Profile of Audi in China
As a result of the two-partner strategy implemented in 2021, Audi possesses its largest model portfolio in China to date. Furthermore, Audi has successfully launched the new EV brand “AUDI” in 2024 to reach new tech-savvy target groups. AUDI will unveil the first production model at the Shanghai Auto Show in April 2025. Production is set to start and deliveries to commence only a few months later. With the Audi FAW NEV Company, Audi is laying more important groundwork for expansion of the local electric portfolio. Production of all-electric Audi models based on the PPE platform at a new plant in Changchun commenced in late 2024. Audi in the Chinese market The history of Audi in China goes back a long way: the company has had a presence there for more than 35 years. In 1988, it began its cooperation with the Chinese automaker First Automotive Works (FAW). As such, Audi was the first foreign premium manufacturer in the market and also the first to adapt its product portfolio to the specific needs of Chinese customers, for example by offering Audi models with extended wheelbases. AUDI AG is represented in Beijing by its 100%-owned subsidiary, Audi China. More than 700 employees at Audi China coordinate the cooperation between AUDI AG and its partners, the joint venture FAW-Volkswagen with head office in Changchun and – since 2021 – SAIC Volkswagen in Anting (Shanghai). With its two partners, Audi manufactures vehicles at a total of seven locations: Changchun, Foshan, Tianjin, Qingdao, Anting (Shanghai), and Ningbo. Furthermore, Audi launched the new EV brand “AUDI” in late 2024 to reach new tech-savvy target groups. One of the main focuses of Audi China is on the intensification of local research and development activities in order to offer market-specific technologies and products for the Chinese market. Audi China R&D develops models, products, and technologies that are specifically adapted to local customer requirements.

Für den Standort Neustadt wurde die Anzahl an Nutzer_innen (Erprobungsfahrten) pro Jahr als Referenzwert festgelegt. Darüber hinaus werden für das fahrzeugproduzierende Werk zusätzlich die produzierten Fahrzeuge (in Stück pro Jahr) sowie die für Extern gefertigten Pressteile (in t pro Jahr) ausgewiesen. Kernindikator R: Diese Indikatoren stellen das Verhältnis der Kernindikatoren A zu B dar: R = A/B. Somit werden eingesetzte Materialien, Stoffströme und Energiemengen in Relation zum Produktoutput (Gesamtausbringungsmenge bzw. Anzahl Kunden_innen) betrachtet. Impact Points (IP) Um die Umweltleistung der Standorte mit all den ver- schiedenen Umweltaspekten gesamtheitlich darzustellen, kommt seit 2023 die Impact Points Methode zum Ein- satz. Diese Umweltleistungsbewertung wurde von Volks- wagen, den verschiedenen Marken und externen Part- nern entwickelt. Für die Einordnung und Gewichtung der Umweltauswirkungen werden sieben quantifizierbare Umweltaspekte (Primärenergiebedarf, CO₂-Äquivalente, Luftschadstoffe, lokaler Wasserverbrauch, Wasserschad- stoffe, Abfallaufkommen, Kraftwerksemissionen) be- trachtet und mit sogenannten Ökofaktoren bewertet. Für jeden Umweltaspekt gibt es einen eigenen anzu- wendenden Ökofaktor. Die Ökofaktoren wurden ent- sprechend der “Methode der ökologischen Knappheit“ (MöK-Methode) gebildet. Die Höhe eines Ökofaktors beschreibt dabei sowohl die Relevanz eines Umweltaspektes im Vergleich zu einem anderen Aspekt als auch die Belastbarkeit des Ökosystems. Je weniger Belastung das Ökosystem verträgt, desto höher ist der Ökofaktor. Die Belastbarkeitsgrenze orientiert sich dabei an nationalen Gesetzgebungen, internatio- nalen Zielen oder wissenschaftlichen Prinzipien. Die Umweltbelastung (Impact Points) eines Umweltaspekts (z.
