Audi Sport has stood for “Vorsprung durch Technik” in international motorsports since 1981. Whether at the World Rally Championship, Pikes Peak, super touring car championships, DTM, GT racing, Le Mans prototypes, Formula E, or Rallye Dakar: In an impressive performance, Audi has triumphed in all motorsport projects with numerous victories and major championship titles. In customer racing, international customer teams driving Audi Sport GmbH models vie to come out on top in circuit races. Audi will enter Formula 1 for the time in 2026. The knowledge that Audi Sport GmbH has gained in motorsports is reflected in all its models. Formula 1 will spearhead the company’s related activities. Audi Sport GmbH has established a wholly-owned subsidiary, Audi Formula Racing GmbH, to enter the premier class of motorsports. From 2026, the brand with the four rings will compete in the FIA Formula 1 World Championship with a specially developed power unit. The power unit will be built at Audi Sport’s state-of-the-art Competence Center Motorsport in Neuburg an der Donau, not far from AUDI AG headquarters in Ingolstadt. The center, which opened in 2014, is considered one of the most sophisticated of its kind and is currently undergoing extensive expansion for the F1 debut. The move entails the first Formula 1 power unit to be built in Germany since 2009. The decisive factor is the International Automobile Federation’s (FIA) new regulations, which, among other things, will provide for sustainable synthetic fuels from 2026 and raise the electric share of hybrid drive units to almost 50 percent. Audi wants to actively shape the transformation of what is by far the most significant motorsport series. Launched in 2009, the brand’s customer racing program has won more than 500 overall and class championship titles worldwide. Nineteen overall victories at 24-hour races and many other successes in endurance motorsports round off this impressive legacy.

Audi is one of the first carmakers to have a charging park with a grid simulator that replicates the different power grids of other countries Technical Development is using the installation to test the charging of electric cars under simulated technical conditions of the various sales regions The findings of the field testing will be directly incorporated into research and development The grid simulation installation was developed by Bosch Rexroth in collaboration with partner Schmidbaur Whether with 110 or 230 volts or 50 or 60 hertz, at Audi in Ingolstadt, electric cars can now be charged as if they were in China, the United States, or in numerous other countries around the globe. At the new electric-charging test center at the Ingolstadt site, Technical Development is testing electric Audi models under the conditions that prevail in the various sales regions. The results are incorporated directly into the research and development of the vehicles. This means that customers always benefit from the best charging experience, no matter where they are in the world. Audi is one of the first automobile manufacturers to operate a flexibly adjustable grid simulator; the operation started at the beginning of the year in Ingolstadt. The simulator is the centerpiece of the Technical Development division’s electric-charging test center, which features charging stations from various manufacturers from several countries. The grid simulator makes it possible to operate charging stations from non-EU countries with the necessary voltage and grid configuration. This enables Audi to conduct field testing that replicates the conditions found in numerous sales regions worldwide. The power grid simulation installation was developed by Bosch Rexroth in collaboration with its partner company Schmidbaur. Major differences in global power grids Electricity may come out of the socket everywhere, but if we look at the various sockets, we are reminded that not all electricity is the same.

Responsibility for people and the environment: Audi brings its sustainability requirements to the supply chain How a company operates affects both people and the environment. Audi, therefore, centers its activities around sustainability. These include respecting human rights and adhering to environmental and social standards across the supply chain. Building an Audi is an involved, elaborate process based on complex supply chains that are as diverse as they are global. The company encounters different cultures, cultural standards, and legal requirements within these supply chains. These give rise to ecological and social risks related to carbon emissions, working conditions, occupational health and safety, and additional social aspects. “We view our complex supply chain as an opportunity to enact positive changes. A few examples are avoiding damage to the environment, ensuring the sustainable use of resources, and assuming social responsibility. To this end, Audi works closely with its suppliers,” says Dr. Renate Vachenauer, Audi Board Member for Procurement. Audi’s commitment to more responsible supply chain management has exceeded the legal requirements for years to impact the well-being of people and the environment positively. Moreover, regulations at various political levels have required corporate responsibility throughout the supply chain in recent years. For example, Germany’s Supply Chain Due Diligence Act regulates corporate responsibility for complying with human rights or environmental due diligence in global supply chains; the law was passed in 2023. Audi follows a human rights strategy to successfully implement the legally required environmental, human rights, and due diligence targets alongside those that Audi has set itself. Strong partner companies along the supply chain are crucial in this pursuit. Sustainable action in complex manufacturing processes is only possible when all partners work together as equals in pursuing the same goal.

Audi México has a biological wastewater treatment facility inside the plant, which treats both sewage and industrial wastewater. Up to 1,800 cubic meters of water from the plant's various streams is homogenized and then treated with bacteria. The biologically treated water then passes through an activated carbon and ultraviolet filtration process. The water meets all regulatory requirements. In 2018, the reverse osmosis plant was inaugurated, which contributes significantly to decarbonization and water conservation. This water treatment system is able to save around 150,000 cubic meters of water per year by returning it to the plant’s production processes. Since then, production at the Mexican plant has been entirely wastewater-free. Since 2020, the Audi México plant has covered all of its electricity needs for the production of the Audi Q5 from renewable energy sources. This has also helped Audi achieve its goal of net carbon-neutral production at all of its sites since 2025. In late 2023, Audi México became the first production plant in the automotive industry to be certified for its water management under the standards of the Alliance for Sustainable Water Stewardship (AWS). This contributes to Audi’s global goal of reducing water consumption per vehicle by 50% by 2035. Furthermore, together with the Municipal Government of Nopalucan and the commissioner of Santa Cruz del Bosque in Puebla, Audi México reforested 39 hectares of municipal land in Santa Cruz del Bosque, near where the factory is located. More than 42,000 trees were planted in the area. In accordance with AUDI AG’s Corporate Citizenship strategy, Audi México implemented its activities based on three main pillars: “Educate”, “Engage”, and “Empower”. The main objective is to develop the region through numerous activities and programs such as: Audi Social Day: Audi México participated in activities with more than 120 employees who reforested 10,000 m² of land.
