The ‘INDIA 2.0’ project: ŠKODA AUTO assumes responsibility for the Indian market on Volkswagen Group’s behalf​

› The task highlights the level of trust that Volkswagen Group’s management places in the expertise of the ŠKODA team

› ŠKODA AUTO is taking over responsibility for the MQB A0 platform, initially with a focus on India

› Technical development will predominantly take place in India

› Together, ŠKODA AUTO and Volkswagen are pursuing the plan for the future for India

› First ŠKODA model based on the MQB-A0-IN platform will be introduced as early as 2020

New Delhi: 22 June 2018 – Going forward, ŠKODA AUTO is taking on an even more important role for Volkswagen Group in the development of the Indian car market. As part of the ‘INDIA 2.0’ project, Volkswagen Group’s position in this important growing market is to be strengthened for the long term. “Volkswagen Group has tasked us with this responsibility, thereby highlighting the level of trust that Volkswagen Group’s management places in the expertise of the ŠKODA team,” said ŠKODA CEO, Bernhard Maier, after the Board of Management and Supervisory Board had given the project the go-ahead. Around one and a half years ago, ŠKODA AUTO was tasked with developing a sustainable model campaign for the ŠKODA and Volkswagen brands in the Indian volume segments.

All models designed and produced locally in India in the future will be based on Volkswagen Group’s MQB platform, which already fulfils the stricter legal requirements for India that come into force in 2020. With the ‘INDIA 2.0’ project, ŠKODA AUTO is also taking over responsibility for the sub-compact MQB A0 platform, initially with a focus on India (MQB-A0-IN). Preparations for the India-based development and production of the new, technologically pioneering volume models for the ŠKODA and Volkswagen brands are already in full swing. The introduction of the first ŠKODA model based on the A0-IN platform is scheduled for 2020.

We are firmly convinced that – after one and a half years of intensive work – together with Volkswagen we now have a suitable approach to bring the right vehicles into the Indian market at the right time. We will present the first model built on the new MQB-A0-IN platform as early as 2020,” said ŠKODA AUTO CEO, Bernhard Maier, adding, “I am confident that we can make the ‘INDIA 2.0’ project a success.”

The project will be headed by the Managing Director of ŠKODA AUTO India Private Ltd, Gurpratap Boparai, who has extensive leadership experience in the Indian car market.

What are the fundamental advantages of the MQB? By standardising components, dimensions and production processes, costs are lowered and production times are reduced. Furthermore, the MQB increases flexibility when developing new vehicles. Most of the technical development will take place in India.

The continued internationalisation of ŠKODA AUTO is one of the cornerstones of its 2025 Strategy. In 2017, ŠKODA AUTO was able to increase deliveries in India by more than 30 per cent compared to the previous year. The growing sales figures in India emphasise that the ŠKODA model range is attractive for Indian customers and provides an excellent foundation for further growth.

The ŠKODA brand has an excellent starting point for the planned growth in India: active on the Indian subcontinent since 2001, the brand has consistently increased sales in recent years. Last year, a total of 17,100 ŠKODA vehicles (+31.4%; 2016: 13,000 units) were delivered to customers in India. The first ŠKODA cars were sold there way back in the 1930s. Today, Skoda Auto India Private Ltd offers four ŠKODA models: the RAPID, OCTAVIA, SUPERB and, since October 2017, the KODIAQ. The RAPID is produced at the Pune plant, whilst the OCTAVIA, SUPERB and KODIAQ models are manufactured in Aurangabad, which is also where the company’s headquarters are located.

20180921_Pavel Richter.jpg

› Pavel Richter will be responsible for the production of all models at the Pune plant

› As part of the ‘INDIA 2.0’ project, ŠKODA is responsible for the Volkswagen Group’s planned model campaign on the Indian market

› The first ŠKODA model based on the MQB A0-IN platform will be launched as early as 2020

New Delhi, 21 September 2018 – Pavel Richter will be assuming the role of Production Technical Director of the ŠKODA led INDIA 2.0 project of the Volkswagen Group on 1 November 2018. The 46-year-old will be responsible for the production of all the models at the plant in Pune. The personnel restructuring is part of the ‘INDIA 2.0’ project. Under Gurpratap Boparai’s leadership, ŠKODA is responsible for the Volkswagen Group’s model campaign on the Indian market.

Reorganizing the responsibilities at the management level is an important step in implementing the ‘INDIA 2.0’ project. With the appointment of Pavel Richter to the position of Production Technical Director, ŠKODA has now filled one of the key positions at an early stage.

Dr. Andreas Lauermann, Managing Director and President of Volkswagen India Private Ltd. says: “I am delighted to welcome Pavel Richter to our team in Pune. With his experience, he will play a crucial role in achieving our common goal of further strengthening the Volkswagen Group’s position in the strategically important Indian market.

With his capabilities, he will play a key role in making the ‘INDIA 2.0’ project successful.”

Pavel Richter has been working for ŠKODA AUTO since 2000, and has performed various managerial roles in the Czech Republic as well as other international markets. In 2011, he became Head of the ŠKODA plant in Kvasiny, Czech Republic. From 2014, Richter was responsible for the production of the OCTAVIA, RAPID and KAROQ models at the company’s headquarters in Mladá Boleslav.

As part of ‘INDIA 2.0’, ŠKODA will be responsible for the Volkswagen Group’s planned model campaign on the Indian market, for which one billion euros will be invested between 2019 and 2021. ŠKODA will manufacture the new products locally based on the subcompact platform MQB A0, initially focusing on India (MQB-A0-IN).

The second step will involve the company investigating the possibility of exporting the vehicles manufactured in India. ŠKODA and Volkswagen plan to develop various models on this platform. The model campaign will be launched in 2020 with an SUV. To ensure the planned models meet the needs of Indian customers, ŠKODA is striving for maximum market proximity from the very start.

The technical development of the new products will take place primarily in India. In this context, the car manufacturer plans to gradually create new jobs locally.

ŠKODA AUTO India Private Ltd. currently offers four model series: the ŠKODA RAPID, ŠKODA OCTAVIA, ŠKODA SUPERB and ŠKODA KODIAQ. The ŠKODA series OCTAVIA, SUPERB and KODIAQ are manufactured in Aurangabad alongside various models from the Group brands Audi and Volkswagen. The RAPID runs off the production line at the Pune plant, where the Volkswagen series VW Polo, VW Vento and VW Ameo, and engines are also manufactured.

Bolder, more emotive 2020 Skoda Octavia rendered

2020-skoda-octavia-front-three-quarters-rendering-8061.jpg


The 2020 Skoda Octavia hasn’t made an appearance in its production body so far, but specialist future model illustrator Andrei Avarvarii has already worked on a rendering to get the ball rolling on the design speculation. The C-segment sedan goes back to single lens headlamps with the full model change. The new headlamps, however, are bifurcated in a split-style appearance, and they have a low-profile. This results in a quite a bold design statement at the front. Another noticeable change in the front fascia is the slimmer radiator grille that despite being more compact emphasises the width of the car.

Skoda Rapid Hits 1 Lakh Production Milestone In India



The Skoda Rapid C-segment sedan is the automaker's entry-level model in India, and the offering has hit a new production milestone with over one lakh units churned out. Skoda Auto India rolled out the 100,000th Rapid at its Chakan facility, near Pune, with the special version being the top-of-the-line Monte Carlo edition. The Skoda Rapid was introduced in India way back in 2011 as the sedan derivative of the Fabia, and later turned into the Czech car maker's most affordable offering in India, once the latter was discontinued.
