sóller down towards Palma, Daft Punk blasts from the ŠKODA KODIAQ’s six speakers. Sebastián sings along loudly and drums on his knee with his hand. Next destination: Torre d’en Beu, a listed 16th-century watchtower on the south-east coast of Mallorca. The journey takes a good hour, past the capital city, through several villages and at the end along a dusty sand track towards the sea. Sebastián switches to all-wheel-drive mode and follows a medium-height natural stone wall towards the tower. A popular climbing and bouldering area can be found directly below it. The air tastes salty, the waves ring in your ears. Sebastián unpacks all of his equipment: ropes, harnesses and helmets for him and Adhara, as well as a crash pad – which alone would fill the boot of a small car. A crash pad is a mat required for bouldering – together with your partner, it is your only protection for this sport. Here it is more about technique; the rocks are a maximum of three metres high and there are plenty of them here. Over centuries, the sea and wind have moulded them into all shapes and sizes. Sebastian and Adhara unfold the crash pad together. Sebastián slips into his climbing shoes and begins climbing straight from the ground. Slowly, smoothly, one twist – and he is yet again hanging in the air two metres above the mat. They then switch roles. Sebastián shows his business partner, who has specialised more in mountain biking and water sports in their small company, a few tricks, whilst not letting her out of his sight.</div>

He calls it a day in the late afternoon. Sebastián drives the KODIAQ towards Palma again. Time and again, he looks at the sky. But less to marvel at the sunset and more to get a close look at the cloud formation over the sea. And he nods happily: tomorrow it will probably be sunny again – perfect for the next area on his list.</div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The first engine made by Laurin & Klement (established in 1895) was a one-cylinder 1.25 HP unit designed for Slavia motorcycles. The brand founders introduced this engine in Prague-Bubeneč in November 1899. The beginnings were not easy, though, as the designers and engineers lacked one important thing – a magneto-electric ignition that only Robert Bosch in Stuttgart was able to produce at that time. Laurin and Klement approached him and he replied in person. By the way, this letter is still part of the National Museum of Technology’s collection, and careful readers will find twelve mistakes and typing errors</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Bosch offered its device at 80 marks per unit, was not prepared to provide any discount and refused Laurin and Klement’s idea of testing the device in the Mladá Boleslav-made machine. Further letters apparently bothered him so he started replying without paying the postage, i.e. at Laurin and Klement’s cost. In the end the Boleslav engineers came to understand the whole principle and designed their own ignition system that was lighter, cheaper and more practical. “The result of presenting this vehicle of the future was indeed great”, Národní politika (newspaper) wrote on 21 November, 1899. The history of Mladá Boleslav-made engine was born.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The KODIAQ anatomy can now be explored on a special vehicle that has been dismantled for ŠKODA. “All of the key elements of the bodywork structure are visible – the deformation zones, the door reinforcements, the passenger compartment skeleton whose borders are formed by the A-pillar, B-pillar, doorsill and roof. Also uncovered are the locations of the respective airbags (including the pyro cartridges), the impact sensors along the vehicle’s perimeter, as well as the active safety elements – assistance systems, for example the front radar and camera, blind spot sensors and parking sensors,” explains Petr Kraus, Head of Vehicle Safety Development. “Further, the model offers spectacular views of the structure for all three rows of seats, including the seat AC system as well as the electrically controlled seat-positioning system that is fully functional. This makes it possible to check out the whole mechanism. Also completely functional is the window control system, which can be viewed – like in an aquarium –through big cut-outs as the windows slide down. The pop-out tow bar mechanism is exposed, too.”</span></div>

What does a pint of Pilsner lager have in common with contact lenses? Other than pleasantly altering your view of the world, both are Czech inventions, just as sugar cubes, snap fasteners, the plastic explosive Semtex, and others are. However small the Czech Republic might be in size and population, this is a country rich in ideas and innovation. ŠKODA is proud of sharing and continuing that tradition in the world of motoring.</div>

When Leonardo Da Vinci first thought of contact lenses as an aid for the weak-sighted, he couldn't foresee that it would take another 400 odd years and the ingenuity of a Czech chemist to turn his idea into reality. And yet, it was Otto Wichterle (1913-1998), who had the insight that created a path to the soft contact lens as we know today. His paper "Hydrophilic gels for biological use", published in 1959 in the journal Nature, delivered the breakthrough in the quest extending through half a millennium.</div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; min-height: 14px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
However, it was a US company which turned the idea into an economic success after buying the rights to produce the lenses in the mid-1960s.</div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; min-height: 14px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
Although Professor Wichterle's merits are undoubted, there has been some dispute on another invention attributed to a Czech scholar by his fellow countrymen: the lightning conductor. While internationally regarded as the brainchild of Benjamin Franklin, Czech science historians often cite the 18th century Catholic priest, theologian and natural scientist Prokop Diviš (1698-1765) as the original inventor.</div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; min-height: 14px;">
<br /></div>
<br />
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
The fact is both inventors built apparatuses conducting the electricity from lightning strikes to the ground around 1750.</div>

Does the Yeti really exist?<div style="background-color: #dcddde; color: #323333; font-size: 16px;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: helvetica;">The only Yeti we managed to spot were the expedition's three Outdoor models – all built at ŠKODA’s assembly plant in Aurangabad in central western India. </span></div>
<div style="font-family: helvetica;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: x-small;">All were standard production models but had the optional Rough-Road package fitted. The package – which is available to all YETI Outdoor buyers, not just mountain adventurers – consists of a thermoplastic cover for the engine and transmission, a plastic cover for the fuel and brake lines, the reinforced brake fluid distribution system and the hand-brake cable. All models were also equipped with a space-saver spare wheel, although no punctures were suffered during the 680-km journey.</span><br />

Known to locals around Merak as Migoi, the yeti has been a part of Bhutanese, Nepalese and Tibetan folklore for more than three centuries. Although the early Himalayan people are believed to have worshipped a ‘glacier being’, the first documented reports of a mountain-dwelling bipedal creature in Western culture didn’t appear until the early 19th century.</div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
As Western mountaineers embarked on Himalayan climbs in the 1920s, reported sightings became more frequent, with a number of respected explorers claiming to have seen a mysterious mountain beast. </div>

By the 1950s, debate surrounding the yeti’s existence reached new heights with Sir Edmund Hillary and Tenzing Norgay reporting large, unexplained footprints in the snow. National newspapers across Europe funded large-scale yeti-finding expeditions as the story became headline news. In the 21st century, the emphasis moved towards scientific exploration, with various examples of older evidence tested for authenticity and a host of new explanations coming forward. The most recent research has been carried out by the universities of Oxford and Lausanne and concluded that although the existence of the yeti couldn’t be completely ruled out, the evidence suggested that the creature is likely to be a species of bear.</div>
