One of these prototypes is now in the Škoda Museum in Mladá Boleslav, having been restored in 2017 by apprentices from the vocational school.
Background: In the trainee car project, selected junior employees are allowed to design their personal dream car once a year and then build it themselves. This allows the trainees to apply and improve skills they have learned.
Citigo as Citijet and pick-up Mountiaq
The first apprentice car to be presented in 2014 is the Citijet, a two-seater version of the Citigo. The sixth and so far last apprentice car is the Mountiaq pick-up based on a Kodiaq in 2019.
Since fall 2019, 31 apprentices from the Škoda vocational school, including five women, have been working on the seventh Azubi Car. For the first time, the Scala serves as the basis, which the apprentices transform into a Spider.
