Semiconductors are critical innovation drivers for us as automakers. They enable us to provide customers with attractive assistance systems in our vehicles and are a key driver of our ongoing transformation towards e-mobility. We are working closely with our suppliers along the entire value chain and with our new partners from the semiconductor industry to ensure that we always have access to state-of-the-art semiconductors to provide great products to our customers. Not only Škoda, but the whole Volkswagen Group is generating great synergies as a result of its strategic partnership with onsemi.”  

Karsten Schnake, Škoda Auto Board of Management for Procurement and Head of Volkswagen Group’s cross-brand and cross-functional task force COMPASS (Cross Operational Management Parts & Supply Security)

Innovation driver from the Czech Republic

Together with the Volkswagen Group and political and business partners, Škoda Auto is working on turning its homebase – the Czech Republic – into an e-mobility hub. The semiconductor industry is an important part of this overarching project. onsemi plays a key role in this effort and currently employs over 2,200 employees across its operations in the country, which includes crystal pulling, wafer manufacturing, and two design centres.

onsemi is continuously innovating its intelligent power and sensing technologies to enable automakers to develop safer and more power efficient vehicles. By leveraging our technologies, automakers such as Škoda and Volkswagen Group, can meet the demands of today’s drivers with state-of-the-art advanced driver assist features and further accelerate the transition to electrification.”

Hassane El-Khoury, onsemi CEO

The Czech Republic is strengthening its position as a semiconductor centre and along with the German state of Saxony – is already a pacesetter in the semiconductor industry of the European Union.
