Skoda, a Czech car manufacturer headquartered in Mladá Boleslav, was founded in 1895 in the Bohemian Kingdom, which was a part of the Austro-Hungarian Empire (now split into the Czech Republic). It was originally called Laurin & Klement, named after its founders Václav Laurin and Václav Klement. In 1948, Skoda Auto, then under the ownership of Skoda Works, became a state-owned enterprise. After 1991, Skoda gradually privatized and became a subsidiary of the Volkswagen Group in 2000.
