2023: Combined Annual and Sustainability Report
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 charging power decreases as the charge status increases. Charging losses are included. New Audi Q in the midsize segment The new Audi Q6 e-tron offers customers added value in premium quality across numerous areas of technology. It sets standards in terms of performance, range, charging, driving dynamics and design. At the same time, it impresses with a holistic interior experience and many technical features in the areas of lighting technology, infotainment and digital services. All of this is possible thanks to the newly developed E³ and PPE architectures.

The turbocharged four-cylinder engines with an output of 150, 180 and 225 hp were followed in the TT quattro Sport by the 250 hp V6 engine and a fourcylinder engine with its power boosted to 240 hp. In 2005, when the second-generation successor model was already about to be launched, the power of the two “small” four-cylinder engines was increased to 163 and 190 hp. By mid-2006, over almost eight years of production 178,765 Audi TT Coupés had rolled off the production line. years 25 Audi Tradition 6 Anniversary Dates 2023 On 18 February 1993, as part of AUDI AG’s new strategic focus, the company established a fully owned subsidiary based in Győr, Hungary to outsource some of its production abroad for the first time in the company’s history. The factory, which initially only manufactured engines, started operating in October 1994. By 1996, the production capacity had doubled to 1,500 units a day; in 1998 Audi Hungaria joined forces with the factory in Ingolstadt to assemble the Audi TT. The decision was made in 2010 to expand the Győr factory into a site offering full automotive production. In 2021, 11,983 employees produced over 170,000 automobiles and more than 1.6 million diesel, petrol and electronic powertrains there. Foundation of Audi Hungaria Motor Kft.30 years Audi Tradition 7 Anniversary Dates 2023 In October 1988, AUDI AG unveiled the Audi V8, which represented the company’s first foray into the premium segment. The eight-cylinder Audi model was initially powered by a 184 kW (250 hp) 3.6 litre lightalloy engine and impressed with an array of innovative engineering features such as permanent all-wheel drive, four-valve technology and a four-speed, electronically controlled automatic gearbox. More than half a century earlier, the Auto Union brand Horch had previously offered a V8-cylinder engine. The decision was made at Horch in 1932 to develop a “small” V8 Horch that could be offered to discerning premium buyers.

Financial Report 2019
An electric vehicle is only as clean as the power used to build and charge it. In the production phase, the manufacturing of the cells in particular is a very energy-intensive affair. Audi therefore requires its battery cell suppliers to use green electricity for cell manufacturing. Equally, charging an electric vehicle with power that has not been generated carbon-neutrally will negatively impact its overall environmental footprint. For that reason, we are working on offering a green electricity supply for our customers. This is another building block that will help us to cut the life-cycle emissions of electric vehicles and promote emission-free mobility as part of an environmentally friendly ecosystem. Looking ahead, we see potential in fuel cell technology (FCEV) as a complementary solution to our battery electric vehicles. With that in mind, we have set up fuel cell research and development activities at the competence center in Neckarsulm. // SUSTAINABLE COMBUSTION ENGINES Until production of combustion engines comes to an end, we believe it is important to continue development work on these drive concepts in parallel with developing electric vehicles, to create a comprehensive range for sustainable mobility. One solution, for instance, involves gradually equipping our models with mild-hybrid technology based on a 48-volt primary electrical system. The 48-volt primary electrical system opens up new potential for cutting fuel consumption. Alongside innovative and sustainable drive technologies, there is scope for carbon-neutral synthetic fuels to improve our vehicles’ carbon footprint. These include Audi e-gas, for example. Our long-term goal as a company is net-zero carbon emissions by 2050. To achieve that, as well as working on our products and the entire value chain, we are supporting innovations and technologies that make it possible to capture atmospheric CO2.
