Will build to RR design. So if Vag isn't making the cars in the quantities they have investment in the power plants to make EVs run
. Skoda and Skoda thou. Suspect Skoda JS was separated after / before Vag bought the car business. The Skoda nuclear business dates back to the Russia period when the nationalised CZ companies after the war under USSR.
2025 agreement with RR:
Well Skoda JS came from the same company roots hence the name but like RR the RR cars are different from the reactor business. Businesses evolve and their ownership.

RR SMR design for those that don't know is based or close to whatever the RR submarine reactor design... so the story goes. Probably a wiki there somewhere or even a RR video:
So your EV or whatever (ie. data centre) in the future may be powered by RR designed electricity generation with CZ engineering components doing the critical reactor rod manipulation. Interesting manufacturing tie ups as the rush to build SMRs takes place.
