Audi in Ingolstadt

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.
