Audi Start RS Q3 & RS Q3 Sportback at Hungaria Plant

Audi Hungaria is starting production of the two most powerful Audi Q3 derivatives: The Audi RS Q3 and the RS Q3 Sportback. The two sport compacts offer outstanding performance, athletic design, and maximum everyday usability. The legendary five-cylinder engine from Gyor provides a special driving experience. The Audi RS Q3 and the Audi RS Q3 Sportback are synonymous with strength and outstanding performance. Virtues that are also reflected in the design. The Singleframe with no color-contrasting surround in the compact SUV creates an even sharper impression. The gloss black grill with three-dimensional honeycomb structure is inset deeper and directly into the RS bumper with its large side air inlets. The striking boomerang-shaped blades in the bumper are designed exclusively for the RS Q3. The RS genes are also apparent in the flat slits above the Singleframe radiator grille.

Mr Oliver Hoffmann, Managing Director of Audi Sport GmbH said that “The new version of the Audi RS Q3** with our award-winning five-cylinder engine is a highly emotional model. With the RS Q3 Sportback**, we are adding a completely new RS model to the product portfolio of Audi Sport GmbH.”

Mr Zoltán Les, manager in charge of vehicle manufacturing at Audi Hungaria said that “So far, we are producing 13 variants of five basic models in Gyor. This level of complexity requires our employees to be precise, flexible, and extremely competent. I’m very proud of our team that has once again implemented two further model start-ups successfully.”

VW wil kennis elektrisch rijden delen

Gepubliceerd op 4 okt 2019 om 09:32 | Views: 871

WOLFSBURG (AFN/BLOOMBERG) - Volkswagen kijkt of andere autobouwers willen samenwerken op het vlak van elektrische auto's om kosten te delen. De Duitse autogigant investeert miljarden euro's op dat vlak en hoopt zijn kennis door te kunnen verkopen.

Volkswagen probeert Tesla te onttronen als belangrijkste bouwer van luxere elektrische auto's en pompt daarom veel geld in zijn dochterondernemingen Audi en Porsche. Volgens het hoofd ontwikkeling bij Audi is er "zeker" interesse in samenwerking. "We voeren gesprekken. Het delen van technologie om schaalvoordelen te verkrijgen is de enige manier om een ommekeer te bewerkstelligen voor elektrisch rijden."

Er wordt gewerkt aan een platform voor Audi en Porsche dat in 2021 de basis moet vormen van nieuwe volledig elektrische auto's. Met welke partijen wordt gesproken over een samenwerking werd niet bekendgemaakt.

Volkswagen Wolfsburg Plant Gets Lean and Green Management Award

The Volkswagen Wolfsburg plant receives the Lean & Green Management Award 2019 in the Automotive OEM category for its efficient and sustainable production. More than 250 plants from more than ten countries and 20 different industries participated in this competition. In terms of production efficiency, Volkswagen's main plant focuses on its "PQM" strategy - productivity, quality and crew. Every year more than 400 workshops take place, where the Wolfsburg workforce improves processes and thus reduces the production costs per vehicle. The plant consistently uses the Volkswagen production system, which describes the basics, standards and methods by which the manufacturing processes are designed, executed and constantly further developed.

The Volkswagen main plant is also on course for sustainability and the implementation of the environmental program “Zero Impact Factory”. An important building block for protecting the environment and promoting biodiversity are, for example, the process water basins located on the plant site. Thanks to the internal operating water cycle, every drop of water passes through the system about four to six times, helping to keep water consumption per vehicle very low.

The "Lean & Green Management Award" is awarded annually with the consultants Growtth Consulting Europe and Quadriga Consult and the trade publication AUTOMOBIL INDUSTRIE. The award was recently ranked as one of the highest rated sustainability awards in Germany in a study by the University of Hohenheim.

Porsche Increases Production in Zuffenhausen

Porsche builds another 500 new jobs. The company increases production in Zuffenhausen for the first purely electrically powered sports car. This is Porsche's response to the great worldwide demand for the electric sports car, which celebrated its world premiere at the beginning of September. After the completion of a Depositor program, far more than 20,000 prospective buyers had signed up. Orders received to date also indicate strong demand. As part of the new introduction of the Taycan, the sports car manufacturer is creating a total of 2,000 new jobs at its headquarters in Stuttgart-Zuffenhausen.

Taycan's original production capacity was 20,000 units. This continues to be the requirement for the first year of production. By increasing its workforce by the end of the second quarter of 2020, Porsche is providing itself with the necessary flexibility to be able to produce more units if necessary.

Mr Andreas Haffner, Member of the Executive Board for Human Resources and Social Affairs at Porsche said that "With the Taycan, we are showing that e-mobility is by no means a job killer. Rather, we are underlining its future viability, especially in the sports car segment. In addition, more than 32,000 applications show how great the interest is in shaping the future of the sports car together with us."

New Volkswagen R Presents Sportiest Models

The performance brand Volkswagen R represents the sportiest models in the Volkswagen portfolio. Since 2002, the R models have been at home on race tracks throughout the world and, in addition to high performance engines, have offered their owners the combination of everyday usability and stylish understatement. Along with the Golf R in four generations, the portfolio includes the Passat R36, the Touareg R50, the Scirocco R and the Golf R Convertible. Aside from the Golf R1 and the Golf R Variant2, the new T-Roc R3 is also currently available.

Volkswagen R is introducing its realignment with the presentation of the new R logo. The new R logo symbolises the performance brand’s fresh start. It is more modern, distinct and sleek: Reduced to its essential components, it can be used for various purposes, remaining particularly suitable for digital media. The new logo was developed at the Volkswagen Design Center. The team surrounding Klaus Bischoff developed the new R logo together with Technical Development and the Volkswagen R Marketing team.

The new company logo is characterized by the pristine line width and a clearly horizontal arrangement featuring dynamic curves. Moreover, the prominent diagonal line serves as a stark contrast, thus underscoring the brand’s overall progressiveness. The elongated R creates a broader, more powerful impression and defines Volkswagen’s commitment to performance and exclusivity.

Mr Jost Capito, Managing Director, Volkswagen R, said that “Volkswagen R is all about excitement and thrill, and in the future, we will continue to focus our efforts on integrating these emotions into the Volkswagen brand. We are taking a strategic and operative approach to working on great products and creating a unique customer experience.”

Volkswagen AG

Volkswagen AG

(ABM FN-Dow Jones) Volkswagen heeft in september 10 procent meer auto’s verkocht dan een jaar eerder, toen de verkoop haperde omdat auto's met name in Duitsland eerst nieuwe emissietests moesten ondergaan. Dat bleek donderdag uit verkoopcijfers van gelijknamige Duitse autofabrikant.

Wereldwijd werden er in september 533.700 Volkswagens verkocht, wat 10 procent meer was dan een jaar eerder. Met name in Europa en Duitsland steeg de verkoop sterk, met respectievelijk 45 en 74 procent, ten opzichte van de zwakke septembermaand van 2018.

Daarnaast laat de verkoop in China en Zuid-Amerika nog steeds groei zien, wat tegen de trend in is. Hierdoor wint Volkswagen marktaandeel in een krimpende mondiale markt, stelde het bedrijf.

In Brazilië werden er 16 procent meer Volkswagens verkocht in september. Daarmee blijft het Zuid-Amerikaanse land de belangrijkste groeimotor van Volkswagen in die regio.

Over de eerste negen maanden van het jaar is het aantal verkochte Volkswagens nog altijd lager dan een jaar eerder met 4,51 miljoen stuks, een daling van 2,3 procent op jaarbasis.

Audi is Transforming into Electric Mobility

Audi is transforming into a provider of electric mobility a process that involves all areas of the company. After all, the brand with the four rings intends to put more than 30 electrified models on the market by 2025, which constitutes a 40 percent share in sales. In doing so, Audi is consistently pursuing the path of sustainable mobility. Accordingly, the areas of Procurement and Production are also aligning themselves more strongly with sustainability-related criteria. The skills and experiences from the development and production of the Audi e-tron will be incorporated into the upcoming projects for the all-electric models. The activities are flanked by comprehensive training and development concepts.

Audi is becoming a provider of integrated, carbon-neutral premium mobility with the goal of taking the leadership role in the competition. To this end, the manufacturer is accelerating its electrification road map and company-wide decarbonization. By 2025, the carbon footprint of the vehicle fleet across the entire life cycle is to be reduced by 30% as compared to 2015. In the future, the return on investment as the central financial control parameter will also show the CO2 performance of the four rings, with sustainable management helping to increase it to more than 21 percent.

Volkswagen ID.3 Communicates Using Light

The ID.3, the first model from the new all-electric ID. family stands for the future of the Volkswagen brand – with a large range, impressive driving dynamics, pioneering design and the innovative ID. Light concept. The intelligent light concept in the interior supports the driver visually and makes communication with the ID.3 more emotional. Not only does this car’s voice control obey your every word, the ID.3 also communicates visually with its occupants thanks to the completely new intelligent ID. Light concept. An LED strip that runs across the cockpit assists the driver by changing colour according to the current function. Once they have settled into the driver seat, ID. Light signals to the driver that the vehicle’s drive system is active and that the car has been unlocked or locked. It accentuates information issued by the driver assist and navigation systems and signals braking prompts and incoming phone calls. In conjunction with the navigation system, ID. Light reduces the stress of driving in traffic.

By blinking, it recommends changing lane and can also warn the driver if their ID.3 is in the wrong lane. ID. Light also supports voice control: it responds to the voices of vehicle occupants by sending a light signal. This indicates whether the voice control assistant is responding to the driver or the front passenger.

Volkswagen Passenger Cars Sales Update in September

In September, the Volkswagen brand delivered 533,700 vehicles to customers throughout the world, 10% more than the same month last year. Volkswagen is therefore winning market shares in a shrinking overall global market. The brand recorded the strongest growth in Europe (+45.4%) and especially in Germany (+73.9%). This was due to the marked fall in deliveries in September 2018, when vehicle availability was severely restricted as a result of the changeover to the new WLTP type approval procedure. In the USA and China, Volkswagen succeeded in maintaining or further expanding its market share in a generally shrinking overall market. The situation in South America was similar. Brazil remains the strongest motor for growth in deliveries in the region (+16.0%).

Deliveries in the regions and markets in September developed as follows:

In the month under review, Volkswagen delivered 132,300 vehicles to customers in Europe, corresponding to a rise of 45.4%. This was due to the special situation last year; as a result of the changeover to the WLTP type approval procedure in September, many customers had brought purchases forward to the first half of the year and deliveries in September 2018 were very poor as a result of availability bottlenecks. Volkswagen was well-prepared for the second stage of WLTP this year and there were therefore no negative effects. For this reason, Volkswagen grew more strongly than the overall European market, which only grew by 11.7% in the month under review, and was therefore able to increase its market shares.

In Western Europe, the brand recorded a rise of 50.7% in deliveries to 110,100 vehicles. In Germany, with 40,600 vehicles delivered, growth reached 73.9%. In Central and Eastern Europe, the Volkswagen brand handed 22,200 vehicles over to customers in the month under review, 23.7% more than in September 2018.

In September, developments in North America ran counter to this trend. In the region, Volkswagen delivered 43,300 vehicles,. 11.7% fewer than in September 2018 and developed almost in line with the overall market. The situation was similar in the USA, where the brand handed 26,900 vehicles over to customers, 11.8% fewer than in September 2018. There were two fewer sales days in the month than in 2018. The upcoming model replacement for the Passat also had an impact. The SUV segment continues to account for more than half of all vehicles delivered.

The situation for Volkswagen in South America remained gratifying. In the region, the brand recorded growth of 10.9%, with 42,900 vehicles delivered, in a shrinking overall market. In Brazil too, the upward trend of the brand continued. Volkswagen handed 33,600 vehicles over to customers, 16.0% more than in September 2018. In Argentina, Volkswagen succeeded in boosting its market share despite a fall in deliveries of 21.9% to 4,800 vehicles.

In the Asia-Pacific region, the Volkswagen brand grew in September 2019, in contrast to the shrinkage in the overall market. The Volkswagen brand handed over 300,700 vehicles to customers in the month under review, 2.2% more than in September 2018. In China, the overall market once again shrank. In contrast, Volkswagen delivered 287,000 vehicles, 3.3% more than in September 2018, and therefore once again expanded its market share.

However, total deliveries are 2.7% down on last year (January to September 2018: 939,100 vehicles). The reason for this is the continuing decline in the Chinese car market overall. In the other international markets, SKODA has delivered 719,300 vehicles this year to date, which means that deliveries in these regions are up 4.4% on last year. In September, the company recorded 102,000 deliveries to customers worldwide (+7.5%), and the demand for SKODA’s SUV models remains high.

In Western Europe, SKODA increased its deliveries by 6.8% to 397,300 vehicles in the first three quarters (January to September 2018: 371,900 vehicles). SKODA continued this trend in September, posting strong growth: 42,200 vehicles delivered represents an increase of 29.7% compared to the previous year (September 2018: 32,600 vehicles). SKODA recorded 146,300 deliveries in its second-largest single market, Germany, in the first nine months of the year (January to September 2018: 133,200 vehicles, +9.9%). In September, deliveries increased by 33.5% on the previous year to 14,800 vehicles (September 2018: 11,100 vehicles). In the first three quarters of the year, SKODA recorded double-digit growth in France (26,400 vehicles, +12.1%), Austria (22,100 vehicles, +12.0%), Switzerland (16,500 vehicles, +31.2%), the Netherlands (14,400 vehicles, +12.5%) and Denmark (12,100 vehicles, +19.5%).

In Central Europe, the manufacturer delivered 159,500 vehicles in the first nine months of the year, which keeps SKODA on the same level as last year (January to September 2018: 160,800 vehicles, -0.8%). In September, the automaker recorded 16,500 deliveries, +7.4% year-on-year (September 2018: 15,300 vehicles). In the brand’s home market, the Czech Republic, deliveries totalled 70,300 units in the first three quarters, a slight decline of 2.7% compared to last year (January to September 2018: 72,200 vehicles). In September, deliveries in the region rose to 7,400 deliveries, +8.8% on the previous year (September 2018: 6,800 vehicles). Compared to last year, SKODA increased its deliveries significantly in the first three quarters in Slovenia (5,900 vehicles, +5.4%) and Croatia (4,800 vehicles, +6.3%).

In Eastern Europe excluding Russia, SKODA delivered 37,200 vehicles between January and September, recording growth of 10.6% (same period last year: 33,600 vehicles). In September, deliveries in this region increased by 13.0% to 4,100 vehicles compared to the previous year (September 2018: 3,600 vehicles). In the first nine months of the year, the carmaker recorded double-digit growth rates in Serbia (5,900 vehicles, +16.5%), Ukraine (4,200 vehicles, +13.3%), Bulgaria (3,600 vehicles, +18.5%) and Kazakhstan (800 vehicles, +56.3%).

In Russia, SKODA delivered 61,500 vehicles in the first three quarters, an increase of 7.0% over the same period last year (2018: 57,500 vehicles). In September, deliveries in the region fell by 5.6% to 7,300 vehicles (September 2018: 7,800 vehicles).

Volkswagen Offers Cities Cooperation to Optimise Urban Mobility

The Volkswagen Group is showcasing answers for urban trends and challenges at the ITS World Congress in Singapore, the world’s largest event for intelligent transport systems. The presentations focus on the Group’s extensive product and service portfolio of solutions for the problems of urban mobility. The aim is to offer cities tailored collaboration to optimise intelligent mobility concepts and develop new growth markets, for example through e-mobility, micro mobility and electric buses together with new mobility services.

Volkswagen is specifically seeking to interact with cities at the ITS in Singapore (21 – 25 October 2019) to fine-tune its own intelligent mobility solutions to the needs of urban areas. The Volkswagen Group is a pioneer in e-mobility. Some 70 new electric cars are to be launched over the next ten years. Throughout the Group, Volkswagen is working on solutions for electric micro mobility to transport people – for example, with SEAT’s eXS KickScooter or Volkswagen’s Cityskater – thus taking electrification beyond the traditional automobile business. And the Cargo e-Bike from Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles offers a micro mobility solution for goods transport.

In the public transport sector, Scania and MAN will be offering municipalities electric buses such as MAN New Lion‘s City E and Scania’s Citywide LF electric bus from the end of 2020. The Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles range already features the e-Crafter, which will be joined from early 2020 by the ABT e-Caddy and the ABT e-Transporter once the ABT Sportsline goes electric.

Volkswagen & Siemens Launch Joint Electric Mobility Pilot Project in Rwanda

Volkswagen has launched a pilot project in partnership with Siemens to test the feasibility of electric mobility in an African country. The pilot project, which will form part of Volkswagen’s operations in Rwanda, was officially announced by Mr Thomas Schäfer, CEO of Volkswagen Group South Africa and responsible for the Sub-Sahara Africa Region, in the presence of the Prime Minister of the Republic of Rwanda Dr Edouard Ngirente. During the pilot phase, four e-Golfs and one charging station will be introduced in the capital of Rwanda, Kigali. Volkswagen has signed a joint development agreement with Siemens to provide the charging infrastructure for the electric cars. With the launch of the pilot project, Rwanda becomes the first African country to introduce a Volkswagen electric car. The pilot e-Golfs will be added into the Volkswagen Mobility Solutions Rwanda fleet to provide customized mobility service. The plan is to increase the number of the electric cars to 50 units and 15 charging stations, depending on the outcomes of the pilot project.

Mr Thomas Schäfer said that “The success of our innovative and pioneering mobility solutions business has shown us that Rwanda has the potential to leapfrog the internal combustion engines into electric cars. Rwanda has a young and progressive population that appreciates individual and modern mobility. Together with our development partner Siemens and with the support from the Government of Rwanda, Volkswagen wants to make the e-Golf pilot project in Rwanda a blueprint for electric mobility in Africa.”

Volkswagen Plans to Make Autonomous Driving Market-Ready

Volkswagen AG announced the foundation of Volkswagen Autonomy GmbH with headquarters in Munich and Wolfsburg. Another subsidary in Silicon Valley will follow in 2020. A further subsidiary is planned in China in 2021. As a centre of excellence for autonomous driving from Level 4, VWAT will serve to build up know-how within the Group and bring a self-driving system to market maturity. The company will be managed by Alexander Hitzinger, Senior Vice President for autonomous driving in the Volkswagen Group and Member of the Volkswagen Brand Board of Management responsible for Technical Development at Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles. VWCV in Hanover is the leading brand within the Group for Autonomous Driving, Mobility-as-a-Service and Transport-as-a-Service.

Mobility solutions for people and goods in urban areas will be the first application case for the SDS from Volkswagen Autonomy GmbH. In July, the Volkswagen Group announced closer cooperation in the field of autonomous driving with Ford which, subject to official approvals, includes a stake in ARGO AI, a company specialised in the software development for autonomous driving. ARGO AI and VWAT will work closely together on the realisation of the self-driving system (SDS). In the development of the SDS VWAT will put a strong focus on systems engineering and industrialisation. The aim is to establish an SDS as a standard module for all Group brands in future.

Mr Alexander Hitzinger said that "We want to establish Volkswagen Autonomy as a global technology company where we bundle expertise from the automotive and technology industries, combining the agility and creativity of a high-performance culture with process orientation and scalability. We will continue to use synergies across all Group brands to reduce the cost of self-driving vehicles, high-performance computers, and sensors. We plan to start commercialising autonomous driving at a large scale around the middle of the next decade."

Volkswagen Project to Optimizes Traffic Flow with Quantum Computers

Volkswagen is launching in Lisbon the world’s first pilot project for traffic optimization using a quantum computer. For this purpose, the Group is equipping MAN buses of the public transport provider Carris with a traffic management system developed in-house. This system uses a D-Wave quantum computer and calculates the fastest route for each of the nine participating buses individually and almost in real-time. This way, passengers’ travel times will be significantly reduced, even during peak traffic periods, and traffic flow will be improved. Volkswagen is testing its traffic optimization system during the WebSummit tech-nology conference in Lisbon from November 4 to 8, during the conference, buses will carry thousands of passengers through the city traffic in Lisbon.

Mr Martin Hofmann, Volkswagen Group CIO, said that “At Volkswagen, we want to further expand our expert knowledge in the field of quantum computing and to develop an in-depth understanding of the way this technology can be put to meaningful use within the company. Traffic optimization is one of the potential applications. Smart traffic management based on the performance capabilities of a quantum computer can provide effective support for cities and commuters.”

Mr Vern Brownell, CEO of D-Wave said that “Volkswagen’s use of quantum computing to tackle pervasive global problems like smart traffic management is an example of the real-world impact quantum applications will soon have on our cities, communities, and everyday lives. Since we built the first commercial quantum computer, D-Wave has been focused on designing systems that enable quantum application development and deliver business value. Volkswagen’s pilot project is among the first that we know of to make production use of a quantum computer, and their ongoing innovation brings us closer than ever to realizing true, practical quantum computing.”
