Serious questions have arisen regarding the future of Audi in Győr after the Volkswagen Group's decision on September 3.
The Volkswagen Group's strategic decisions and planned reorganizations at the beginning of September do not affect Audi Hungaria, so no changes are expected in the operation and capacity utilization of the Győr plant. While the parent company imposed strict cost reductions and efficiency increases on a global level in order to improve competitiveness, the situation of the domestic subsidiary remained stable.
