Automobiles and the environment


Noise – noise is one of the unfavorable factors affecting the environment. ŠkodaAuto, however, has no problem keeping up with the progressive legislation of today. Contrary to earlier vehicles, today’s model lines, e.g., Fabia and Octavia, the noise level – both internal and external – has dropped by nearly ten decibels.

Emissions – carbon, nitrogen, and solid particles emission is a serious form of environmental pollution. Škoda Auto fits its vehicles with engines that not only meet strict EU3 emission limits, in effect since 2001, but also the EU4 emission standards.
Fuel consumption – low fuel consumption always is a meaningful aspect of environmental protection. Engineering designers at ŠkodaAuto take many measures to reach low fuel consumption: engine design optimization, improved aerodynamics, and weight reduction.
Making use of progressive technologies and new technical solution makes ŠkodaAuto one of the most advanced automobile manufacturers. For instance, its TDI Diesel engines have very low fuel consumption under all operating conditions, thanks to the pressurized pump-nozzle injection system. The economical and environment-friendly Škoda engines count to the most modern Diesel engines made today.
