ŠKODA VISION E: Quotes

“One of the four pillars of our 2025 Strategy is the electrification of our fleet. The ŠKODA SUPERB with plug-in hybrid drive will be launched as early as 2019. Then in 2020 this will be followed by our first purely electric model, into which we are offering a very concrete insight in Frankfurt with the ŠKODA VISION E.”
Bernhard Maier, CEO of ŠKODA

“Over the last few years, with our ŠKODA design language, we have produced several sensational concept cars that point the way to the brand’s future. The new ŠKODA VISION E is now presenting the next step towards a future-oriented design.”
Karl Neuhold, ŠKODA Head of Exterior Design

“Czech crystal glass art, which enjoys high international prestige and has a long tradition, is an important source of inspiration for the modern ŠKODA design. It combines classic manufacturing processes with modern aesthetics. The ŠKODA VISION E is therefore also a reference to cultural heritage in the brand’s homeland.”
Karl Neuhold, ŠKODA Head of Exterior Design

“Typical of electric motors, the characteristics include maximum torque available from a standing start, which results in very good responsive qualities. When accelerating, the concept car thereby achieves the highest level of dynamism ever experienced in a ŠKODA.”
Christian Strube, ŠKODA Board Member for Technical Development

“The ŠKODA VISION E concept car achieves the requirements for level 3 of autonomous driving. It can operate independently in traffic jams, complete motorway journeys using autopilot, stay in lane or take evasive actions, overtake other vehicles, independently look for free parking spaces and drive in and out of parking spaces autonomously.”
Christian Strube, ŠKODA Board Member for Technical Development
