to the Audi Factory near the German Town of narel many Audi models are produced here the production facilities at the naron plant include the Press shop steel and aluminium body shops paint shop and assembly lines other facilities include quality assurance technical development tooling training dealer training and the service Workshop the arrangement whereby customers have been able to collect their own vehicle from the nicar customer center goes back 15 years they A2 including a version which does 100 km on only 3 l of fuel as well as the A6 A6 Avant Oro Quattro A8 and long wheelbase A8 and the sports models Audi S6 S6 Avant Audi S8 and RS6 are built here the aluminium Center is a special technical development facility at nicc Carle as far back as 1994 the Audi group decided to concentrate its expertise in lightweight design at the aluminium center around 100 employees work on a cross disciplinary simultaneous engineering basis on new production techniques and methods as well as aluminium bodies and optimize products that are already in series production it strives in particular to optimize material properties components and processes for the large scale use of Audi space frame technology suppliers universities and institutes are also involved in the development process the first volume production model with an all aluminium body the Audi A2 was created at the alum minum Center this already represents the second generation of Audi space frame technology the Audi space frame is a high strength aluminium frame structure into which the large aluminium panels are integrated thus assuming a supporting function the body is around 40% lighter than an equivalent one made from steel and the car’s fuel consumption is thus lower Audi created the first four-door 3 l car in the guise of the Audi 82 1.2 TD i. Audi space frame technology has been further refined and optimized for the new Audi 8 Audi has already built over 200,000 cars with an all aluminium body including more than 100,000 of the Audi A8 lightweight design is moreover finding increasing use in other Audi models with aluminium components becoming ever more prevalent as an aspect of composite construction for instance in the front R6 there are 878 employees in technical development in N Carle 420 industrial workers and 458 employees on a collective Pace scale 278 of them are Engineers as well as the aluminium Center the principal activities of the ncar plant include development work on petrol and diesel engines Sports engines for motor racing and the development of interior equipment an entirely new pain shop was opened at narel in October 2000 following the completion of its third phase the pain shop represents the largest capital investment in the plant’s history at around Euro’s 300 million along with the growing product trange and the increasing proportion of aluminium bodied Vehicles the demands on the paint shop had continued to rise the third phase of the new paint shop permitted the introduction of segmentation there are separate operations for each model line the result was greater flexibility in the filler top code and patterns line the 7,000 squ met paint shop is likewise ideally equipped to adapt to Future Technologies including for the protection of the environment these footages come from the Audi Factory near the German city of swia the Volkswagen swia musel plant is an automobile Factory which was founded on 26 September 1990 in today’s swia District of Mosel and together with the chemnet plant and the transparent Factory belongs to Volkswagen Saxon based in zow Audi cars are built here currently the zow plant has about 8,000 employees signaling a milestone the last combustion vehicle was produced on 26 June 2020 the the Volkswagen BR is pushing ahead with its e-mobility offensive and is gradually creating the production capacity to build over 1.5 million EC cars per year worldwide from 2025 the group’s largest and most efficient EC car plant is currently being built in suab in future up to 300,000 e models per year will roll off the production line there Volkswagen is the world’s first volume manufacturer to convert an entire plant from the combustion engine to Electric Mobility in the final stage of expansion 60 models from three group Brands will be produced in sow from 2021 [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] production of the Audi Q4 itron has finally started in sow the fully electric compact model is the first electric SUV to be produced by Audi in Germany the KFOR Tron features a Volkswagen made modular electric Drive Matrix a highly versatile and variable platform that is suitable for numerous fully electric models and offers considerable scope for leveraging synergies working alongside their colleagues from Volkswagen more than 100 Audi employees prepared for the start of production from production planning and Technical development through to Quality Assurance the Press tools for producing the body parts all come from Audi’s own to making shop with its expressive design the Audi Q4 rron poses enormous challenges when it comes to precision and surface Perfection Audi tool makers from mull stat and the carel were involved right from the initial development stages the process of trying out depressed tools which weigh many tons also took place in Audi plants zow and the Audi brand enjoy a long tradition the Audi car plants were established here in 1909 the Volkswagen plant there has been converted to an all electric plant and is now an integral part of the group’s electric offensive in November 2020 more than 200 Audi employees mainly Junior employees who have successfully completed their vocational training were temporarily deployed to Volkswagen Saxony and sow for a 12- month stint as part of a human resources Hub they will be given the opportunity to boost their skills and expertise in the pioneering field of Electric Mobility the Audi Q4 Tron will be unveiled to a global audience in the middle of April and launched on the European markets in the summer of 2022 by 2025 Audi plans to launch more than 20 fully electric models and expand its offering the two main Audi plants in inol stad and a carom are also set to manufacture fully electric vehicles beginning in 2023 the first electric model based on the premium platform electric developed joint ly with Porsche will roll off the inle stat assembly line production of the Q4 rron will be carbon neutral from the start the zukow plant covers its entire energy needs using Renewables and has a highly efficient combined heat and power plant. Audi is also working to further minimize emissions in the value chain when the Audi Q4 rron reaches the end of its life cycle its battery is to be used in Second Life Concepts or recycled as a source of raw materials so now let’s look at the production of Audi etron GT step by step from start to finish the Audi rron GT is a battery electric Executive Car produced by Audi since late 2020 as part of the rron battery electric sub brand and the third fully electric car model after rron and rron sportback SUVs based on the J1 platform shared with the Porsche taking the car went on sale in March 2021 the audron GT is the first all electric car from Audi built in Germany it drives off the assembly line at the Audi Ballinger H in thearle the small series production facility there which has Net Zero carbon emissions has been expanded and converted for its new task small-scale craftsmanship has been supplemented by digital processes and intelligent Technologies passion meets Precision innovation and sustainability the production of the rron GT was designed without physical prototypes a novelty at Audi large areas of the passenger compartment of the all electric Grand Turismo are constructed from ultra high strength steel and the outer skin is made entirely of aluminum this material concept differs fundamentally from the Audi space frame of the R8 high performance sports car and its Motorsports derivatives which are almost entirely built by hand therefore a new body shop for the Audi rron GT was set up on the existing floor space it begins with an ultramodern body assembly line incorporating 34 robots that is approximately 85% automated almost like a conventional volume production line a total of nine warm and cold joining techniques are used ranging from resistance spot welding to screws all the way to rivets and bonding the two-way framer a large clamping and attachment system acts as a Central Station in the body assembly line during the first pass this is where the inner side panels are precisely positioned and joined the outer side panels are attached during the second pass the framer integrates 10 robots which use 32 high-tech tools to perform all joining techniques between the two passes and during the work steps they switch between tools automatically The Body Shop is the first station in the production cycle of the new Audi Eon this is where the unique design of the first fully electric AI model gets its shape as a wide variety of single metal parts are combined with modern materials such as aluminum and ultra high strength steel the production process in the body shop is very complex and highly sophisticated it involves the use of a multitude of joining Technologies such as welding soldering clinching or gluing in which continuous robotic inline geometry checks are performed in addition to constant manual quality checks the finished body of an Audi Tron counts more than 3.2 welding points 30 m of weld seams and 72 M of high performance industrial glue these and many other process steps take place in a highly automated production area including more than 430 robots and 410 conveyor belts all these processes are supported by an experienced team of 300 people that produced the Audi erron in two shifts these collaborators maintain the different installations Fit Body Parts together and guaranteed the requested quality standards of the car in the construction of the Bodywork as the first fully electric vehicle of Audi the Audi rron is most certainly an exciting challenge for the body shop team thanks to the experience gained in the former production of the Audi A1 and the creativity of our collaborators we are able to Master Of The Cutting Edge Technologies and automation Concepts that come with the Audi rron it is part of our philosophy to never stop questioning and keep on rethinking existing structures e the painting process is long and complex before any paint is applied the vehicle bother must first be cleaned and phosphatized this is necessary to ensure Flawless adhesion of the paint later in the process this layer the first of four protects against corrosion and guarantees durability this involves cathodic dip painting since 2016 we have been using a brand new Rod IP pre-treatment the process for coding delicate areas between the individual body parts with PVC is fully automatic this also protects the vehicle body from Stone chips and corrosion this is followed by the application of the second layer the surface which evens out any remaining blemishes next the base coat is sprayed on and it is this coat that gives the vehicle its color the modern application systems use special environmentally friendly Technologies to conserve resources ergonomically designed workstations alleviate the strain on employees finally the body receives the clear coat which protects against UV rays and the effects of the weather but is primarily intended to give the body its Shine the paintwork is then burned in at 140° in the dry Cod dryer ensuring the car has a long and lustrous life our paint shop employs around 230 people who work in two shifts and who are getting supported by 48 paint robots the paint shop department has implemented energy saving measures such as a waste air purification system and a heat pump these significantly reduce the quantity of resources use and helps decreasing the heat energy and water consumption per car by 20% TR two Audi Assembly Hall with its assembly line production is the backbone of the series production approximately 1.20 people work here 900 of which are related to the production and subdivided into two shifts in 32 teams a further 300 collaborator support the production the assembly line is about 1.50 M long and is able to accommodate around around 250 cars when the car enters the Assembly Hall it takes about 12.5 hours before it leaves the Assembly Hall once again and makes its way to the Quality department for a final check most of the work on the premises in the Assembly Hall is done manually partially digital a together with the Assembly of the electric SUV of Audi the Audi rron Audi team at Audi Brussels implemented essential elements of a modular production replacing the fixed assembly line principle by flexible workstations the challenge lies in developing flexible systems for various models which fulfill the highest standards in ergonomics this way Audi operators health is protected and their work is made as convenient and pleasant as possible I [Music] [Music] right [Music] in addition to the body shop paint shop and assembly plant Audi Brussels is also home to the modern Center of analysis and pre- Series this is where tasks related to technical development and production are centralized within one area of responsibility guaranteeing the high quality standards of the Audi rron at the moment Audi is here producing approximately 15 Audi rron per since the production volume of the Audi Eon is currently being increased step by step priority is given to safety and optimization matters linked to the series production this enables us to guarantee a coste efficient production from the early stage of development on fck for [Music] h at Audi philosophy is that customers should be able to experience quality with all of their senses this implies to all of Audi models worldwide quality assurance at Audi Brussels focuses above all on the general client experience this may concern very small matters such as the fittings between the different components they need to be in complete Harmony quality matters are very important to our clients this was the case 10 years ago and has only increased since at this Factory in Brussels Audi guarantee quality in all departments starting with the purchase of car components therefore a good relationship with the suppliers is important to develop new processes to improve quality in the long run procedures and product properties developed internally must be submitted to various tests this belongs to the responsibility of the pre-series quality assurance the smooth production process of Audi vehicles checked on a daily basis provides complimentary quality guarantees an auto car check involves a whole team of collaborators executing every single day a wide variety of quality tests on randomly chosen cars these cars must withstand all tests perfectly before they can resume their way through the factory only recently a brand new test center was set up at Audi Brussels in this Center each car is verified all over again before making a test ride and undergoing a visual inspection through the light tunnel noises such as the sound of the wind driving behavior and the quality of the paintwork are checked it’s only after having received a 100% test score that a car is released and confirmed ready for sale St [Music] [Music] [Music] [Applause] [Music] w oh [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] every day more than 540 suppliers provide the 14,000 parts and components required to build Audi car bodies 20 Goods wagons and eight just in time contractors transport cubic meters of material directly to Assembly Hall all of this requires extensive planning of logistics one key factor is infrastructure a state-of-the-art logistics and supplier Center known to audience as Automotive Park is directly connected to the Factory’s production halls with just a bridge separating them this also guarantees good internal Logistics within the plant itself meaning that each part arrives at the right place at the right time and every vehicle receives its individual equipment in addition the logistics Department organizes the transportation of the completed vehicles to the customers [Music] [Music] oh for yeah e [Music] okay [Music] Audi Brussels began production of the first fully electric SUV from the brand with the four rings in Fall 2018 series production of the Audi etron sportback began in early 2020 furthermore the plant in Brussels is the first volume production in the premium segment worldwide to be certified as emissions neutral by independent assessors current model series of location audron audron sportback the key action supporting climate neutral production a glance conversion to Green electricity and installation of a large photoal take system 107,000 M heat supply to the site using renewable energies covered by certificates for biog gas and compensation for currently unavoidable emissions by certified carbon credit projects these three pillars accompanied by other measures provide the blueprint for decarbonizing the other sites as well Audi has announced that it has rolled out the 8 million car from the assembly line at Audi Brussels which the company likes to call a factory of the future this production site was founded in 1949 the 8 millionth car to roll out from the Brussels plant is an Audi rron in metallic glacier white this Jubilee car will now become part of Audi’s extensive historical car collection in Brussels for instance in body construction they experience how people and robots work harmoniously together and provide perfect welding soldering and bonding in final assembly streaming guests can see how over 1, th000 parts are assembled on a belt that is more than a kilm long that is followed by a look at the mechanics where the powertrain and the battery come together lastly there is a final quality test when all the functions and GAP dimensions are checked again First Look of production Audi Brussels has saved its high voltage battery manufacturing facility the location showpiece and unique feature for the finale each battery seals electric functions and of course power are chucked all [Music] [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Music] w
