Škoda Auto has officially started series production of its new flagship electric SUV, the Škoda Peaq, at its main manufacturing facility in Mladá Boleslav, marking another significant step in the Czech carmaker’s transition towards electrification.
The Peaq is being produced on the same assembly line as the fully electric Enyaq and Elroq, alongside the combustion-engine Octavia. The mixed-production setup highlights the flexibility of Škoda’s manufacturing operations, enabling the company to adjust output quickly in response to fluctuating customer demand and market conditions.
The launch comes amid strong early demand for the new model. Since its market introduction in June, the Peaq has already attracted almost 8,500 customer orders, underlining growing interest in Škoda’s expanding electric vehicle line-up.
Andreas Dick, Škoda uto’s chief production officer, said: “The new Škoda Peaq represents the pinnacle of our range in terms of comfort, spaciousness and technology, while its production also meets the most stringent standards of quality, efficiency and flexibility.
“Producing four models, three of them fully electric, on a single line clearly demonstrates the skill and versatility of our team in Mladá Boleslav. Thanks to the tremendous dedication shown by all our colleagues in carrying out the necessary modifications, we are exceptionally well prepared for the production of our new flagship.”
The Peaq becomes the fourth model currently manufactured on the production line at Škoda’s main plant. Originally designed for vehicles powered by internal combustion engines, the line has undergone extensive upgrades over recent years to accommodate electric vehicle production. The Enyaq became the first EV built there in 2020, followed by the Elroq in January 2025 and now the Peaq.
According to Škoda, electric models accounted for nearly 23% of all vehicles produced at the company’s Czech plants during the first half of 2026, reflecting the growing importance of EVs within its portfolio.
To accommodate the larger vehicle, Škoda introduced new, larger production skids designed to improve workplace ergonomics and safety. Engineers also installed a new manipulator specifically for fitting the SUV’s third row of seats. Additional modifications were carried out in the press shop, body shop and paint shop to ensure smooth material flow and maintain production efficiency.
Alongside the Peaq, Škoda is continuing to broaden its electric vehicle range with the recently launched Epiq, an entry-level urban crossover produced in Pamplona, Spain, as part of Volkswagen Group’s Brand Group Core Electric Urban Car Family project.
