Audi in Ingolstadt Audi has built cars at the Ingolstadt site for 75 years. This is where AUDI AG has its headquarters; around 40,000 employees (as of December 31, 2024) work in Ingolstadt to achieve “Vorsprung durch Technik”. From the initial idea to the finished automobile, the entire production process for the Audi Q2, Audi A3, Audi A6 e-tron, and Audi Q6 e-tron takes place at the Ingolstadt plant. 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 Audi A6 e-tron and Audi Q6 e-tron, two fully electric models are rolling off the line in Ingolstadt. 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 Audi headquarters in Ingolstadt is the first Audi plant in Germany with its own battery assembly facility Integration of production into existing body shop and assembly structures Board Member for Production and Logistics Gerd Walker: “We are harnessing electrification to comprehensively transform our existing plants.” Since production started in late 2023, the Audi Q6 e-tron series has been the first high-volume fully electric model series that Audi has produced at its headquarters in Ingolstadt. In keeping with the brand’s 360factory production strategy, Audi has integrated individual production steps into existing body shop and assembly structures and processes. Since January 1, 2024, Audi has also been manufacturing at its Ingolstadt site with net-zero emissions1. Moreover, the brand with the four rings’ headquarters is the first Audi location in Germany to have its own battery assembly facility. Audi CEO Gernot Döllner emphasizes the significance of the first model based on the Premium Platform Electric (PPE): “The PPE, and with it the Q6 e-tron series, form the basis for subsequent electric Audi models. In this way, we are taking a decisive step towards offering an electric model in all core segments in the medium term.” Audi Board Member for Production and Logistics Gerd Walker considers the start of production in late 2023 as an important milestone for the 360factory production strategy: “By the end of the decade, we will have successively equipped all Audi locations for electric mobility. We are harnessing electrification to comprehensively transform our existing plants. With the production of the Q6 e-tron series, the Ingolstadt plant is taking the next step towards becoming a 360factory.” Audi has a clear vision for the production of the future. As part of this holistic, sustainable approach, the company is modernizing, digitalizing, and transforming its existing plants.

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: Audi Ingolstadt has had net carbon-neutral production processes 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. The expansion at the main plant is continuing – around 41,000 square meters are currently under construction or in the planning stage. The heat supply is also carbon-neutral thanks to the use of biomethane. 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 22,700 megawatt hours of energy in 2024. 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. 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.
