18.7.2019. The electric-powered Audi e-tron GT is a car, manufactured yards from the end of 2020, with the super sport Audi R8 in the production of the Audi Sport GmbH in the Böllinger.
Currently, the structural requirements for the Integration of the E-sports to be created in the R8 production car: There are additional Logistics buildings, to the body shop and Assembly are built up areas state of the art facilities. The tag measures be carried out, for the most part in the current operation and will be completed in the autumn.
Until the fall of 2019 stations through two new lightweight halls for logistics, a total of approximately 10,000 m2 of additional space will be created in the Böllinger. The new halls limits on the West side directly to the existing mounting and the car body to.
“Since the Böllinger phase were farms already in the design as the small series production, with innovative and flexible production processes created, we have the best conditions, in order to manufacture in addition to the Audi R8 e-tron GT,” says head of production Wolfgang Schanz. “Here is a unique Combination of craftsmanship and “Smart Factory” is created.”
In the body of the Audi e-tron GT and the Audi R8 are produced separately. While the body of the R8 is characterized by a high degree of hand work, the e-tron GT own, highly automated body shop. In addition, it was moved to around 4,000 m2 for a complete intermediate level with conveyor technology.
The Assembly line is extended for the joint production of the R8 and e-tron GT to 20 cycles to a total of 36. Among other things, new production techniques are no longer integrated, since the Assembly of vehicles in the future, only on driver-less transportation (FTF), but also on an electro-MONORAIL system (EMS) is carried out.
In the future, so used the basement in the Böllinger höfe for the production: The painted bodywork of the R8 and e-tron GT in the basement stored. For the existing areas be extended to 800 m2. From there, driverless transport vehicles bring the R8 and e-tron GT-bodies using a lift, Autonomous from the basement directly to the Assembly line, on the ground floor.
In preparation for the tags at the end of last year, is moved to a part of the R8 car Body in a hall in the Heilbronn district of Böckingen, in order to create space for the body system of the e-tron GT. Since January, about 40 of the 150 employees produce the sizes of the sub-base for the super sports car R8.
