Description
Audi, a German car manufacturer, has announced the creation of 500 new jobs at its headquarters in Ingolstadt, Bavaria. Jobs are especially being created for employees working in production. The reason for the job creation is the start of production of the all-electric Q6 e-tron series in Ingolstadt. Audi has made the decision to move away from combustion engines and is gradually preparing all sites for the production of electric cars. The application process begins immediately.
The Audi Group is a manufacturer of cars and motorcycles in the premium and luxury segments. The Audi, Bentley, Lamborghini and Ducati brands are produced at 21 locations in 12 countries. Audi currently employs around 54,000 people in Germany, a good 40,000 of them in Ingolstadt.
