Audi tiene como objetivo completar la construcción de su nueva fábrica de vehículos eléctricos en China a finales de 2023, según ha explicado la compañía alemana en un comunicado.
After seven years of extensive soil remediation and construction, the time has come. The official opening of the incampus technology park was attended by Minister-President of Bavaria Markus Söder and Mayor of Ingolstadt Christian Scharpf. On the former refinery site, Audi and its partners will work on the future of mobility. Audi already has a new Vehicle Safety Center and an IT Center at the site, and the Volkswagen Group’s software company CARIAD also has its biggest tech hub there.
The new Audi Vehicle Safety Center on the incampus premises in Ingolstadt provides significantly improved and state-of-the-art crash test facilities. Around 100 million euros were invested in the facility. Among its features are a 250-meter (820 ft) run-up track, a mobile 100-ton crash block, and the ability to collide two vehicles at a 90-degree angle. As a premium brand, Audi is committed to meeting heightened requirements that go beyond current international standards.
Audi is preparing to switch all its factories for production of battery electric cars ahead of the final combustion-engined car coming off its assembly lines by 2033.
And it wants to halve its factory costs in the same timescale, allowing it to recoup some of the vast investment in EV development through reduced complexity and improved IT.
