Mladá Boleslav, 29 May 2025 – Fifty-five years ago, a local importer in Karachi, Pakistan, began producing the Škoda Skopak. The pick-up, based on the Škoda Octavia Combi, was developed specifically for the needs of the local market. The technical design was led by Josef Velebný, who drew on his experience with the Trekka, a model created for New Zealand. Production of the Skopak halted prematurely in late 1971 due to a military conflict. In total, around 1,400 vehicles were built in a range of different versions.
