AUDI HUNGARIA MOTOR Kft. in Györ is one of the most important suppliers of engines for Audi and the Volkswagen Group. The Hungarian subsidiary produces four-cylinder, V6 and V8 engines and, in cooperation with the Ingolstadt plant, assembles the TT Coupé and the TT Roadster.
The company was founded in Hungary in February 1993, after production locations had been compared all over Europe. Within a few months, a site location comprising 250,000 square metres had been acquired and building commenced on the production halls covering an area of 100,000 square metres in total. The plant site has been extended to almost 1,660,000 square metres to date. With a workforce of 5,022 employees in the meantime, the plant has been Hungary's biggest exporter and one of the country's highest-revenue companies for years.
According to the annual production figure for 2005, a total of approximately 1.69 million engines were built at the engine production facility in Györ. The production total was made up of 1.4 million four-cylinder engines, 243,322 six-cylinder engines and 37,630 eight-cylinder engines. As vehicle production figures for the year 2005 show, a total of 8,368 of the TT Coupé and 3,939 of the TT Roadster were built. The location is being continuously expanded and a new factory unit – the toolmaking shop, in which a total of 40 million euros were invested – was just officially opened in 2005.
