Operating procedures in calendar week 41

Ingolstadt/Neckarsulm, October 6, 2022 – The component supply situation at the Audi locations remains strained. The company can’t currently foresee whether work cancellations can be avoided. AUDI AG consequently extended reduced working hours at the Ingolstadt and Neckarsulm locations through October 31, 2022, as a precaution. This mainly affects vehicle production and its tangential departments, as well as some non-production departments. 

Further info can be found in plant announcements Nr. 60/2022 IN and Nr. 53/2022 NSU.

You can get more detailed information directly from your manager.

Due to the ongoing strained supply situation, some changes have been made to the operating procedures at both German locations:

Operating procedures in Ingolstadt in the week starting on October 10

On assembly line 3 (A3/Q2), the late shift will be canceled in calendar week 41. Production on all other lines will remain unchanged. Operating procedures may differ in certain production areas (e.g., the car body construction plant and the paint shop). More detailed info can be found in plant announcement 64/2022 IN.

Operating procedures in Neckarsulm in the week starting on October 10

Production on the A8 will only be carried out during the late shift from October 10 through October 14. Upstream departments may differ. Production on all other product lines will continue as planned. Plant announcement 58/2022 NSU has more information about these production procedures.

The indicated consumption and emissions values were determined according to the legally specified measuring methods. Since September 1, 2017, type approval for certain new vehicles has been performed in accordance with the Worldwide Harmonized Light Vehicles Test Procedure (WLTP), a more realistic test procedure for measuring fuel consumption and CO2 emissions. Since September 1, 2018, the WLTP has gradually replaced the New European Driving Cycle (NEDC). Due to the more realistic test conditions, the consumption and CO2 emission values measured are in many cases higher than the values measured according to the NEDC. Additional information about the differences between WLTP and NEDC is available at www.audi.de/wltp.

At the moment, it is still mandatory to communicate the NEDC values. In the case of new vehicles for which type approval was performed using WLTP, the NEDC values are derived from the WLTP values. WLTP values can be provided voluntarily until their use becomes mandatory. If NEDC values are indicated as a range, they do not refer to one, specific vehicle and are not an integral element of the offer. They are provided only for the purpose of comparison between the various vehicle types. Additional equipment and accessories (attachment parts, tire size, etc.) can change relevant vehicle parameters, such as weight, rolling resistance and aerodynamics and, like weather and traffic conditions as well as individual driving style, influence a vehicle’s electric power consumption, CO2 emissions and performance figures.

Further information on official fuel consumption figures and the official specific CO2 emissions of new passenger cars can be found in the “Guide on the fuel economy, CO2 emissions and power consumption of all new passenger car models”, which is available free of charge at all sales dealerships and from DAT Deutsche Automobil Treuhand GmbH, Hellmuth-Hirth-Str. 1, 73760 Ostfildern-Scharnhausen, Germany (www.dat.de).
