Audi Added 12 Shifts at Neckarsulm as Orders for A6, A7s Rise

Audi AG, the premium brand and largest earnings contributor of Volkswagen AG, added 12 extra shifts in the first quarter at its plant in Neckarsulm, Germany, and is planning more in April due to strong demand for the A6 and A7 models.

Audi has produced around 2,600 cars more in Neckarsulm than initially planned in quarter, personnel director Thomas Sigi said during a staff meeting today, according to an e-mailed statement. Neckarsulm is Audi’s second-largest plant after its main factory in Ingolstadt.
