Mladá Boleslav, 27 February 2026 – Škoda is investing €205 million in the expansion of battery production in Mladá Boleslav, becoming the largest producer of BEV battery systems in the Volkswagen Group. This opening is part of the Volkswagen Group’s overall battery strategy, which balances in-house and third-party battery cell and system supply to achieve maximum flexibility and continuous access to innovations, technologies and supply chains. At the same time, Škoda’s main plant is now the first Volkswagen Group site in Europe to produce cell-to-pack battery systems for use in high-volume electric vehicles. A daily output of more than 1,100 cell-to-pack battery systems and up to 335,000 units a year will accelerate the rollout of new technologies in close collaboration with the Volkswagen Group Technology Center of Excellence Battery.
