The exterior and interior sketches shown by the 25-students team reveal a dynamic design which, in addition to providing a great experience for the students, also marks another celebration of \u0160koda Motorsport\u2019s 120th anniversary and stands as a tribute to the Czech brand\u2019s storied racing success.<\/p>\n

Production of the recent Azubi cars began in 2014 with the CitiJet, a two-seater version of the CitiGo. This has been followed by the likes of the Element, which paid homage to the \u0160koda Buggy 736 of 1973, the Mountiaq, a rugged Kodiaq-based pick-up and the Sunroq, a convertible edition of the \u0160koda Karoq.<\/p>\n

About the Azubi car programme<\/h2>\n

The current Azubi car programme was inspired by a series of 1970s projects where apprentices often worked out of hours to create special one-off cars. While few were ever officially documented in the way they are now, the philosophy of empowering apprentices to create fully driveable concept cars is at the heart of the modern-era Azubi project.<\/p>\n

\"Skoda<\/a><\/p>\n

Although the final Azubi cars have taken many forms over the years, the project brief has remained the same. Every year, a team of around 30 apprentices from the \u0160koda Academy and the \u0160koda AUTO Secondary Vocational School of Engineering are challenged to create their dream car, based on an existing \u0160koda production model. The apprentices are required to design the car and build a fully working prototype that can be driven. During the process the team has full access to the brand\u2019s advanced CAD and prototyping systems at Mlada Boleslav and call on the expertise and advice of \u0160koda\u2019s design and engineering teams. However, final construction is always carried out by the students. All designs go through the same sign-off process as \u0160koda\u2019s production cars.<\/p>\n

\"Skoda<\/a><\/p>\n

Today, each successful student of the 13 different technical courses it provides is offered employment at \u0160koda. In 2013, the school became part of the \u0160koda Academy and established a new annual tradition in the form of the Azubi Student Car project, enabling young talent to learn from \u0160koda\u2019s professionals as they design and build an original vehicle themselves.<\/p>\n

Experienced employees from other departments, such as design, technical development and production frequently work with the young students to help them realise their vision.<\/p>\n
