We are delighted to have teamed up with 4screen, an experienced partner with a large network and established technology.

The 4screen Mobility Experience Cloud (MXC) enables ŠKODA to connect its vehicles with relevant brands. 4screen's extensive business partner network provides drivers with tailored offers and exclusive in-car benefits. Through the 4screen network, partners also reap rewards by increasing brand awareness and engagement with their audience.
