Info about the current situation at the German locations

Dear Audi Employees,

On this page, you can find relevant information about the work situation at Audi – for instance, regarding reduced working hours. Information found here, including adjustments to operating procedures, exclusively pertains to the Ingolstadt and Neckarsulm locations.

Coronavirus information

Audi has lifted its mandatory on-site coronavirus protection measures. However, the company recommends wearing a mask wherever the minimum distance of 1.5 meters can’t be maintained. You can still get masks from Audi on request. Please note that you’re still required to wear a mask on the Healthcare department’s premises and in shuttle buses.

Adjustments to operating procedures starting in calendar week 26 (update June 23)

The component supply situation at the Audi locations remains strained. AUDI AG consequently extended reduced working hours at the Ingolstadt and Neckarsulm locations as a precaution through July 31, 2022. This mainly affects vehicle production and its tangential departments, as well as some other non-production departments. Detailed information to that end can be found in plant announcements Nr. 41/2022 IN and Nr. 35/2022 NSU.

Due to the ongoing strained supply situation, changes have been made to the operating procedures for calendar week 26.

Operating procedures in Ingolstadt starting on June 27

On assembly line 3, the late and permanent night shifts will be canceled.

Plant announcement Nr. 41/2022 IN has more information about these production procedures. Operating procedures may differ in certain production areas (e.g., the car body construction plant and the paint shop).

Operating procedures in Neckarsulm starting on June 27

The Neckarsulm location will produce the A6 and A7 models only during the early shift from June 27 through July 1. Operating procedures in upstream departments may differ. Details can be found in the latest plant announcement.

Production on the A8 will cease from June 27 through July 1.

Plant announcement Nr. 37/2022 NSU has more information about these production procedures.

Contribute to the Group-wide employee donation

The Board of Management and general works council of AUDI AG are calling on the staff to contribute to the Group-wide donation campaign for the people fleeing from the war in Ukraine. The donations will go to the UNO-Flüchtlingshilfe.

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).
