Nadace AUTOEK works with Czech automotive suppliers, universities and workers to bring ecological thinking into how vehicles are designed, built and recycled.

Mission & vision
West Bohemia has built cars and components for more than a century. Our founders — engineers and environmental specialists from the Plzeň region — saw that small and mid-sized suppliers were often left out of the green transition: too small for consultancy budgets, too important to ignore.
Our vision is a Central European automotive industry where every part, from a bracket to a battery cell, is made with measurable care for air, water and soil — and where the people who make them have the skills to lead that change.
Key pillars
Practical audits and mentoring that help tier-2 and tier-3 suppliers measure and cut their emissions.
Seed funding for university and laboratory teams working on sustainable materials and processes.
Pilot schemes for end-of-life vehicles, battery recovery and production-scrap reuse.
Hands-on training on EU environmental rules for engineers, managers and students.
