Striving for Excellence – Audi`s Impressive Production Facility<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Audi has made investments to transform Gy\u0151r into an electrification powerhouse. The production site spans 15,000 meters and is dedicated to crafting stators and transmission components with meticulous attention to detail.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In this facility, the assembly of axles for the PPE is also carried out, contributing to the production of electric drivetrains. The Gy\u0151r facility does not serve Audi but also supplies electric motors to Porsche.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Precise Production Process – Crafting Electric Motors with Accuracy<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

To manufacture motors for the PPE, Audi has introduced three production lines that highlight the brand’s dedication to precision and efficiency. The stator production line involves 28 work stages while the transmission components line consists of 15 steps. Assembling an axle requires 190 individual steps. Around 700 dedicated employees work in three shifts to produce up to 2,000 motors per day for the PPE, demonstrating Audi’s large-scale venture into electrification.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Global Environmental Responsibility – Audi`s Comprehensive Approach<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The electric motor production facility in Gy\u0151r plays a key role in supplying both Audi and Porsche, underscoring the significance of this Hungarian city within Audi’s global network. Audi’s dedication to sustainability extends beyond producing vehicles. Since 2020, Gy\u0151r`s production has achieved carbon neutrality by leveraging Europe’s roof-mounted photovoltaic system and being Hungary’s leading industrial consumer of geothermal energy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To ensure that the transportation of motors from Gy\u0151r to Ingolstadt has a carbon-neutral impact Audi has joined forces with DB Cargo, a transport and logistics company. This comprehensive approach aligns with Audi’s vision for the future of manufacturing as part of their 360factory initiative.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Celebrating a 30-year success story, Audi Hungaria marks a milestone as production<\/a> begins for the PPE. Established in 1993, it has evolved into the world’s powertrain plant, becoming Hungary’s first premium car manufacturer. Some notable achievements of Audi Hungaria include being the producer of the CUPRA Terramar and contributing to enhanced synergies in the production network.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
