Audi Hungaria will not be affected by the Volkswagen Group Supervisory Board’s September 3 decision on planned workforce reductions, the Győr-based vehicle manufacturer’s communications department said on Monday evening.
The company also said there were currently no plans to modify capacity utilization at its Győr plant.
According to the Volkswagen Group’s website, the Supervisory Board’s decision requires the company to develop a concept for a sustainable and competitive production structure across its European plants by the end of June 2027.
The group currently has more than 500,000 units of excess production capacity in Europe compared with demand. It also said it could not ensure a competitive distribution of production at Volkswagen’s plants in Emden, Zwickau and Hanover, or at Audi’s plant in Neckarsulm. Alternative uses for the facilities are therefore being examined.
Volkswagen also said its global workforce capacity needed to be restructured. Under its Future Plan 2030 reform programme, the group plans to eliminate a further 50,000 jobs, including management positions, on top of the 50,000 cuts announced previously.
Audi said that Audi AG needs to significantly improve its competitiveness and reduce costs as part of that effort. In North America, the company plans to place an even greater focus on SUV models while continuing to localize its supply chain.
Audi AG’s management board will soon begin consultations with employee representatives in Germany, the company said.
Headquartered in Győr, Audi Hungaria is part of the Audi Group and serves as a major engine and powertrain supplier to both Audi and the wider Volkswagen Group.
Audi Hungaria generated revenue of 9.222 billion euros last year and recorded a net profit of 368 million euros. The company invested 375 million euros in new technologies in 2025.
In the same year, Audi Hungaria produced 1,585,290 powertrains, including 264,871 electric powertrains, while 200,756 vehicles rolled off its production lines.
