Headquarters: Mladá Boleslav, Czech Republic
Established: 1895
Founder(s): Václav Laurin & Václav Klement

The Laurin & Klement company began producing trucks, but in 1924, after running into problems and being affected by a fire on their premises, the company sought a new partner.

Meanwhile, Akciová společnost, dříve Škodovy závody (Limited Company, formerly the Škoda Works), an arms manufacturer and multisector concern in Pilsen, which had become one of the largest industrial enterprises in Europe and the largest in Czechoslovakia, sought to enlarge its non-arms manufacturing base, so acquired Laurin & Klement in 1925. In late 1959, the Škoda Felicia, a compact four-cylinder convertible coupe, was imported into the United States for model year 1960. In 1990, Škoda was still making its outdated range of rear-engined small family cars, although it had started production of the Favorit front-wheel drive hatchback in 1987 as an eventual replacement.

In 2015, Škoda was voted the most dependable car brand in Great Britain. A corporate strategy was launched to produce a range of all-electric cars from 2019.
