► 2015: New record year for the Four Rings
Audi can look back on an eventful and successful year 2015: Customers took delivery of 1.8 million new Audi models, setting a new record for unit sales. In Europe and China, Audi confirmed its position as the most successful premium brand; in the United States, the Four Rings grew twice as fast as the overall market. Worldwide, almost 88,000 people work for the Audi Group (87.990 as of September 30, 2016), a new employment record. At the site in Ingolstadt, the company has more than 44,000 employees (44,621 as September 30, 2016), and more than 16,000 employees at the site in Neckarsulm (16,610 as of March 31, 2015).
Investment in the future remains at a high level: In 2016, Audi is setting the course for future growth. Capital expenditure of more than €3 billion is planned for new models and future technologies in order to develop the strong position of the Audi brand. The automobile manufacturer is systematically following its course of expansion international and is further expanding its worldwide production network. “Made by Audi” is the principle: The Audi production system has high, uniform quality standards worldwide. There are meanwhile 14 production sites in twelve countries, including Brazil since 2015 and Mexico in the second half of the year 2016. In addition, there is the Lamborghini plant in Italy and three sites of Ducati for the production of motorcycles.
An extensive model rotation is about to take place at the international production sites-the Audi A1 will be produced in Martorell, Spain, and the Audi Q3 in Györ, Hungary. This reassignment of the plants stands for more efficiency and synergy in production; important key competencies will be brought together. The Audi production network is thus ready for the mobility of the future: Audi is continuing with the electrification of its model range and is utilizing the potential of the module system. In 2018, the first purely electric SUV will go into large-series production with a range of more than 500 kilometers, built by Audi Brussels in Belgium. The model initiative continues at high speed: More than 20 new or upgraded models will be launched in 2016. Audi is opening up a completely new market segment with the new Audi Q2 compact SUV, which will be produced in Ingolstadt. In the strategic areas for the future of digitization and electric mobility, Audi is recruiting 1,200 new experts and 800 apprentices in Germany alone.

Strong domestic sites are a precondition for international success-a clear commitment from Audi. Half of the planned investment will therefore flow into the German sites in Ingolstadt and Neckarsulm. Audi Ingolstadt is the Group’s biggest production site and the second-largest car plant in Europe with more than half a million automobiles produced in a year. This is a combination of four sites in one-the Ingolstadt plant, the Audi Neustadt test grounds, the Münchsmünster production facility and the high-tech area Audi Neuburg. In addition to the investment in the new models Audi A4/A4 Avant and Audi Q2, the plant in Ingolstadt will be continually further modernized, for example with a new paint shop, a new design center and an office complex for 2,500 employees. Audi set the course for the future of the site in 2015: Through a joint venture with the city of Ingolstadt, the company acquired the former site of the company Bayernoil in the east of the city. The 75-hectare (185-acre) industrial wasteland will be remediated and developed into a modern technology center. The IN-Campus is a key project for the future of Audi and the region, and is an answer to the future challenges facing the automotive industry. Audi Neckarsulm is one of the most complex automobile plants in Europe and one of the sites in the Volkswagen Group with the biggest product diversity. The plant has been expanded with an area in the Böllinger Höfe industrial park in Heilbronn: In addition to a logistics center, Audi has the factory of quattro GmbH, there, where the Audi R8 high-performance sports car is built.
► Events in the year 2015
New models
Debut in Detroit: The second generation of the Audi Q7 had its world premiere at the biggest automotive trade fair in the United States in January 2015. Up to 325 kilograms lighter and 26 percent more efficient than its predecessor, the successful SUV sets standards in its segment. Strong but economical TDI and TFSI engines provide power output of 200 to 245 kilowatts (272–333 horsepower). Just a few months after these versions, the range will be completed by a plug-in hybrid with the combination of a high-torque 3.0-liter TDI engine and an electric motor.
Also in the second generation, the Audi RS 3 Sportback will be launched in spring 2015. Forward momentum is again provided by a sonorous and powerful five-

cylinder inline engine and the quattro drive system. Now with 270 kW (367 hp), it is the most powerful of the compact premium sporty models. With such a sporty car, the power-to-weight ratio plays a decisive role – with the new Audi RS 3 Sportback, each horsepower has to move just 4.14 kilograms. Empty (without driver), the practical five-door compact car weighs just 1,520 kilograms, or 55 kilograms less than its predecessor.
Since the spring of 2015, the Audi TT Roadster of the third generation has been seen on the roads. The open two-seater demonstrates the brand’s technical expertise in the field of lightweight construction, with engines, with quattro permanent all-wheel drive and with the new Audi virtual cockpit. The Audi TT Roadster with the 2-liter TDI engine wears the “ultra” label; its fuel consumption is just 4.3 Liters per
100 kilometers (54.7 mpg US). With CO2 emissions of just 114 grams per kilometer (183.5 g/mile), the Audi TT Roadster sets a new best mark in the sports-car segment. The 2-liter TFSI engine is impressive with maximum output of 228 kilowatts (310 horsepower) and an emotive sound.
Audi had a highpoint at the Geneva Motor Show in early March 2015 – the world premiere of the brand’s sporty top model, the new Audi R8. The new generation of the mid-engine super sports car was available right from the start in multiple versions: with two V10 engines, which put up to 449 kW (610 hp) onto the road through quattro drive, as well as in the racing version Audi R8 LMS for customer sport in the GT3 class.
In June 2015, the brand with the Four Rings presented a new and now already the ninth generation of the bestsellers Audi A4 – for the first time in the history of the mid-range model series simultaneously as the Sedan and the Avant. Up to 120 kilograms lighter than the its predecessor, with best-in-class aerodynamics and powerful engines, the new Audi A4 is a groundbreaker. The strongest versions have one of two TDI six-cylinder engines delivering up to 200 kW (272 hp). A new generation of four-cylinder TFSI engines with newly developed combustion processes set standards for fuel consumption, emissions and performance. Driver-assistance systems and infotainment are at the level of the luxury class.

Motorsport
The Audi R18 e-tron quattro, the Audi RS 5 DTM and the new Audi R8 LMS were among the stars of an exciting and eventful motorsport season in 2015. The Audi Sport TT Cup also had a successful premiere.
In the DTM, the Audi RS 5 DTM was the car to beat in the 2015 season. In total, Audi won ten of the 18 races, won the manufacturers’ vice championship and places two, three and four in the drivers’ ranking. In the 24 Hours of Le Mans, Audi won its 17th consecutive podium place with the Audi R18 e-tron quattro (places three, four and seven). The race car had been further developed especially in the area of aerodynamics. In the FIA’s World Endurance Championship (WEC), Marcel Fässler, André Lotterer and Benoît Tréluyer gained two victories with the Audi R18 and podium places in all eight races. In the end, the three Audi drivers were just five points short of the title.
Audi Sport customer racing achieved perhaps the biggest triumph of the season: In the 24-hour race on the Nürburgring, Audi Sport Team WRT was the winner with the new Audi R8 LMS. The newly developed Audi GT3 race car made a strong impression also at the 24-hour race in Spa-Francorchamps and at the first FIA-GT world cup in Macau. And the premiere season of the new Audi Sport TT Cup was also successful: The brand cup gained enthusiastic fans in six DTM events and facilitated an entry into the Audi motorsport world for talented young drivers.
Sport involvement
From international soccer to the German Olympics Team to the Kiel Week regatta and the world’s most popular tournament series for amateur golfers, the Audi quattro Cup: With its diverse involvement, Audi is a reliable partner and a sponsor of national and international sport with wide-ranging involvement. For more than 30 years, AUDI AG has been the main sponsor of the German Skiing Association, including all of the German national teams, and of another 15 national alpine skiing teams from other countries. Audi is also the title sponsor of the Audi FIS Skiing World Cup and of the Audi FIS Ski Cross World Cup, a partner of the World Cup in the Nordic Combination, the Ski Jumping and Cross Country Skiing World Cup, and the presenting partner of the Alpine Skiing World Championship in

St. Moritz in 2017 and of the Four Hills Tournament. Audi is a partner of the German Olympic Sports Association and of the German Handicapped Transport Association.
Since 2002, Audi and Germany’s record champion soccer team FC Bayern Munich have been on the ball together. Internationally, Audi is involved with top teams such as Real Madrid, FC Barcelona and AC Milan. The Kiel Week – the world’s biggest sailing event – was part of the calendar last year, as was the Audi Summer Tour of FC Bayern to China and the Audi quattro Cup World Final in Mexico. Audi’s sporting involvement in 2015 was rounded off by support for German ice-hockey champion in 2014, ERC Ingolstadt, and for the Bundesliga soccer team, FC Ingolstadt 04, as well as support for regional sports events in Ingolstadt and Neckarsulm.

► The new Audi models in 2016
After the premiere of the new Audi A4 Sedan and A4 Avant models in 2015, Audi is further expanding the bestseller family in the most important market segment. The Audi A4 allroad quattro, which was presented at the Detroit Motor Show in January 2016, combines high levels of driving comfort with excellent off-road qualities, making it unique in its segment. Thanks to quattro all-wheel drive and the increased ground clearance, it continues driving where the road stops. The high- torque TFSI and TDI engines of the Audi A4 allroad quattro offer enhanced driving performance along with improved efficiency. The TFSI and the five TDI engines deliver maximum output of between 110 kW (150 hp) and 200 kW (272 hp), which is up to 20 kW (27 hp) more than with the previous model. The quattro permanent all-wheel drive is standard equipment with the second generation of the A4 allroad quattro.
Two new Audi SUVs are to be launched in 2016: The compact Audi Q2 debuted at the Geneva Motor Show. This completely new model will be produced at the main plant in Ingolstadt. The Q2 is the 13th model series at Audi and will provide a new entry into the world of SUVs. A few months later, the second-generation The new Audi Q5 drives off the assembly lines at the new Audi plant in San José Chiapa, Mexico since September 2016. Both models feature extremely efficient engines and modern infotainment, a high degree of versatility and the brand’s typical design.
A generation change is also coming up in the second half of the year 2016 for the Audi A5 coupe series – for both the two-door version and for the five-door Sportback. These models will reinterpret the successful concept of the first generation with a synthesis of classical coupe proportions and modern lines, exceptional driving dynamics and a high level of everyday practicality. Audi A5 customers will have access to the full range of driver-assistance systems and connectivity functions, which are currently also available for the Audi Q7, Audi R8 and Audi A4.

► Production
AUDI AG has one of the most flexible and efficient production systems in the automotive industry: The Audi Production System (APS) is based on the fundamental principles of cycle, flow, pull and perfection. Audi consistently applies these principles not only in production, but throughout the company. APS can only operate successfully if there is good cooperation of all areas of business along the process chain. In this way, Audi achieves short throughput times in production, low inventories and high productivity with increases of up to ten percent each year. The focus here is on the continuous improvement process – because without sustained improvements, the company’s long-term success would be at risk.
Increasing digitalization is resulting in completely new possibilities for automobile manufacturers. The vision is the smart factory – the intelligent, digitally connected factory. New high-tech solutions in production enhance the very high quality level even further, while easing work on the assembly lines and ensuring better ergonomics. The focus is on managing complexity, streamlining process chains, avoiding waste and reducing inventories.

► Employees
Audi not only delivered more cars than ever before last year, it also set a new record for the size of its workforce: As of December 31, 2015, the Audi Group employed a total of 84,435 people (2014: 79,483).
AUDI AG employed 59,506 (2014: 55,927), the Hungarian subsidiary Audi Hungaria Motor Kft. had 11,411 employees (2014: 11,274), AUDI BRUSSELS S.A./N.V. had 2,513 (2014: 2,528) and AUDI MÉXICO S.A. de C.V. had 2,505 (2014: 1,172).

At December 31, 2015, a total of 1,541 people worked at Ducati Motor Holding S.p.A., Bologna (Italy) and its fully consolidated subsidiaries (2014: 1,404).
60.5 percent of the total workforce of AUDI AG were skilled workers at the end of 2015 and 48.0 percent of employees outside the area of production were university graduates. The proportion of female employees was 14.8 percent.
In September 2015, 757 young people started their occupational training at AUDI AG. The total number of apprentices and trainees at the two German sites in Ingolstadt and Neckarsulm at the end of the year was approximately 2.500, spread over 21 different occupations. The proportion of women was about 30 percent.
AUDI AG has developed numerous measures to help its staff enjoy long and active careers. The focus here is on prevention. Ergonomic working conditions have therefore been established in both production and the offices. The health checkup available to all employees plays a major role in the workforce’s very good state of health.
AUDI AG helps its employees to maintain a harmonious balance between working life and family life. In addition to numerous different arrangements for working times and workplaces, Audi makes life easier for working parents with various child-care possibilities combined under the name of “Audi Play Space.” A total of 116 places were available for regular child care in Ingolstadt nurseries and kindergartens in 2015.

With the “Audi Summer Kids” program, employees at the Ingolstadt and Neckarsulm sites can take advantage of professional care for their children in the summer holidays. And together with local partners, Audi offers child care also for the February, Easter, Whitsuntide and October holidays. In 2015, the company for the second time organized child care in Ingolstadt also for the Day of Repentance and Prayer, when schools are closed in Bavaria: “My day at Audi” was fully booked within a few days. Altogether, approximately 700 children took part in the school holiday programs, about 100 more than in the previous year.
The system of flexible short-term child care for employees’ children in the cooperating facility miedelHaus in Ingolstadt is unique in the automotive industry. Employees can register their children between the ages of two and fourteen until the previous evening and benefit from the long opening times. This makes the facility useful to parents especially early in the mornings or the late afternoons, when they have to work different hours at short notice for some reason, and when their regular child-care center is closed.
The issue of further education has high priority at Audi. Imparting and transferring knowledge are more important than ever, as the complexity of requirements is constantly rising. The Audi Academy is available to the employees of the Audi Group in all matters of competence development and practice-oriented training and education. The spectrum subjects ranges from personnel development to personality and behavioral training, as well as courses for technical qualifications and language skills.
► Technical Development
The Technical Development division of AUDI AG has its headquarters in Ingolstadt. About 8,600 employees work in an area of approximately 33.5 hectares (83 acres) and approximately 1,700 more work in Neckarsulm. The Audi Group also has additional development centers in Győr, Beijing and San José Chiapa. True to the brand motto of “Vorsprung durch Technik,” Audi’s engineers and technicians are implementing a broad-based innovation initiative. Their tasks include the full spectrum of the product-creation process: from design and new vehicle concepts to the development of engines and transmissions and the electrification of powertrains

to electrical and electronic development and the development of car bodies and suspension. Interdepartmental work with the latest working tools and instruments facilitates innovative solutions for topics such as urbanization, digitization and sustainable premium mobility.
► Quality Assurance
Audi has a worldwide reputation for the best workmanship, superior quality and maximum reliability. The readers of “Auto Bild” magazine voted Audi as number one in nine of 13 vehicle classes in 2015. Premium quality is not just an abstract motto at Audi, it is a guiding principle of our corporate culture. It is firmly established in every department and is the goal of each Audi employee. As a neutral unit, Quality Assurance reports directly to the Chairman of the Board of Management. With its headquarters at the Ingolstadt plant, Quality Assurance coordinates and oversees matters of quality at every Audi plant in the world. It is involved in the entire product process – from development through automobile manufacturing to dealership support.
During the vehicle-development process, Quality Assurance takes over numerous monitoring and advisory functions as “the customer’s advocate.” It thus specifies product requirements at an early stage during the vehicle concept phase. In the development stage, QA and suppliers jointly approve all components. And in the material engineering labs, state-of-the-art analysis methods such as the raster electron microscope with up to 500,000-fold magnification are used to scrutinize and verify components. Whether natural leather, aluminum, laminated wood or stain- resistant materials for vehicle interiors, satisfying the highest expectations is always the goal.
Uncompromising quality in every detail is a must at Audi. A master jig is used to check the fit and finish of every component. This reference tool helps ensure that all components interface perfectly with one another – on the car body as well as in the interior. Audi specialists focus on many criteria: premium appearance thanks to precise radii and gaps, clear seams between panels, appealing surfaces, tactile impressions and the precision of moving parts.

Technical Development’s endurance testing is followed by the safeguarding run carried out by Quality Assurance. Under the most diverse real-world conditions and over millions of kilometers, endurance testing verifies that every single component will meet the requirements over the long term and will perform as desired in practice. Pre-series cars are exhaustively tested on public roads in various countries under all imaginable conditions – freezing cold, constant rain or chronic stop-and-go traffic. An Audi automobile can only be approved for series production after successfully passing through this procedure.
In parallel, a car lifetime of twelve years is simulated in 19 weeks in the corrosion and aging test in Ingolstadt: high humidity, heat and cold in climate chambers as well as gravel, mud and salt on the test tracks. After this rigorous test, the Audi models are completely dismantled and examined for corrosion, aging and wear.
In addition, Quality Assurance systematically monitors the manufacturing process with numerous advisory and monitoring functions. For example, cars which have passed through the production process are subjected to a rigorous final inspection at the so-called Checkpoint 8 before being shipped to dealerships. To ensure that the same standard of assessment is always applied, spot checks are conducted during vehicle audits and road testing. In the case of any deviations, appropriate feedback control systems immediately initiate countermeasures to ensure that every single Audi that leaves the assembly lines satisfies our expectations and those of our customers.
As soon as a car is with the customer, service technology specialists accompany the dealership and provide support with vehicle servicing. The knowledge gained flows back into the current series production as well as into the development of new Audi models. So Audi makes sure that the basic principle of continuous improvement is applied also in this context.
► Environmental protection
Balancing economics and ecology is a core aspect of Audi’s identity. Audi takes a transparent approach to environmental protection at the company and gets every employee involved in the related activities. This ensures that Audi systematically meets its environmental goals. The Audi Production System (APS) has been used

intensively for this purpose in recent years as a means of implementing the company’s environmental policy at all levels. AUDI AG makes important contributions to sustainable development and environmental protection also by participating in the fifth Bavarian Environmental Pact (2015-2020).
Along the way to sustainable mobility, it is important that the environmental balance of an automobile’s entire lifecycle is optimized even before the first kilometer is driven. AUDI AG is therefore working hard to improve the carbon footprints of its manufacturing sites. The company has set itself the target of reducing its specific
CO2 emissions by 25 percent by the year 2018 compared with emissions in 2010. Within the context of energy supply at Audi’s German sites, there are plans to reduce carbon-dioxide emissions by 40 percent per reference unit by 2020. Audi is pursuing a vision of completely CO2-neutral and waste-water-free manufacturing of all vehicles made in Ingolstadt. The other sites will gradually follow. In this context, the Audi Group’s corporate carbon footprint was certified in 2014 according to the globally valid standard ISO 14064. Audi is thus the first manufacturer in the premium segment with this certification. Based on detailed calculations, the Group’s total emissions of greenhouse gases are transparent along the entire value chain; this takes into consideration the emissions of the production plants including those of suppliers and services providers for all areas.
Environmental protection also means using natural resources sparingly. It is important for example to reduce noise emissions, waste water and energy consumption. Compared with figures from 2010, the entire Group has targeted a 25 percent reduction per reference unit by 2018 with regard to each of the following environmental factors: energy, fresh water, waste disposal and organic solvents (volatile organic compounds).
• Audi is using more and more green power at its production facilities. Since early 2012, for instance, the entire Ingolstadt plant has been running on electricity generated from renewable energy sources. Also since 2012, the plant in Brussels has been using eco-friendly hydroelectricity.
• Ecological construction makes sense: The customer building of Audi Neuburg has been awarded the DGNB certificate in platinum by the German Sustainable Council (DGNB).

• The modern paint shop at the plant in Győr helps to reduce energy consumption as well. As a result of dry separation using recirculated air, energy consumption has been reduced by up to 50 percent compared with the conventional wet-separation technique. Solvent emissions have actually been reduced by more than 70 percent.
• The new paint shops in Ingolstadt is fitted with this separation technology. The paint shop of Audi de Mexiko also works with this technology.
• Since the fall of 2015, the new geothermal plant near Győr (Hungary) has covered approximately 60 percent of Audi Hungaria’s heating requirements.
This allows CO2 emissions at that site to be reduced by a further 19,800 tons per annum.
• Audi uses “green trains” powered by renewable electricity to transport cars from Ingolstadt and Neckarsulm to the North Sea shipment port in Emden,
Germany. The reduction in CO2 emissions each year amounts to 8,305 tons at the Ingolstadt site and 4,197 tons at the Neckarsulm site.
• Since November 2015 at the Ingolstadt site, a modern plug-in-hybrid locomotive has been in use for switching work. Emissions are significantly lower than with a conventional locomotive.
• Photovoltaic systems are in operation at many sites of the Audi Group.
• Environmental protection at Audi does not end at the factory gate. The Eichenwald research project started back in 2008. In addition to the first test area near Ingolstadt, the project now covers various areas near the sites in Ingolstadt, Neckarsulm, Győr (Hungary), Brussels (Belgium), Sant’Agata Bolognese (Italy) and San José Chiapa (Mexico) with a total of 100,000 trees.
• In 2015, Lamborghini became the first company worldwide to be certified by
DNV GL(Det Norske Veritas Germanischer Lloyd) for CO2-neutral production in the program Carbon Neutrality. Automobili Lamborghini achieved this goal by
reducing and compensating for the CO2 emissions caused in its production in the year 2015. Key factors were the new trigeneration plant that went into
operation in 2015 (CO2 reduction of approximately 820 tons per annum) and

(also since 2015) the use of waste heat from a nearby biogas plant
(CO2 reduction of approximately 1,800 tons per annum).
AUDI AG’s commitment to environmental issues is also demonstrated by the Audi Environmental Foundation, which has an endowment of five million euros. The foundation’s aim is to protect the natural basis for the lives of people, animals and plants. (www.audi-stiftung-für-umwelt.de)
Examples:
• For the fifth time, the environmental foundation Audi Stiftung for Umwelt GmbH awarded the Sustainable Resource Management Award (SRM). With this annual prize, the foundation recognizes the best final dissertations of students on the course for sustainable resource management at the Technical University of Munich (TUM). (The prize in 2015 went to the Australian Samuel Gordon Munro.)
• In December 2014, the Audi Environment Foundation started another project for the protection of endangered species, with the aim of converting disused transformer substations into “beacons of biodiversity.” The pilot phase with three selected transformer substations in Baden-Württemberg, Bavaria and Thuringia has been successfully completed. Expert support was provided by the Association for the Protection of Species in Franken, a purely voluntary organization.
• The Audi Environment Foundation is also supporting the HOBOS bee project of the Julius Maximilian University of Würzburg under. HOBOS stands for HOneyBee Online Studies, and is the only online learning platform of its kind in the world. Interested parties can at any time view two beehives on video and scientifically observe the bees’ behavior. In the context of this partnership, a high-tech beehive, the so-called “smart HOBOS,” has been located on the site of Audi’s production facility in Münchsmünster since late April 2016.
