Скачать или смотреть Audi Brussels Factory - Eight Millionth Car Produced

Ceremony in Belgium: The eight millionth car comes off the assembly line at Audi Brussels. Markus Duesmann, CEO of AUDI AG appeared enthusiastic on his visit to Brussels, a site that was designated a “Factory of the Future” only in the last year. Since fall of 2018, Audi Brussels has produced the first fully electric SUV for the brand with the four rings, namely the Audi e-tron, and in early 2020, it began mass production of the Audi e-tron Sportback.

Audi Brussels is celebrating a special milestone: eight million cars have been built in the Belgian factory since it was founded in 1949. The car that crossed that threshold is an Audi e-tron in metallic Glacier White. The jubilee car will become part of the extensive historical car collection in the Audi tradition. At first, however, this historically significant Audi e-tron will remain for a while at its production site in Brussels, where it is an attention-grabber for visitors.

Alexander De Croo, Prime Minister of Belgium, Belgium's Deputy Prime Minister and the Minister of Mobility, Georges Gilkinet, as well as Audi’s executive board were on site for the celebration and visited the factory.

“Trailblazer and model for electromobility”
Markus Duesmann, Chairman of the Board of Directors of AUDI AG, looked toward the future and emphasized the site’s role as a “key factory for electromobility in the Audi Group.“ With the Audi e-tron, not only did production of the brand’s first fully electric SUV start here, but the battery assembly is also groundbreaking for the Group – also thanks to innovative solutions like the high-voltage battery analysis software BattMAN (Battery Monitoring Analysis Necessity), which has since been used by several brands in the Volkswagen Group. “The consistent shift in our portfolio toward electromobility is the greatest challenge in the company’s history. In electromobility, Brussels is a trailblazer and a model. In the transformation of other locations, we are benefiting from the experiences gained here in Brussels,” said Duesmann.
