“In 2016, we continued to systematically pursue the goal of ‘Productivity, Stability and Innovation,’ and despite numerous challenges such as new vehicle and engine ramp‑ups, we had a successful year with a good production volume. I am delighted not only about great milestones, but also to have started series production of new models such as the Audi TT RS. Another highlight was the production of the 30‑millionth engine and the one‑millionth automobile,” stated Peter Kössler, Chief Executive of Audi Hungaria. “At Audi Hungaria, we have taken numerous new and innovative measures that will facilitate smart production in the future. The company’s future prospects are excellent, and I continue to count on the commitment and loyalty of our employees,” continued Kössler.
