Audi Tradition - Anniversary Dates 2024
The merger of NSU and Auto Union to create Audi NSU Auto Union AG sparked rumours that the K 70 would not be built as a product to rival the Audi 100 and VW 411/412. But this did not happen and VW adopted the last new car to be developed in Neckarsulm, getting it ready for production with help from former NSU engineers at the newly constructed plant in Salzgitter within a year. From August 1970 to May 1975, 211,127 VW K 70 rolled off the production line in Lower Saxony. Audi Tradition 18 Anniversary Dates 2024 Takeover of Auto Union GmbH by Volkswagenwerk AG Years 60 1964 was a key turning point for Auto Union in Ingolstadt. In an extraordinary meeting of the shareholders on 16 December 1964, those present decided to increase the share capital from 80 to 160 million DM. At the same time, the acquisition of 51% of the capital by Volkswagenwerk AG, which had been prepared back in October of the same year, received the required approval. The officials thus initiated the gradual takeover of Auto Union GmbH from Daimler-Benz AG (previously the sole shareholder) by Volkswagenwerk AG. The takeover became legally effective on 1 January 1965. The rest of the shares were acquired from Daimler-Benz in further stages. From 1 November 1966, Auto Union GmbH was a fully owned subsidiary of VW. Audi Tradition 19 Anniversary Dates 2024 DKW F 102 The long-awaited successor to the outdated Auto Union 1000 made its debut at the International Motor Show in Frankfurt in September 1963, but only hit the market in March 1964. Hailed as the “Formula of Progress”, the DKW F 102 was a car with a modern design that was noted for its self-supporting body which was a departure from the separate design of chassis and body that had previously been customary at the company. But the grand DKW was still fitted with a three-cylinder, two-stroke engine. It was set to be the final two-stroke passenger car in the company’s history; the last DKW F 102 rolled off the production line in March 1966.

As part of a plan to modernise the products at the then subsidiary Auto Union GmbH, Kraus was posted to Ingolstadt where from 1 October 1963 he was the director in charge of vehicle development. After Auto Union GmbH was acquired by Volkswagenwerk AG in December 1964, Ludwig Kraus joined the management team of the Ingolstadt-based company in 1965. His biggest achievement was developing a modern range of Audi vehicles which were launched as the successors to the DKW models with two-stroke engines from the end of 1965. The Audi 60/Super 90, Audi 100, Audi 80 and Audi 50 model series which he created blazed the trail for the company's further development. Following the merger with NSU Werke AG to create Audi NSU Auto Union AG, from 1 September 1969 Kraus was appointed as the board member with responsibility for technical development. Ludwig Kraus retired on 31 December 1973. Between 1976 and 1985 he was a member of the Supervisory Board of Audi NSU Auto Union AG. Ludwig Kraus died on 19 September 1997. 25th anniversary of death of Ludwig Kraus25 years Audi Tradition 8 Anniversary Dates 2022 First Audi Avant in the B-series 30 The Avant version, which was introduced with the second-generation Audi 100, gets its name from the Italian word “avanti”, which means “forwards”. The first Avant model in the lower mid-range class was launched on the market in September 1992 with the Audi 80 Avant (B4 series). The new model was available with nine different engines ranging in power from 90 to 315 hp and became a best-seller. With the 80 Avant, Audi succeeded in making a strong entry into the lifestyle estate car market segment.

This is the burning question for many experts, mobility users and companies alike. Will all cars be self-driving? Will passenger and delivery drones crowd our skies? What will this mean for our cities or for rural regions? Such questions surrounding potential future scenarios are currently at the heart of a highly controversial conversation – depending on your point of view, utopian or dystopian ideas set the tone of the debate. Overall, the World of Mobility is Diversifying Over the course of the interviews, all of our experts were asked about their vision of the year 2030, with a surprisingly unanimous result. The prevailing opinion was that the mobility landscape in 2030 will almost certainly be both more fragmented and more complex than it is today. According to the experts, this is primarily a result of the fact that we find ourselves in a transitional phase in which new mobility options are becoming increasingly established across all areas. This will, the experts believe, lead to a fragmentation of the market as a whole, at least temporarily. Nevertheless, the existing infrastructure will by and large prevail.

GRI 102-40, 102-42, 102-43, 102-44, 102-45, 102-46, 102-47, 102-48, 102–49 Querverweis_0-3_UeberBericht 7About the ReportAudi Report 2020 (stakeholder relevance). This enabled the company to identify all the topics that are highly relevant for Audi and its stakeholders and that have a substantial impact on the environment and society.2 The findings of this materiality analysis provide a structure for this report. Topic matrix The topic matrix featured in the Sustainability Report 2019 serves as the basis for the combined annual and sustainability report and was further developed by incorporating content from corporate and financial reporting. This process resulted in an extension, what is known as the Content Wheel see page 315, which highlights the material topics in five chapters – “Strategy,” “ Operations & Integrity,” “Products & Services,” “Value Creation & Production” and “Employees & Society.” In addition, as was the case with the Sustainability Report 2019, the Content Wheel ensures that all those involved constantly have their sights set on corporate strategies, reporting standards of the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) and the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) when it comes to the topic of sustainability. Standards and auditing The report was prepared in accordance with the “core” option of the GRI standards and confirmed by the organization with the GRI Materiality Disclosures Service. An independent auditing firm performed a limited assurance engagement on selected sustainability key figures for 2020 in the overview “Audi Sustainability Key Figures” see page 323.
