Audi as an attractive employer

Vehicle production at the Neckarsulm site

Audi offers its employees a modern work environment, space for innovation, and diverse possibilities for individual development with attractive salaries and a high level of job security. Audi employees are actively helping to shape future topics such as electric mobility and digitalization. The corporate values of appreciation, openness, trust, and integrity are a mainstay of the company’s culture.

As part of the transformation, the Neckarsulm site will help shape important future topics such as electromobility and digitalization. With targeted qualification and advanced training programs tailored to individual employees, Audi is preparing its workforce for tomorrow’s tasks.

  • With its training program “Digital Shift – in Production and Logistics”, Audi is expanding IT expertise at its Neckarsulm site. IT-minded employees and interested staff can use their potential and learn the ropes in strategic future jobs. The program will also serve as the blueprint for additional pilot projects.
  • In the area of electromobility, employees have the opportunity to qualify for the development of high-volt batteries, in part through a specially designed program from the university Technische Hochschule Ingolstadt. They also take various learning modules at the Audi Academy and can put the knowledge they put directly into practice.
  • In advanced training to become an electrical specialist in battery and vehicle technology, employees learn about the potential hazards of handling batteries and everything else they need to know for their daily work.
  • In the Böllinger Höfe industrial park, Audi has set up an advanced training center for electromobility, car IT, and automotive engineering. In the direct vicinity of the Audi e-tron GT* production site, employees can use digital learning methods among others to develop their professional skills there.
  • With the Center for Advanced Studies at the Baden-Wuerttemberg Cooperative State University (DHBW), the Neckarsulm site offers a qualification program for an introduction to the development of electric drives. The program supports the transformation of the workforce in engine development.
  • Additionally, the educational campus in Heilbronn affords employees at the Audi site in Neckarsulm numerous prospects to help advance the digital factory transformation and the transition to electromobility.

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).
