Two years after it was established in 1896, Laurin & Klement started
producing motorcycles. In 1901 the first two prototype cars were manufactured and in 1905 the production of
the Type A model was launched. In the years 1905-1925 the cars were
offered under the brand name of Laurin & Klement and in the years 1925-1929 as the Skoda Laurin &
Klement make. In 1923 the arms factory Skoda launched
the production of Skoda luxury cars based on the Hispano Suiza H6. In 1925 Skoda concern was
taken over by Laurin&Klement. In 1928 the first, original Skoda models 4R and 6R were
released. In 1929 the brand name was shortened to Skoda. In 1991 VW bought 31% of Skoda shares,
which was subsequently increased at the beginning of 1994 to 50.5%, in December 1994 to 60.3%, in 1995 to 70% and finally in
2000 to 100%. Skoda passenger cars
