Involvement in the region

The principle of living responsibility is firmly anchored in the Audi strategy.

  • As a good corporate citizen, Audi is part of society. As one of the largest employers in the Neckarsulm region, Audi strives to enhance the quality of life here and therefore regularly collaborates with the municipalities, local companies, associations and educational and social institutions.
  • Audi bundles community service activities and supports the volunteer efforts of its employees under the motto “Audi Volunteers.”
  • Donations for a good cause: In 2020, Audi Neckarsulm employees and the company raised a total of 280,000 euros in donations. The Christmas donation is handed over to charitable institutions in the region. In the Wishing Tree donation campaign, employees also fulfill individual Christmas wishes of disadvantaged children and young refugees each year.
  • Audi supports various social institutions in the region according to funding guidelines.
  • In 2020, nine young persons with mental and physical disabilities were provided valuable insights into professional life as part of an inclusion program sponsored by Audi Neckarsulm and the Astrid Lindgren School in Neckarsulm. Up until the corona lockdown in spring 2020, the Astrid Lindgren School students worked throughout the school year at learning stations at the Audi plant in addition to their classroom work. The fourth school year for the inclusion program is scheduled to begin in September 2021.
  • Shaping mobility: To ease the traffic situation at the site and make public transport even more attractive to employees, Audi cooperates with the local public transit company Heilbronner Verkehrsgesellschaft (HNV), Deutsche Bahn and the regional city and scheduled bus services. The “Stadtbahn Nord” light rail system began service to two stops directly at the Audi plant in late 2014. Employees benefit from the Audi job ticket, a company-subsidized annual pass for the public transportation system.
  • Audi has been working with partners in government, public transportation and other companies since 2017 to develop additional measures for improving the transportation situation in the region as part of the Heilbronn-Neckarsulm Mobility Agreement. Audi also support the expansion of electric charging infrastructure in the region. A total of 600 charging terminals will be available at the Neckarsulm site by mid-2022.

The specified fuel consumption and emission data have been determined according to the measurement procedures prescribed by law. Since 1st September 2017, certain new vehicles are already being type-approved according to the Worldwide Harmonized Light Vehicles Test Procedure (WLTP), a more realistic test procedure for measuring fuel consumption and CO2 emissions. Starting on September 1st 2018, the New European Driving Cycle (NEDC) will be replaced by the WLTP in stages. Owing to the more realistic test conditions, the fuel consumption and CO2 emissions measured according to the WLTP will, in many cases, be higher than those measured according to the NEDC. Therefore, the usage of CO2 emission values measured according to WLTP for vehicle taxation from 1st September 2018 on can cause changes in this regards as well. For further information on the differences between the WLTP and NEDC, please visit www.audi.de/wltp.

We are currently still required by law to state the NEDC figures. In the case of new vehicles which have been type-approved according to the WLTP, the NEDC figures are derived from the WLTP data. It is possible to specify the WLTP figures voluntarily in addition until such time as this is required by law. In cases where the NEDC figures are specified as value ranges, these do not refer to a particular individual vehicle and do not constitute part of the sales offering. They are intended exclusively as a means of comparison between different vehicle types. Additional equipment and accessories (e.g. add-on parts, different tire formats, etc.) may change the relevant vehicle parameters, such as weight, rolling resistance and aerodynamics, and, in conjunction with weather and traffic conditions and individual driving style, may affect fuel consumption, electrical power consumption, CO2 emissions and the performance figures for the vehicle.

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 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, D-73760 Ostfildern, Germany and at www.dat.de.
