And today, the company has two reasons to celebrate, this is reported by the railway transport news portal, Railway Supply.

Škoda celebrated in 1918

It’s an important date for Škoda as it marks the founding day of the independent Czechoslovak state and one of the successful projects of the company, the 1 Lo locomotive.

At that time, Škoda was already producing the first components for locomotives, and only two years later, the world saw Škoda’s first locomotive, the 1 Lo. The era of producing excellent railway vehicles began with its delivery to Czechoslovak Railways.

Since then, Škoda’s portfolio has diversified, including not only mass transport vehicles but also airplanes, cars, turbines, equipment for sugar refineries, and other products.

The 1 Lo locomotive was one of the first locomotives produced by Škoda at the beginning of its history in the field of railway engineering.

This locomotive was a significant achievement for Škoda and Czechoslovakia.

The 1 Lo was a locomotive designed for railway transportation and intended for use on Czechoslovak Railways.

It was part of Škoda’s early steps in railway machine development.

The 1 Lo became a symbol of the beginning of Škoda’s production of high-quality railway vehicles.

Since then, the company has continued to develop and modernize its locomotives and other railway products, becoming one of the leading manufacturers of railway technology in the world.
