    Audi MediaInfo Audi Communications Richard Tigges Phone: +49 841 89-37500 email: [email protected] www.audi-mediacenter.com Audi grieves for Ferdinand Piëch ● Prof. Dr. Ferdinand Piëch was with Audi for more than twenty years, most recently from 1988 to 1992 as Chairman of the Executive Board ● Audi CEO Bram Schot: „He united ingenuity with passion and perseverance". ● Chairman of the General Works Council Peter Mosch: „He combined the technically possible and economically sensible with social responsibility". Ingolstadt/Neckarsulm, 27. August 2019 – The Board of Management of AUDI AG expresses its sincere condolences to the family of Prof. Dr. Ferdinand Piëch on behalf of all employees. In commemoration in all plants worldwide the flag is set to half-mast. Piëch was a member of the brand with the Four Rings for more than twenty years, most recently as Chairman of the Board of Management for almost five years from 1988 to the end of 1992. The Chairman of the Board of Management of AUDI AG, Bram Schot: „One of Ferdinand Piëch's greatest strengths was that he really burned for the brand Audi. This latin word means ,listen’ – and he always listened well to both customers and staff. He lived the dream of automobility all his life and was the engine of innovation. He developed Audi into a premium brand and created a technological lead with groundbreaking developments.
