One will be designed for efficiency and range, while the other will mark the entry into the Q6 e-tron product line. Performance and efficiency in perfect combination However, the Audi Q6 e-tron has more to offer than just sporty performance – it also has the longest elec‑ tric range in the current Audi portfolio. The range of up to 625 kilometers (according to WLTP) of the Audi Q6 e-tron quattro¹ is primarily thanks to the high‑ performance, compact and highly efficient electric motors as well as a newly developed lithium‑ion battery consisting of 12 modules and 180 prismatic cells with a total gross capacity of 100 kWh (94.9 kWh net). Thanks to the sophisticated thermal man‑ agement, the 800‑volt technology and a maximum DC charging power of 270 kW³ as standard, short charging stops are possible with the Audi Q6 e-tron family. For instance, sufficient additional charging for up to 255 kilometers more range can be achieved in a mere 10 minutes at a suitable charging terminal (High Power Charging – HPC). The state of charge (SOC) increases from 10 to 80 percent in around 21 minutes. Advanced recuperation is an important factor in increasing efficiency and therefore range. Around 95 percent of all everyday braking processes can be carried out using this. The Audi Q6 e-tron¹ recuperates at a rate of up to 220 kW in the process. ¹ Audi Q6 e-tron quattro: electric power consumption in kWh/100 km (combined): 19.6–17.0; CO₂ emissions in g/km (combined): 0; CO₂ class: A. ² Audi SQ6 e-tron: electric power consumption in kWh/100 km (com‑ bined): 18.4–17.5 (WLTP); CO₂ emissions in g/km (combined): 0; CO₂ class: A. ³ Battery charging time and power can vary depending on various factors such as ambient and battery temperature, use of other country-specific plugs, use of the preconditioning function (e.g., remote‑controlled air conditioning of the vehicle), power availability at the charging terminal, charge status and age of the battery.

The slightly unusual addition of 3=6 to the name was intended to demonstrate that a three-cylinder two-stroke engine delivers the same performance as a six-cylinder four-stroke engine because it boasts twice the number of power strokes. 70 years Audi Tradition 28 Anniversary Dates 2023 At the 2nd International Bicycle and Motorcycle Show in October 1953, NSU unveiled the successor to the successful NSU Quick. The 50 cc NSU Quickly, which did not require a licence to ride, produced 1.4 hp, which was good for a top speed of 40 km/h. The light two-speed moped, which was prescribed to have tread pedals, weighed just 33 kilograms and fully satisfied the regulations that had been passed in January 1953 for this new type of vehicle. The motor-assisted bicycle was legally defined as a vehicle with a cubic capacity of 50 cc with a maximum mass of 30 kg (+ 10% tolerance); the pedal crank dimensions and minimum wheel diameter were stipulated. The catchy NSU advertising with slogans such as “Stop walking, buy Quickly” enticed even the most committed pedestrian to try this motorised bicycle. The NSU Quickly-N, the basic model without any rear wheel suspension, on its own attracted 540,000 buyers over nine years of production. NSU Quickly 70 years Audi Tradition 29 Anniversary Dates 2023 On 29 June 1932, Auto Union AG based in Chemnitz was founded as an amalgamation of Zschopauer Motorenwerke J.S. Rasmussen AG (DKW), Audiwerke AG (Zwickau), Horchwerke AG (Zwickau) and the Automotive Division of Wanderer-Werke AG (Chemnitz- Schönau/Siegmar). The absorbing company was Zschopauer Motorenwerke AG. Shortly before the end of the war and the Russian occupation of the industrial area of Saxony, the previous Board of Auto Union AG (Richard Bruhn, William Werner, Carl Hahn) in Chemnitz departed on 7 May 1945.

The hedging transactions are performed centrally for the Audi Group by Volkswagen AG on the basis of an agency agreement. The Audi Group additionally concludes hedging transactions of its own to a limited extent, where this helps to simplify current operations. The hedging transactions are effected by means of marketable derivative financial instruments (forward exchange contracts and forward exchange options). Contracts are concluded exclusively with first-rate national and international banks whose creditworthiness is regularly examined by leading rating agencies and by Central Risk Management at Volkswagen AG. For the purpose of managing currency risks, exchange rate hedging in the 2019 fiscal year primarily focused on the U.S. dollar, the British pound, and the Chinese renminbi. Currency risks pursuant to IFRS 7 arise as a result of financial instruments that are of a monetary nature and that are denominated in a currency other than the functional currency. Exchange rate differences from the translation of financial statements into the Group currency (translation risk) are disregarded. Within the Audi Group, the principal non-derivative financial instruments (cash, receivables, securities held and debt instruments held, interest-bearing liabilities, interest-free liabilities) are either denominated directly in the functional currency or substantially transferred to the functional currency through the use of derivatives. Above all, the generally short maturity of the instruments also means that potential exchange rate movements have only a very minor impact on profit or equity. Currency risks are measured using sensitivity analyses, during which the impact on profit after tax and equity of hypothetical changes to relevant risk variables is assessed. All non-functional currencies in which the Audi Group employs financial instruments are fundamentally treated as relevant risk variables.

According to Porter, the value chain represents a collection of activities that are performed to design, produce, market, deliver and support a product. Moreover, it reveals the path a product or a service will follow throughout the transformation process. In the process, various tasks for rendering service are described, from development, procurement and production to sales and after-sales services. In practice, the value chain serves as a means of analyzing corporate activities and represents a complex methodological instrument. The scientific history of the value chain The value chain depicts production levels as an organized sequence of activities, which in turn create value, use resources and are linked to each other through processes.
