In brief
Award for Audi’s “green train”
SUSTAINABILITY October 2012 saw the start of carbon-free
rail transportation for new cars between the Audi site in
Neckarsulm and the North Sea port of Emden. Audi’s trans -
port partner is DB Schenker Rail. In using the “green train”
Audi avoids emissions of 3,420 metric tons of carbon
dioxide per year. AUDI AG has already been using a carbon-
neutral train for trac to Emden since 2010. In recognition
of this achievement the Company was chosen as winner of
the “Logistics Sustainability Award 2012” by the German
and Austrian Logistics Associations. “AUDI AG has played
a pioneering role in automotive logistics through its use
of eco-electricity for freight trac from
Ingolstadt,” con-
cluded the jury. Audi was the first company
to use trains
running on eco-electricity. Overall, more
than 70 percent
of vehicles produced by Audi are forwarded
to their des-
tination by rail, 36 percent of which take trains using
renewable power.
