AUDI AG chose the Hungarian city of Györ as its new production location in November 1992. The new engine plant was officially opened less than two years later. A workforce of around 4,900 was employed there at the start of 2001. Audi has access to a good supply of skilled workers and highly qualified graduates from the Institute of Technology. The Györ site is a duty-free area, permitting the flexible delivery and collection of production components and engines. Almost the entire range of Audi engines is now produced in Györ. Production of Audi TT models in Hungary commenced in April 1998. More than 145,000 of the Audi TT Coupé and Audi TT Roadster have left the assembly lines in Györ. Final assembly of the Audi A3 commenced there in April 2001. Environmental protection is likewise practiced in an exemplary manner in Györ. Modern recycling management avoids unnecessary waste. The parts for the engine assembly process are delivered in returnable containers. Wherever waste does occur, its progress right up to recycling is monitored. A closed cooling and lubricating circuit guarantees effluent-free production. Dust and oil are removed from the exhaust air from the machine rooms, and 40% of thermal energy is recovered.
