The Czech company Škoda, owned by the Volkswagen Group, is showcasing the latest electrified vehicles at the Frankfurt Motor Show 2019.
The cars are part of the Škoda iV family. These are the Superb iV with a hybrid powertrain and the CITIGOe iV with an all-electric drive.
It is reported that the hybrid version of the Superb sedan will be available early next year. This car will receive an efficient gasoline engine and an electric motor.
Škoda CITIGOe iV, in turn, will be the first production model of the Czech brand, which is driven exclusively by an electric motor. The power plant capacity is 61 kW. The car is able to travel up to 260 km on one charge of the battery pack in the absence of harmful emissions into the atmosphere.
“With the new models, the Czech brand has entered the era of electric vehicles and laid the foundation for its successful future. Components for Volkswagen Group electric vehicles have been produced at the Škoda plant in Mladá Boleslav since September 2019. In addition, the Czech brand is developing an efficient charging infrastructure: by 2025, Škoda will invest 32 million euros and create 7000 charging stations on the territory of its factories in the Czech Republic and beyond,” the carmaker notes.
