Ingolstadt is sourcing the electric motors for the new Premium Platform Electric (PPE) technology platform from the world's largest powertrain plant in Győr, Hungary. Audi Hungaria manufactures electric motors for the PPE on three newly installed production lines. The motors are then transported to Ingolstadt by the transportation and logistics company DB Cargo with zero emissions.
The heart of the Audi Group beats at the Ingolstadt site. When the Auto Union GmbH was founded in Ingolstadt more than 70 years ago, it opened a new chapter in the history of the automobile manufacturer, which was previously based in the German state of Saxony.
Net carbon-neutral production site: After Brussels (Belgium, 2018) and Győr (Hungary, 2020), Audi Ingolstadt is the third Audi plant to manufacture under net carbon-neutral conditions since the beginning of 2024. Audi has been producing cars in Ingolstadt exclusively with green electricity since 2012. In addition, solar panels have been installed there on an area of approximately 23,000 square meters. As another measure, nearby industrial facilities supply the location with net carbon-neutral waste heat, for example, from a neighboring refinery and the municipal waste recycling plant. This allows the site to meet almost all its energy needs from renewable sources. Thanks to its energy management, the location was also able to save more than 34,800 megawatt hours of energy and avoid over 4,560 tons of carbon emissions in 2023. Any emissions that Audi cannot yet avoid (a maximum of ten percent of the original carbon emissions) are offset by purchasing carbon credits that are certified according to the highest quality standards, such as The Gold Standard. Net carbon neutrality was certified by independent experts. Audi is also focusing on consistently reducing emissions outside the factory gates. As early as 2010, Audi was the first company to use trains that run on green power. The company has been operating carbon-free rail logistics in Germany with DB Cargo. In addition, two modern plug-in hybrid locomotives are used at the Ingolstadt site for shunting work. The company is also continuously working to increase the proportion of rail traffic, for example, through the combined use of different rail and road carriers and alternative drive technologies for road shipments. Water use: Since 2019, Audi has operated a process water supply center with a membrane bioreactor in Ingolstadt to use water even more efficiently.

The Audi Ingolstadt location continues to develop into a networked digital factory for the electrified future. Modern production systems and high-tech solutions enable highly efficient, sustainable manufacturing. With the start of production for the Audi Q6 e-tron, a fully electric model is now rolling off the line in Ingolstadt for the first time. By making the assembly lines more flexible across the board and thanks to a battery assembly facility located nearby, the location is well prepared for the gradual shift to electric mobility and production of additional fully electric models. The largest production facility in the Audi Group is the economic engine of the region and, as the primary plant and a high-tech site, it brings five locations together in one think tank: Audi Ingolstadt factory (headquarters with Technical Development.) Münchsmünster manufacturing site (module/system production and press shop.)
