A new era began in Ingolstadt 60 years ago: the first post-Second World War Audi rolled off the assembly line on August 13, 1965. And on that occasion, after a quarter of a century, Auto Union GmbH once again adopted the traditional Audi brand name. The name itself was intended to demonstrate the model’s status as a technical pioneer. It was, after all, Audi’s first automobile with a four-cylinder, four-stroke engine. The Audi, known internally as the F 103, was a resounding success and spawned an entire model series that – with further developments in design and technology – remained in production until 1972.
One year ago, Audi set a lap record on the Nürburgring Nordschleife with the RS 3, making it the fastest compact car on the 20.832-kilometer racetrack in the Eifel to date. With an optimized chassis setup, semi-slick tires, and 400 PS from the legendary five-cylinder engine, the updated RS 3 was more than seven seconds faster than the pre-facelift version.
As a real-world laboratory, low-volume production at Böllinger Höfe plays a key role in advancing digitalization in production and logistics in line with Audi's 360factory. Audi Sport is collaborating with partners from the Fraunhofer Heilbronn Research and Innovation Centers HNFIZ to explore the future of the picking process in automotive manufacturing using a new approach. First, a needs analysis identified the areas and activities with the greatest potential to optimize processes and reduce employees' workload. In the next step, the research partners will now trial a wide range of technologies from the fields of artificial intelligence (AI) and robotics in a designated area in production until the end of the year.
Audi has built almost ten million C-series vehicles. The ninth generation is now on sale in Europe – the A6 Avant. A great opportunity for a family photo with Audi employees presenting their C models from across the generations.
It’s all about working together for a good cause. For the second time, Audi has called on employees worldwide to take part in Audi Social Day. This year, more than 1,100 volunteers are taking part in a total of around 100 projects at Audi sites.
