Audi to establish new high-voltage battery development site at Neckarsulm

Audi is establishing a new high-voltage battery development site at its Neckarsulm location.

With the new site, Neckarsulm will become a centre of competency for a key electromobility technology.

Since late 2020, Audi has continuously trained employees in the Neckarsulm Technical Development unit for the field of high-voltage energy storage system and more and more employees will be brought into this field in the coming years. To become specialists in this field, Audi employees in the Technical Development unit have access to various advanced training opportunities.

Audi's commitment to the Neckarsulm site is also reflected in several construction projects: New construction on a multi-function building for the Technical Development unit will be completed in late 2022 and the new paint shop by 2025.

A new building for assembly is already geared toward mixed production and future e-models at the site. The e-tron GT - the leading edge on Audi's path toward an electric future - will be manufactured in the Bollinger Hofe plant, while the plug-in hybrid and mild-hybrid variants of the A6, A7, and A8 models, the core series of the Audi site, are already being electrified today.
