/ EXPANSION AND DEVELOPMENT OF THE
GROUP HEADQUARTERS IN INGOLSTADT
We are gradually expanding our product portfolio as part of our
growth strategy. At the end of 2013, we announced plans to
go into production with a new Q model – the Audi Q1 – which
will be built in Ingolstadt beginning in 2016.
With the new Münchsmünster production facility going into
operation in November 2013, AUDI AG has extended its pres-
ence at the Group headquarters in Ingolstadt. Body and suspen-
sion components are now manufactured using new, innovative
technologies at the Münchsmünster industrial park, which is
located around 30 kilometers east of the main plant. There are
around 800 Audi employees in the new production shop; some
250 of these jobs were newly created.
A large number of construction projects are also in progress in
the Technical Development division at the Ingolstadt site. Audi
celebrated the topping-out ceremony of the new Chassis Tech-
nical Center in 2013, for example. In the future, the five-story
building will house testing, workshop and lab facilities as well
as a development center for fuel tank systems. Around 550 new
office jobs will be created there. Completion is scheduled for
mid-2014.
There was also a topping-out ceremony for another hall at the
Logistics Center (GVZ) in Ingolstadt, which was increased in
size by around 35 hectares. The new two-story logistics hall
has a floor area of about 70,000 square meters. In the future,
it will process over 400,000 parts daily.
In Neuburg an der Donau, some 20 kilometers west of Ingol-
stadt, the new Audi driving experience center also celebrated
its topping-out ceremony in November of last year.
/ NECKARSULM SITE PREPARING FOR THE FUTURE
At the Neckarsulm site, Audi held the topping-out ceremony of
a new facility on the site of the Böllinger Höfe industrial park
in September 2013, after a construction phase lasting about
18 months. A logistics hall and new production facilities for
the Audi R8 are being erected on a 23-hectare site. The super-
car will begin rolling off the assembly line there in mid-2014.
