Győr, 11 January 2019 – Audi Hungaria closed out 2018 with solid production figures. Last year, our company celebrated its 25-year anniversary and hit major milestones, marking a new era for Audi Hungaria with the launch of the series production of Audi Q3, the first SUV produced at Győr, and the production of electric motors revving up. At the end of last year, Audi Hungaria had a 13,084-strong workforce, the highest number of employees in the history of our company.

“We successfully managed to overcome the many challenges we faced throughout last year and lay the groundwork for a stable future. With the knowledge and experience we accumulated over the last 25 years and the performance of our team, we are looking forward to the next 25 years with optimism”, said Achim Heinfling, Chairman of the Board of AUDI HUNGARIA Zrt. “We are counting on the work of our employees to continue writing the success story of Audi Hungaria together.”

The Four-Ring company produced 1,954,301 engines last year, including 1,099,385 three- and four-cylinder petrol engines and 343,651 four-cylinder diesel engines. Moreover, 300,720 six-cylinder petrol engines and 175,070 six-cylinder diesel engines were also manufactured at Audi Hungaria. As for the five-cylinder petrol engine, winner of the International Engine of the Year award for the ninth consecutive year, 10,045 units came off the production line. Furthermore 15,977 eight- and ten-cylinder engines and 9,453 electric motors were also produced by Audi Hungaria in Győr.

In addition to electric drives, the company is consistently working on improving internal combustion engines. This is proven by the fact that the engine production range was expanded last year to include three-cylinder petrol engines and a newly developed four-cylinder diesel engine with mild-hybrid technology.

In 2018, Audi Hungaria produced six different types of petrol engines and three different types of diesel engines, ranging from 63 kW (86 hp) to 470 kW (639 hp). 6,000 employees of the company produce 8,800 engines every day for 31 vehicle manufacturing sites of the Volkswagen Group.

In terms of vehicle manufacturing, exactly 100,000 Four-Ring cars rolled off the production line in 2018. Audi A3 Limousine was the model with the highest number of units produced with 62,654. Manufactured exclusively in Győr for 20 years now, Audi TT models include Coupé with 8,756 units produced and Roadster with 3,362 units produced last year. As for Audi A3 Cabriolet, 9,571 units rolled off the production line in 2018. The series production of Audi Q3 was launched in Győr in the summer, with 15,657 units produced from the first SUV to come out of Győr by the end of the year.

The models manufactured by Audi Hungaria are shipped to over 90 countries in the world. Four-Ring cars produced in Győr were the most popular in Germany, the UK, the USA and Canada in 2018.
