Skoda Elroq: The small Enyaq excels in sustainability

Through the innovative use of materials such as Recytitan and Technofil, the new Škoda Elroq, essentially a shortened version of the Enyaq, aims to open new perspectives for sustainable automotive design. True to the design motto "Modern Solid," the interior is characterized by simplicity, spaciousness, and clear lines. Selected materials emphasize the VW subsidiary's commitment to environmental protection and reducing the carbon footprint of its vehicles: seat covers and upholstery are made from recycled plastic bottles and, for the first time, also from repurposed old clothes. These are processed into new fibers and high-quality fabrics. With this, the Czech automaker aims to come closer to achieving its sustainability goals.
 

Four Design Selections, Use of Even More Sustainable Materials

In addition, it is said to offer a spacious interior. Four designs are available, each intended to use even more sustainable materials than in previous models. The "Loft" line, for example, uses recycled titanium. The material consists of 78 percent recycled PET bottles and – for the first time by the manufacturer – upcycled old clothes. The dark, gray-blue fiber is combined with dark faux leather details and yellow contrast stitching. The "Lodge" line uses the Technofil material, which consists, among other things, of ECONYL fibers made of regenerated nylon. This, in turn, is created from old fishing nets and fabric remnants, for example.
