Audi believes in Mexico for global growth



Production site at San José Chiapa is centrally located with direct access to logistics, infrastructure and contact to labor as well as qualified employees besides schools and colleges for employees children are available.
A new Audi plant will be built at San José Chiapa in Mexico. Construction is expected to commence in early 2013 while the plant will be ready for production operations in 2016.

This location was selected after Audi Board of Management and Volkswagen Management Group surveyed a series of locations. It was found that this particular site in the state of Puebla, Central Mexico, was most suitable to the company's requirements and will go a long way in ensuring company growth as per Audi Strategy 2020.

Once production activities commence at this new site, the company will be able to increase their activities in American and other international markets. Audi's new plant in Mexico, will be their most advanced with all latest production equipment. From here, Audi plans to manufacture their premium range of vehicles. Audi has stated that production of next gen Q5 SUV will take place at this new plant. Future Q5 is being planned for 2016 with annual capacity of 150,000 units.
