P L A N T T O U R After Budapest and Pest County, the Győr-Moson-Sopron region currently has the highest number of companies with foreign ownership. It enjoys a favorable geographical location, close to the point where Hungary, Slovakia and Austria meet. Another big advantage is the presence of local industries such as mechanical engineering, plastics processing and construction. Attendees of the AGMA International Business Conference will tour the Audi Plant Györ At the Hungarian plant in Győr, Audi Hungaria Motor Kft. develops and manufactures engines for AUDI AG and other companies of the Volkswagen Group. In partnership with the Ingolstadt plant it also assembles the Audi TT Coupé, the Audi TT Roadster, the Audi A3 Cabriolet and the Audi RS 3. The founding of Audi Hungaria Motor Kft. in 1993 marked the start of construction work on one of the world s most modern high-tech plants. The company has since developed into one of the country s major exporters and highest-revenue businesses. Last year, Audi Hungaria produced a total of 1,648,030 engines and 38,541 cars. The transport of components between Győr and Ingolstadt by rail is environmentally friendly. AUDI HUNGARIA MOTOR Kft. Kardàn út 1 H-9027 Györ Hungary
Technical Development state-of-the-art testing technology At the heart of the 5,000 m 2 Technical Centre is the state-of-the-art test rig building. A second construction phase in 2004 doubled both its testing capacity and the number of employees. The Engine Development Centre supports engine production with on-site development activities accompanying production. It works for both the engine production area at Audi Hungaria and the engine development operations of AUDI AG. Production technology and logistics Thanks to the process chain focus of production and logistics operations, the machined parts leave the line at the precise point at which they are required for assembling the engine. The shipping of materials and engines between Győr and Ingolstadt takes place mainly by rail. Seventeen train pairs a week run the route. The result is very rapid transit times and environmentally friendly, low-cost transport. Information on the Audi Györ Plant was taken from the Audi site at: http://www.audi.com/com/brand/en/company/production_plants/gyoer.html
