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 29 (update July 21)

The component supply situation at the Audi locations remains strained. The company can’t currently foresee whether work cancellations can be avoided. AUDI AG is consequently extending reduced working hours as a precaution at the Ingolstadt and Neckarsulm locations through September 30, 2022. Due to the production break in August, the company has announced potential reduced working hours for these two months. This mainly affects vehicle production and its tangential departments, as well as some non-production departments. More info can be found in plant announcements Nr. 51/2022 IN and Nr. 43/2022 NSU.

Due to the ongoing strained supply situation, adjustments have been made to the operating procedures.

Operating procedures in Ingolstadt in the week starting on July 25

On assembly line 3, the late shift will be canceled through July 29.

Plant announcement Nr. 52/2022 IN has more information about the production procedures for July/August. Operating procedures may differ in certain production areas (e.g., the car body construction plant and the paint shop).

The planned operating procedures for September at the Ingolstadt location can be found in plant announcement Nr. 53/2022 IN.

Operating procedures in Neckarsulm starting on July 25

The company and works council are determining how to ramp down the individual production areas for the summer break. Your manager will provide more information about this in due time.

The planned operating procedures for August and September at the Neckarsulm location can be found in plant announcement Nr. 42/2022 NSU.

Potential changes to operating procedures after the production break

It’s possible that Audi will have to adjust the operating procedures communicated here starting on August 22, 2022 (restart after the production break), at the last minute.

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).
