Driving innovations together

Investing in promising companies is part of the transformation at Audi. A4nXT GmbH does not limit its selection of start-ups to firmly defined fields of development. Instead, all companies that have proven themselves as innovation drivers and can contribute to implementing the corporate strategy "Vorsprung 2030" can be considered. The goals and fields of action anchored there are, for example, about stronger differentiation from the competition in electromobility, but also about the effective use of resources and an optimized customer experience.

 

The results of A4nXT GmbH and its holdings can already be seen and experienced in Audi's products. For example, virtual reality technologies from holoride will soon be integrated into various Audi vehicle models with the latest upgrade of the modular infotainment system (MIB 3).The XL2 joint venture with Capgemini

and the Audi spin-off Aerofoils are also part of the A4nXT product portfolio.

    * The stated consumption and emissions values were determined in accordance with the legally stipulated measurement procedure. The WLTP test cycle completely replaced the NEDC test cycle with effect from 1 January 2022. As a result, no NEDC values are available for vehicles with a type approval issued after this date.

    The values do not refer to an individual vehicle and are not part of the offer; instead, they are solely for the purpose of comparing between different types of vehicles. Optional equipment and accessories (attachments, tyre formats etc.) may alter relevant vehicle parameters such as the weight, rolling resistance and aerodynamics and, alongside weather and traffic conditions and individual driving behaviour, may influence the fuel consumption, electricity consumption, CO2 emissions and performance values of a vehicle.

    Due to the more realistic test conditions, fuel consumption and CO2 emissions values will in many cases be higher in accordance with the WLTP than in accordance with the NEDC. There may have been corresponding changes to vehicle taxation since 1 September 2018 as a result of this. You can find further information on the differences between the WLTP and the NEDC at http://www.audi.co.uk/wltp.

     

    Further information on the official fuel consumption and the official, specific CO2 emissions of new passenger car models can be found in the “Guide on the fuel economy, CO2 emissions and power consumption of all new passenger car models”, available free of charge from all sales outlets and from DAT Deutsche Automobil Treuhand GmbH, Hellmuth-Hirth-Str. 1, 73760 Ostfildern, Germany or at www.dat.de.
