Without the right parts, no car will run
Power cars with their heart and backbone. Transmissions, engines, axles – manufacture the parts without which our vehicles would just stand still.
Precision to thousandths of a millimeter. Quality without compromise. Components that must last even a million kilometers – in freezing cold and scorching heat, at home and abroad. In the world of component production, everything revolves around absolute reliability.
At Škoda Auto, we produce engines, transmissions, axles, and castings for our own models as well as for the entire Group. In modern halls, with advanced automation and teams that understand every detail. Join us and bring millions more cars to life.
What does component manufacturing at Škoda Auto mean?
-
Production of key vehicle parts
Engines, transmissions, axles and battery systems are created directly in-house – we provide the heart and backbone of the vehicles.
-
Precision machining with high accuracy
When producing engine blocks, connecting rods or crankshafts, we work with tolerances in the range of thousandths of a millimeter.
-
Assembly for the entire Group
Our components are used by the Škoda, Volkswagen, Audi and Seat brands – we assemble parts for the entire Group.
-
Production of castings and forgings
The foundry and forge ensure the melting and forging of parts that form the basis of power units.
-
Technical service and maintenance
We take care of tools, equipment maintenance and ensure the environmentally friendly operation of all technologies.
-
Component logistics
We keep planning, deliveries and material flow under control as part of comprehensive component logistics.
-
Ramp-up management of new component projects
-
Digitalization and smart production control
Automated data collection and modern control systems are moving our production toward a digital future.
“Every day, we produce over 2,000 engines and almost 4,000 transmissions. This production volume significantly contributes to the economic success of the Škoda Auto brand.”
Head of Component Production
Where can you apply your skills?
Get to know all the departments involved in producing components for Škoda vehicles.
1. Digitalization of component production
Implement smart control and automation systems. Coordinate digitalization projects, collect and evaluate data, and connect production with modern technologies.
2. Production of transmissions
Manufacture and ship automatic transmissions DQ200 (seven-speed automatic transmission with fast shifting) and manual transmissions MQ 200 (five- or six-speed manual transmission) for Škoda, VW, Audi and Seat vehicles. Take part in one of the most widely used drivetrains in the Group.
3. Engine production
Be part of the production of modern EA211 engines from the first machining step all the way to assembly. Work to the highest standards of quality and precision – down to thousandths of a millimeter.
4. Platform production
Produce batteries and axles for MEB vehicles, as well as damper units for the entire range of vehicles in Mladá Boleslav and Kvasiny. Under your hands, axles for hybrid vehicles and dampers for the Kodiaq iV will be created.
5. Foundry and forge
Melt, pour, and forge. Produce castings and forgings for the entire Group and gain experience in metallurgy, which forms the basis of all other processes.
6. Technical service for component production
Make sure production runs smoothly. Keep machines, tools, and technological processes in perfect condition and take part in environmentally responsible management.
7. Component production logistics
Plan and manage the flow of material and finished parts. Your work ensures that nothing is missing and that production runs exactly according to plan – at home and within the Group.
8. Project management and pre-series preparation
Launch new projects – especially in the field of e-mobility. Monitor costs, plan capacities, and coordinate the production of pre-series components.
About 10,000
axles and dampers per day.
That’s roughly how many parts are produced across our plants.
What can you look forward to at Škoda Auto?
Do the work you love, get fairly rewarded for it and enjoy plenty of extra perks.
“For hall M13, we produce front and rear axles and dampers – for more than 1,000 vehicles a day, which means over 3,000 components in current production.”

How will working in component production impact you?
You give vehicles strength and confidence
Without an engine, a car wouldn’t move off, without a transmission it wouldn’t accelerate. Thanks to your work, every car really works.
You see the results every day
From machining machines, assembly lines and foundry molds. What you produce goes straight out into the world.
You get to know production in depth
Here you’ll understand how every part, every movement and every decision are connected. And also why it is important that everything fits to a thousandth exactly.
You work with modern technologies
Automation, robotics, digital systems – component production is smart, constantly evolving and offers plenty of room for learning and growth.
You are part of a well-coordinated team
Every day is different, but the team always sticks together and pulls as one for every single forging.

JAN HOUSER
Battery Assembly Coordinator, MEB platform
“Every part of a new line has to be designed in cooperation with other departments such as Quality, Maintenance, Logistics or Planning.”
ZDENĚK DRÁBEK
Project Coordinator for Production Data Management
“Our system makes dispatchers’ work easier. They don’t have to go anywhere or walk around individual stations. They see everything in the so-called helicopter view.”
JOSEF ČADIL
Logistics Delivery Coordination Coordinator
“Now I understand exactly what one small change in Excel, one number, one delay of a vehicle on the road can cause in logistics.”
Tomáš Dvořák
Logistics Coordinator
“Logistics is moving forward a lot. In hall M6, large parts for batteries are already transported by fully autonomous technology. No driver, no forklifts.”
