#AudiTogether

Audi consequently takes social responsibility and promotes education, charitable institutions, voluntary engagement and sports and culture.

Social Responsiblity

Audi assumes social responsibility at its sites and supports education, sports and culture as well as charitable foundations and volunteering.
The “Audi volunteers” format helps employees with their corporate citizenship. This includes the Audi Volunteer Day and special campaigns like the “Team Spirit Initiative”, in which employees apply for donations from the company on behalf of “their” associations. The annual Christmas appeal, other donations throughout the year, as well as disaster relief efforts in Germany and abroad, have been a part of the corporate culture for years. Furthermore, social institutions at the production sites are supported with adequate help.

Second-life use: Audi e-tron battery modules power electrify rickshaws in India

A second life for electric car batteries: The German–Indian start-up Nunam is bringing three electric rickshaws to the roads of India. They are powered by used batteries taken from test vehicles in the Audi e-tron test fleet. The aim of the project is to explore how modules made with high-voltage batteries can be reused after their car life cycle and become a viable second-life use case. The project also aims to strengthen job opportunities for women in India in particular: They will be provided with the e-rickshaws to transport their goods. The non-profit start-up based in Berlin and Bangalore is funded by the Audi Environmental Foundation. Nunam developed the three prototypes in collaboration with the training team at Audi’s Neckarsulm site, which in turn benefits from the intensive intercultural exchange. This is the first joint project between both AUDI AG and the Audi Environmental Foundation in addition to Nunam.

Solar lighting for Brazil: Audi supporting remote villages in the Amazon region

The Audi Environmental Foundation and Audi do Brasil are jointly supporting the NGO Litro de Luz Brasil, which is supplying solar lighting to three villages in the Amazon region without a reliable connection to the power grid.

In addition, it is providing families with solar-powered hand lamps that can be used both at home and outside the home. They are designed to improve access to education, for example, by enabling villagers to read or complete schoolwork. More than 100 Brazilian families will benefit from the project.

The indicated consumption and emissions values were determined according to the legally specified measuring methods. The WLTP test cycle completely replaced the NEDC on January 1, 2022, which means that no NEDC figures are available for vehicles with new type approvals from after this date.

The figures do not refer to a single, specific vehicle and are not part of the offering but are instead provided solely to allow comparisons of the different vehicle types. Additional equipment and accessories (add-on parts, different tire formats, etc.) may change 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.

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. This may result in corresponding changes in vehicle taxation since September 1, 2018. Additional information about the differences between WLTP and NEDC is available at www.audi.de/wltp

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, Germany (www.dat.de).
