10.6.2020. Audi has a long tradition in aluminium usage: in 1994, Audi space frame, the Audi A8, which is a pioneer in the field of lightweight construction, made the first entry. Meanwhile, except for the aluminum luxury sedan the fourth generation of Audi’s innovative light metal material uses a mixture of many different components.
Aluminum is a very energy intensive production is used. Audi is the material, therefore, in a recycling cycle. This valuable Primary material savings, car use contributes to a better environmental balance starts with the fact that during the phase of.
Ingolstadt and Neckarsulm Model Series, Audi A3, A4, A5, A6, A7 and A8 for parts like pushing the plants use recycled aluminum parts Audi e-tron and e-tron Full. Gradually, more locations will follow.
The Philippine procurement strategy Marco bass “the efficient and economic use of resources, reducing CO2 emissions as it is important for us,” he says, “in the case of primary aluminium production secondary aluminium recycling is up to 95 percent lower energy.”
Audi’s “aluminium is already the loop” introduced in 2017 the Neckarsulm site is down. The excess aluminum plate in the pressing plant, go back directly to the supplier. This Audi uses in the production of aluminum plates with the same quality then again is recycled.
Audi Neckarsulm works now, this loop closed loop closed with two aluminium supplier and aluminium increased the amount of LED. This 2019, has resulted in a saving of 150 thousand tons of CO2. More than two-thirds compared to the previous year.
Recently, aluminum Ingolstadt Factory closed loop is introduced. Гр factory is planning to introduce next year, more runs, and gradually increase the number will follow. Currently, secondary aluminium and the Audi A3, A4, A5, A6, A7 and A8 as part of Audi e-tron and e-tron are integrated parts of the bodywork equipment.

The increases attributable to the CO2 emissions of electric mobility supply chain, the key to share. All here and upstream carbon dioxide emissions in the production process, almost a quarter-Audi produced based on projected fleet average by 2025, it is important. Audi the hand, therefore, cooperation with suppliers, production specifically at this early stage of intervention measures.
Already in 2018, the company jointly with suppliers, measures for more CO2-CO2 is there a program that discounts start to identify with in the supply chain.
Opportunities mostly closed Material cycles, secondary material, recycled material, use of Recyclates in plastic components, the use of Yesil, known as the use of electricity is increasing. The implementation of these measures, be it 2025, full and effective car, the amount of CO2 reduction potential of 1.2 tonnes per average.
