Audi Brussels produces its eight millionth car

Audi Brussels is celebrating a special milestone as the eight millionth car built in the Belgian factory has rolled off the production line since it was founded in 1949.

The car that crossed that threshold was an Audi e-tron, finished metallic Glacier White. The jubilee car will become part of the extensive historical car collection in the Audi tradition, after spending some time at its production site in Brussels, where it will serve as an attention-grabber for visitors.

Apart from electromobility, Brussels is also a trailblazer in the field of sustainability: In 2018, the multiple award-winning location was the first Audi factory and the first mass production site in the premium segment worldwide to establish carbon-neutral production.

The factory uses green electricity and is supplied by a large photovoltaic system to support it electricity demands, while the heat required for production also comes from renewable energy via coverage through biogas certificates. Emissions that are currently technically unavoidable meanwhile, are compensated through certified carbon-credit projects.
