Thomas Sigi, Member of the Board of Management for Human Resources at AUDI AG, declared “We are aiming to achieve strong growth on an international scale and boost our lightweight construction and electric mobility areas of expertise in particular. That is why we will be hiring even more people and are planning to appoint a further 1,200 experts next year.”
"To maintain our profitable growth, we will step up investment spending on new products," said Axel Strotbek, Member of the Board of Management for Finance and Organization at AUDI AG. "The Audi Group plans to invest over € 2 billion annually in new products and technologies."
Besides, the carmaker will also continue to invest substantial amounts in its factories. Rupert Stadler, Audi’s CEO, has set a goal of making Audi the world’s top premium car maker by 2015.
