Audi Production Factory in Brazil

Audi do Brasil announces that from June of this year it will be resuming the operations of its plant located in São José dos Pinhais state of Paraná.
The announcement was made this Wednesday 29 as part of a ceremony that took place at its Brazilian production plant.
In attendance were leading figures from the Brazilian automotive industry and representatives from both the local and federal government alongside Carlos Massa Ratinho Junior Governor of the State of Paraná Nina Singer mayor of São José dos Pinhais and Daniel Rojas President and CEO of Audi do Brasil. According to Daniel Rojas CEO of Audi do Brasil Audi has a solid and long-lasting relation with Brazil and even after a brief interruption of the operations in the last year we always believed in the recovery and growth potential of this country.
Thus the company has made efforts to resume its local production reinforcing the reliability on the country and on customers with this global product. According to Ratinho Junior Governor of the State of Paraná the plant re-opening dangles an optimistic scenario after so many challenging years due to the pandemic but we could overcome the difficulties and now gradually we are resuming the economic activities.
We are proud of hosting Audi in Brazil taking part of this so special journey and we look forward to continue together with this history of great achievements. Manufacturing activities will resume with the new Audi Q3 and Audi Q3 Sportback which are both equipped with a 231 HP 2.0 TFSI engine. Among the highlights of the new Q3 are the traction quattro and 8-speed tiptronic transmission which equips a vehicle with transverse engine.
This enables a smoother more comfortable shift between gears and represents a technological first. To facilitate the re-opening of the manufacturing plant Audi do Brasil invested R 100 million Real in modernizing its assembly line equipping it with new machinery tooling quality control equipment and information technology and logistics infrastructure systems.
This amount comes on top of a further R 446 million that has been invested by the brand over the last ten years. Initially the plant will have a maximum production capacity of four thousand vehicles per year in two shifts which will initially be sold exclusively within the domestic market.
The vehicles will be assembled at the plant via a Semi-Knock Down SKD manufacturing process which provides a highly efficient and technological approach to support its global production requirements.
