– The electric concept car SKODA VISION E provides an outlook on the SKODA electric strategy at the IAA 2017
– The design of the concept car from Shanghai has been developed further
– The SKODA VISION E can drive autonomously at level 3
– In addition to plug-in hybrid vehicles, SKODA will also offer five purely electrically powered cars in its range by 2025
– SKODA makes electromobility ‘Simply Clever’
SKODA is making the mobility of the future a permanent feature of its everyday life. E-vehicles play a crucial role in the company’s global growth strategy. In addition to plug-in hybrid vehicles, ?KODA will also have five fully electrically powered cars in its range by 2025. From that point onwards, one in every four cars sold by the brand worldwide should be a plug-in hybrid or have a purely electric drive system. All of the SKODA models, which will also be zero-emission in the future, will impress with the typical qualities of the brand: with a long range, easy to use charging technology and outstanding economic efficiency. SKODA makes electromobility ‘Simply Clever’.
“One of the four pillars of our 2025 Strategy is the electrification of our fleet. The SKODA 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 SKODA VISION E,” said SKODA CEO Bernhard Maier
In parallel, SKODA is developing its own vehicle concepts for entirely electric mobility based on the modular electric car platform. This development is running in parallel to the implementation of additional levels of automated driving in production. In the future, the drivers will be able to transfer an ever-increasing number of driving responsibilities to their vehicle. The electric vehicles developed by SKODA will have the basic architecture required to integrate these functions, which will be usable in the medium and long term, into their in-car electronics.
The automotive industry finds itself in the middle of a major process of change. New business segments are opening up for which SKODA has products and solutions ready, is developing them further or producing fresh designs. One field of activity is mobility services. The business areas which will benefit from this development include car sharing, the provision of on-demand mobility and numerous services directly linked to individual mobility requirements. In these areas too, SKODA has the potential to precisely identify customer requirements and fulfil them with clear, well-conceived and reliable solutions.
At the IAA, SKODA is presenting its first purely electric concept car. The SKODA VISION E can drive autonomously at level 3. The design of the concept car SKODA VISION E exhibits distinctive features of SKODA’s new design language for electric vehicles. The opposed-opening doors and four rotating individual seats are an arresting sight. There are no wing mirrors anymore – cameras relay what is happening around the vehicle on monitors. The SKODA VISION E forgoes B-pillars for an even greater amount of space. In comparison to the vehicle from the world premiere in Shanghai, the front has been further developed and now appears even more characterful. The generous amount of space, state-of-the-art assistance systems as well as numerous ‘Simply Clever’ features are typical for SKODA.
