“The switch to BEVs presents a unique opportunity in North America,” says Döllner. And this opportunity must be seized systematically. “We’re working intensively to set the right strategic course in order to maximize our market penetration.” “We have a clear plan” Audi is a brand with an impressive success story: innovations like quattro and lightweight construc‑ tion, but also iconic vehicles such as the Audi TT¹² and successes in the world of motorsport have shaped the Four Rings to this day. However, electric mobility and digitalization have altered the rules of the game; the competition has become even more challenging as a result. “With the Audi Agenda, we’re facing up to these changes with confidence – we have a clear plan,” says Döllner. “In the coming years, we will advance ‘Vorsprung durch Technik’ and put many new models onto the road. And we have a strong team that lives the Audi spirit. I’ve been able to witness this for myself in my first few months with the company. I look for‑ ward to putting this plan into practice together with the entire workforce. Let’s all join forces to take Audi to the top again – just like we did at the Dakar Rally!” Gernot Döllner Chairman of the Board of Management of AUDI AG In the coming years, we will advance ‘Vorsprung durch Technik’ and put many new models onto the road. ² The models in this generation are not yet available for purchase. ¹² Audi TT: fuel consumption (combined) in l/100 km: 9.3–6.8; CO₂ emissions (combined) in g/km: 210–154; CO₂ class: G–E.

Our goal is to secure the key skills that Audi needs for its future areas of business by means of upskilling (i.e., learning more advanced skills) and reskilling (i.e., learning new skills). And it is working. In the last two years, there were around 8,000 participants in tailormade training programs in areas of future significance such as electric mobility and IT. This means, for example, that former combus tionengine engineers are now developing the electric drives of the future, former automotive mechatronics technicians are ensuring that batteries work properly and former production staff are active in the field of IT. Audi has earmarked a further education and training budget of up to EUR 500 million for the period up to 2025 – in my opinion, an extremely important invest ment in the future of the Four Rings.

What are the most important topics for the Four Rings? These are questions that the company addresses on an ongoing basis. This makes it aware of the impacts of its business activity and familiarizes it with the priorities of its stakeholders,¹ because it constantly engages with them on matters of central importance. A dialogue that provides an important impetus. Audi keeps its eye on the opportunities and risks of its actions, wants to make effective use of its resources and prioritize its activities in the fields of action that are most important for the company.

Together with champion skier Felix Neureuther, Audi explains where it saves carbon through‑ out the life cycle of its vehicles. Precision work for electric mobility: copper wires of the stator in an electric motor. ¹ The vehicles mentioned here are concept vehicles that are not available as series‑production vehicles. The automated driving functions mentioned are tech‑ nologies currently under development, are not available for series‑production vehicles and work only within system limits.

You can feel it with every fiber of your being – it’s awesome!” says Neureuther enthusiastically.
&Audi SocAIty study
In 50 years’ time, people may well wonder why we ever got behind the wheel ourselves in the first place given this uncertainty. Equally, for many, the car is so much more than just a mode of transport. Many are not (yet) ready to give up the feeling of driving themselves, of literally taking the wheel in their hands. Indeed, beyond the technical maturity of autonomous driving systems, the social dimension is also key to achieving widespread acceptance. This study seeks to address society’s questions on autonomous driving. Experts from academia, business, associations and politics draw on their respective expertise to shed light on these issues, with the focus of the conversation falling on law, ethics and data protection. Saskia Lexen Project Manager, Initiative &Audi 3 4 The focus of the present study is on the core issues surrounding autonomous driving, both today and tomorrow. It considers where technology and society currently stand on the subject, what the near future of mobility with autonomous vehicles could look like and which issues and areas of activity are key steps on the road to an autonomous future. To this end, 19 international experts from the fields of law, ethics and data were interviewed and asked to give an understanding of their views. While local and professional differences did arise, on many points the results were unanimous. The consensus is that the time has come to move away from envisioning a future which bears little resemblance to reality and instead to work together on establishing a realistic vision of the near future. In order to do so, this study not only addresses the usual topics, such as the further development of key technologies and infrastructure, but also explores a new mindset in handling technological innovations. These experts showcase routes from their respective fields to discover more pragmatic solutions and promote greater collaboration and call for open and transparent communication with the public.
