Every year Skoda tasks apprentices at its Mlad Boleslav HQ with designing, developing and building a one-off concept based on one of the company"s existing models. Results have beenmixed, to say the least (remember last year"s Karoq Convertible?). This year, though, the youths have cranked things up a notch with this the Kodiaq-based Mountiaq". Yep, the apprentices" sixth concept is effectively a Kodiaq pick-up. A bright orange one, no less. The Mountiaq took the 35 students 2,000 hours to finish. Work began last autumn, but production only started in January, ahead of a May deadline. After reinforcing the body, the students removed the Kodiaq"s roof, fitted a new rear panel and bed and shortened/widened the doors. Then they fitted running boards, the opening tailgate that was supposedly their "biggest challenge" and finally modified bumpers.
