Looking for a way to ‘virtually’ escape isolation?

Audi is offering ‘visitors’ a guided tour of its German production plant in Ingolstadt, all from the comfort and safety of their own home.

AudiStream is a ground-breaking on-line interactive tour of the largest Audi factory in the world — it is the equivalent size of Monaco, and has its very own ‘Ingolstadt Audi’ train station.

Audi has been building cars at the site for more than 70 years and in 2019 alone, produced more than 441,608 cars.

Modern production systems and high-tech solutions enable highly efficient, sustainable manufacturing, which has used electricity from renewables sources since 2012.

Reducing the world-wide ecological footprint is a great priority for Audi, which aims to achieve CO2-neutral production locations by 2025.

Now with AudiStream, the site can be covered in as little as 15min from anywhere in the world. All that is required is a laptop or mobile internet-enabled device, and the AudiStream can be accessed free of charge.

Audi is the first car manufacturer to offer a virtual tour and fans will experience the A3 bodyshop and the A4 assembly line, all from a safe and virtual distance.

They will see how 2,300 cars are produced daily by 45,000 workers, moving through every part of the process, right up to the point when the engines are switched on for the very first time.

All along the way, visitors will learn all the technical and technological detail behind the famous Audi Vorsprung durch Technik philosophy, thanks to an experienced tour guide who can answer all those burning questions over a live interactive discussion or on-line chat.

To book a 20min time slot for the Audi factory tour, users simply need to visit www.audi.stream.
