Production at the Ingolstadt Group headquarters showed an increase on the high prior-year
total, rising to 566,182 (531,200) vehicles in 2009. The higher production output is largely
attributable to the successful product launches of the Audi A5 Sportback and Audi Q5 models.
The launch of the Audi A4 allroad quattro likewise had a positive effect.
The Audi Group built 278,096 (327,296) cars at the Neckarsulm plant in the past fiscal year.
Activities there focused on the successful volume production starts of the A5 Cabriolet and
S5 Cabriolet, and of the new A8. Currently the most advanced press shop in Europe was also
commissioned there in the fall; it represents a vital step in the implementation of the model
initiative and brings further improvements in productivity.
A total of 32,603 (60,359) vehicles left the AUDI HUNGARIA MOTOR Kft. production line in
Győr (Hungary) in 2009.
