To make production possible, Audi has invested EUR 600 million in its Brussels site since 2016.The Audi factory in Vorst has converted its bodywork and paint shop and assembly line on a large scale and built up its own battery production.

The employees of the factory have also completed more than 200,000 training hours specifically for the first fully electric Audi. "Audi has developed numerous parts for the e-tron itself, as well as for the battery technology and the drive system," says Patrick Danau, director of the Brussels plant.
