Info about the current situation at the German locations

Dear Audi employees,

On this page, you can find relevant information relating to the labor situation at Audi – for instance, in the event of reduced working hours. The information you find here – including adjustments to production procedures – applies exclusively to the Neckarsulm and Ingolstadt locations.

Please test yourself for the coronavirus at home on your first workday after your vacation, or get tested at a testing station for free – before making your way to work. Take advantage of the test offering even if you’re fully vaccinated, if you’re boosted or if you have recovered.

Do you have symptoms such as coughing, sniffles, frequent sneezing and/or body aches? Please call your manager before starting work, and don’t come to work sick.

Also keep in mind the vaccination offering from the Audi Healthcare department for first, second and booster vaccinations. Current vaccination dates can be found on Audi mynet and at www.weare.audi

Info about the Infection Protection Act

Workplace admittance only with valid 3G proof

This regulation has been in effect since November 24 for all employees who can’t rule out contact with others during their work on site. It doesn’t matter whether they’re customers, employees or other people. Even if you predominantly work from home, you still have to bring proof when you attend an appointment or work on site.

Please note: You as an employee are responsible for and legally required to be able to prove your 3G status before entering the workplace – in combination with your work or personal ID, if necessary.

  • Vaccinated: You have to prove that you’re completely vaccinated, either with your vaccination record or with your CovPass, luca, GreenPass or Corona-Warn-App apps.
  • Recovered: You have to prove with a valid attestation that you’re officially considered to have recovered. This attestation may not be older than six months.
  • Tested: Every day, you have to submit official written proof of a negative antigen quick test that’s not older than 24 hours or a PCR test that’s not older than 48 hours.

Only test certificates (either printed or electronic on a smartphone) issued by an official test site are allowed. The Audi swab-test sites run by the Healthcare department do not offer tests for this purpose. The results of coronavirus self-tests carried out at home are not authorized as proof by the Infection Protection Act.

Overview of public test sites around Ingolstadt and Neckarsulm

On Audi mynet and at weare.audi, under “Coronavirus info” in the right column, you can find an overview of public test sites in the regions around Ingolstadt and Neckarsulm.

Public coronavirus testing stations at the Ingolstadt location

At hall B, across from gate 10 (former self-test container next to the Audi swab-test site), employees can get free antigen quick tests from a private service provider starting at 6:00 p.m. on December 22. At gate 9 (building T36, Café Vergissmeinnicht) and gate 7, public testing stations will open up and start offering free coronavirus tests starting at 7:00 a.m. on January 10, 2022. At parking lot P2 across from gate 2, employees can have free tests done starting at 7:00 a.m. on January 12. Please note: All public testing stations on the Audi premises can be accessed without a work ID, and they’ll all offer free coronavirus tests. This means that even people who don’t work at Audi can take advantage of this offer.

Scheduling an appointment at the public coronavirus testing stations at the Ingolstadt plant

  • Scheduling an appointment is not required at gate 10 (testing station in front of hall B). A smartphone with the Corona-Warn-App installed will get you your test results faster.
  • At gates 7 and 9, employees can book an appointment in advance on the website www.covidzentrum.de, but they can also get tested without prior registration.
  • At gate 2, employees can only get tested without prior registration. Data can be registered the fastest at the testing station with a health insurance card. Employees can alternatively enter their data in advance at www.corona-test-bayern.de and generate a QR code, then show this either printed out or as a screenshot on their smartphones. In a pinch, presentation of a personal ID will suffice. If this is the case, though, employees should plan for more time, as the data will have to be entered at the testing station manually.

Detailed info about the new admittance regulation and further info about the Infection Protection Act can be found under “Coronavirus info” on Audi mynet or on the website www.weare.audi.

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).
