A total of 650 Škoda Octavias (in the Chinese version) known as the Octavia Mingrui, are available to the organising committee at the Olympic games for transfers of sportsmen and their support staff.

The Volkswagen group has prepared a pavilion entitled the “Olympic Show Case” for all visitors to the Olympic games, and it is close to the “Bird’s Nest.” Here visitors can get to know the Škoda brand and its history, for example through the “Monte Carlo” Škoda Popular and a car currently produced by the automaker in China—the Octavia Mingrui.

After the end of the Olympic games, the Škoda Octavia cars will also be used by participants in the Paralympics, for which Škoda Auto is also the official automobile partner.
