An earthquake measuring 7.8 on the Richter scale shook southeastern Turkey and northern Syria on February 6. The true extent of the disaster still cannot be estimated. Audi is donating one million euros in aid to UNO-Flüchtlingshilfe.

After the Volkswagen Group announced a first wave of financial aid on behalf of all group brands shortly after the earthquake, AUDI AG is now making another important contribution to humanitarian support with its donation of one million euros. “The people of Turkey and Syria are suffering greatly from the consequences of this terrible disaster. We cannot simply stand by and watch; instead we are providing concrete aid,” says Xavier Ros, Member of the Board of Management for Human Resources and Organization at AUDI AG. “We are all still shocked by the images and news coming out of Turkey and Syria. We are all the more grateful to AUDI AG for its exemplary, highly valuable aid for the people there,” comments Peter Ruhenstroth-Bauer, National Director of UNO-Flüchtlingshilfe.

Great sympathy among Audi employees

The solidarity within AUDI AG is also vast. A section of the workforce with Turkish roots has families and friends who live in the affected areas. Furthermore, there is a great deal of sympathy and willingness to help among all Audi employees. A Group-wide staff donation for the victims of the earthquake amounted to nearly 270,000 euros – donations can still be made at https://www.drk.de/volkswagen/. Audi employees have already demonstrated their willingness to help on several past occasions, for example the war in Ukraine or the 2021 flood catastrophe in Germany.

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).
