Employees of the former AG made a new start in Ingolstadt. Many came from the eastern regions of – from , and . Like a phoenix rising from the ashes, an extraordinary manufacturer developed over the following decades.

Hot off the line: a DKW Junior in front of the “new plant” in Ingolstadt (today’s site), 1960.

Auto Union GmbH was founded in 1949, and Ingolstadt has been steam-driven vehicles – called “Dampfkraftwagen” in German, the home of the four rings ever since. AUDI AG is the region’s which was the origin of the abbreviation DKW. After producing largest employer. The company currently employs around 44,000 motors for toys and auxiliary motors for , the company people in Ingolstadt alone. The trademark – four interlocking rings began . The first DKW car was built – was created in 1932 when the Audi, DKW, and in 1928. joined to create Auto Union AG, with headquarters in Chemnitz. The roots of Wanderer reach back to 1885. On February 15, 1885, Johann Baptist Winklhofer and Richard Adolf Jaenicke founded The history of DKW can be traced back to 1904, when Danish the firm “Chemnitzer Velociped-Depot Winklhofer & Jaenicke” in industrialist Jørgen Skafte Rasmussen founded a company in Chemnitz, which sold and repaired bicycles. The first Wanderer Chemnitz that manufactured and sold steam boiler fittings. was built in 1902. The company founders presented Production was relocated to Zschopau in 1907; the company the first prototype car – the “Wanderermobil” – back in 1905. was renamed to “Zschopauer Maschinenfabrik J. S. Rasmussen” Volume car production began in 1913. in 1912. Between 1916 and 1919 the firm experimented with The history of the automobile with the four rings is closely linked with the name . This businessman opened his Site of the Auto Union GmbH plant at Ingolstadt’s Esplanade: first workshop in back in 1899. In 1904, he founded the a DKW Schnelllaster van transporting a DKW RT 200 H motorcycle, 1952. “August Horch Motorwagenwerke AG” in the city of Zwickau in . Five years later a dispute arose between the founder and the supervisory board. August Horch left the company and on July 16, 1909, launched a new firm under the name August Horch Automobilwerke GmbH, which was changed to Audi Automobil- Werke m.b.H on April 10 of the following year. Audi is the Latin translation of the German word Horch, which means “listen!”.

10 11 Vorsprung durch Technik – Technical Development

The Technical Development (TE) division of AUDI AG has its headquarters in Ingolstadt. In keeping with the brand claim “Vorsprung durch Technik”, around 9,000 employees work here on innovations for the cars of tomorrow. Pioneering lighting technology from Ingolstadt: The tasks of Technical Development include an HD Matrix LED headlight with laser light from the . everything from the development of new bodies, transmissions, , suspensions or vehicle concepts to design and electrical and Lighting the way: The Light Assistance Center is housed in the electronics development. basement of the SE Forum and is a very large light testing tun- nel which cars can drive into.

The new Tank Techni- test laboratory and testing equipment as well as an innovative cal Center reproduces test courses worldwide in the laboratory. IT center. Work on fuel, natural-gas and SCR systems is also conducted. The building includes facilities such as a laboratory for the HiL Digital design workshop: The light-filled, transparent new Design Center is (hardware-in-the-loop) test benches for suspension electronics, 107 meters (351.0 ft) long, 71 meters (232.9 ft) wide and around 21 meters motion test beds with environmental simulation, and climate, (68.9 ft) high. cold and acoustic chambers.

New Design Center: Audi has developed a new, innovative design process that combines the advantages of cutting-edge 3D visualization with the strengths of traditional handcraft- ed modeling – a digital design workshop has been set up at the Ingolstadt site. On an area covering 37,180 square meters (400,202.2 sq ft), around 600 employees are engaged in the areas of design, class-A surfacing and advance engineering.

12 13 Weatherproof: At the Engine Center, emissions and fuel con- sumption measurements are carried out on chassis dynamome- ters under various climatic conditions. Driving performance with all-wheel drive at altitudes up to 4,200 meters (13,779.5 ft) is tested in a simulation chamber. In the adjacent workshops and modern test beds, units are set up and tested. Established in 2010, the Development and Test Center for Elec- trified Drive Systems features cutting-edge test beds for testing electrified drive concepts.

Smart production from the outset: The Audi Pre-Series Center (VSC) groups the tasks of Technical Development and Produc- tion together in a single area of responsibility. This paves the way for economic production of the cars from the early develop- ment phase. Fully self-driving Audi of the future: the four-door design vision Audi Aicon – with no steering wheel or pedals.

Windproof: The Ingolstadt plant has its own Wind Tunnel Center, where three test facilities are available: the aeroacoustic wind tunnel, the thermal wind tunnel and a climatic wind tun- nel. Optimal aerodynamics are honed at wind speeds up to 300 kilometers per hour (186.4 mph). The interior climate control and thermal management of the cars are developed here and the engineers are always working on reducing wind noise.

“Get in” a virtual Audi: In the Design Check department, vehi- cle models can be viewed realistically and with accurate details before they are ever built. The virtual reality studios make this possible. The various materials appear tangible and life-like, giving the impression of a car the observer can get into.

A production facility is located in Münchsmünster while Neuburg is the home of a high-tech complex with driving course and Motorsport Competence Center.

Audi Neuburg: The 47-hectare site is located approximately 18 kilometers (11.2 mi) west of Ingolstadt. The Audi Ingolstadt site has been growing for many years, mak- ing expansion in the region necessary. Münchsmünster is home to module and system assembly operations, thanks to its good Audi Neuburg is a high-tech complex that opened in Neuburg transport links to Ingolstadt.

The German Association for Sustainable Building (Deutsche Gesellschaft für Nachhal- tiges Bauen, DGNB) has awarded the customer building of Audi Neuburg the platinum DGNB certificate for ecological construc- tion (published by DGNB, November 2015). Audi manufacturing in Münchsmünster: The 54-hectare site is located approximately 30 kilometers (18.6 mi) east of Ingolstadt. Neuburg is also home to the Motorsport Competence Center. Since the end of 2014, the Audi Sport motorsport team has coordinated all its racing activities worldwide in the DTM, For- mula E and World Rallycross Championship from its base in Neuburg. Under Audi Head of Motorsport Dieter Gass, the engi- neers here develop and design the racing cars for the brand’s works cars. Initial roll-out trials are also run on the courses in Neuburg. The race engines are built at the Audi Neckarsulm site.

Audi Sport customer racing – the racing program for custom- ers of Audi Sport GmbH – has been supporting activities in this fast-growing sector from Neuburg since spring 2015. This includes GT3 racing, the TCR touring car racing category and the LMS GT4.
