Škoda Elroq Pioneers Eco-Friendly Interiors with Advanced Recycled Materials

(IN BRIEF) Škoda has unveiled its new Elroq vehicle, which emphasizes sustainability through the use of advanced, eco-friendly materials in its interior design. The Elroq incorporates innovative materials such as Recytitan, made from recycled PET and post-consumer clothing, and Technofil, made from regenerated nylon sourced from waste like fishing nets and fabric scraps. These materials are part of Škoda’s commitment to reducing its environmental footprint while maintaining high standards of comfort and durability in its vehicles.

(PRESS RELEASE) MLADÁ BOLESLAV, 20-Aug-2024 — /EuropaWire/ — In an industry where sustainability is becoming increasingly critical, Škoda’s latest offering, the Elroq, sets a new standard by integrating advanced eco-friendly materials into its design. The Elroq’s interior is a testament to Škoda’s commitment to environmental stewardship, featuring innovative materials like Recytitan and Technofil, which align with the brand’s Modern Solid design ethos characterized by simplicity, spaciousness, and clean aesthetics.

The Elroq introduces these materials in a fresh approach, with Recytitan—comprising 78% recycled PET, including recycled plastic bottles and post-consumer clothing—used extensively throughout the vehicle’s interior. This material graces the door panels, seat covers, dashboard, and more, ensuring both sustainability and durability without compromising comfort.

Technofil, another standout material used in the Elroq, incorporates ECONYL® yarns, which are made from regenerated nylon sourced from discarded fishing nets, fabric scraps, and old carpets. This innovative material is highlighted in the Lodge Design Selection, featuring black fabric with light grey artificial leather and accented by orange stitching and seat belts.

With four Design Selections available—Studio, Loft, Lodge, and Suite—the Elroq offers consumers a variety of sustainable interior options, each uniquely crafted to reduce environmental impact. This approach not only emphasizes the brand’s dedication to reducing its carbon footprint but also offers customers an opportunity to choose a vehicle that aligns with their environmental values.

Škoda’s Elroq is a bold step forward in sustainable automotive design, demonstrating that luxury and eco-consciousness can coexist harmoniously.
