International Audi eTwin Cup 2021: The winning team is from Switzerland

• Service employees put their abilities to the test
• First ever digital competition
• Practical tests with robots and VR glasses

Ingolstadt, September 28, 2021 - "Work together, win together": at the first international finals of the Audi eTwin Cup, 96 Audi service employees and technicians from 16 countries tested their abilities. In the end, the Swiss team prevailed. Horst Hanschur, head of Retail Business Development and Customer Services at AUDI AG, handed over the cup to the winning team.

Checking vehicle damage, calculating battery capacity, or answering questions about auto technology and service processes: 16 teams of three service employees and technicians each competed with one another in a total of five disciplines during the first international finals of the Audi eTwin Cup World Championship 2020/21. In the process, the Swiss team emerged as the winner. The second place team from South Korea was also impressive. Service workers and technicians from Bulgaria followed in third place. The winners in the individual service and technology categories were Poland and Russia.

Before that, the teams from the Audi partner factories from 16 countries had qualified for the Audi eTwin Cup World Championship 2020/21 finals in national competitions. About 1,700 teams participated in the preceding national competitions. As in the international finals, the teams had to prove their advisory capacity and technical knowledge in various practical and theoretical tests during the national finals.

The successor competition to the Audi Twin Cup, which has been held since 2005, was digital this time due to the Coronavirus pandemic, which is why the letter "e" was added to the name. While the previous 16 finals took place in a single final location, this year, the participants completed the tests in their car dealerships in their own countries. They were connected via computer to the Audi eTwin Cup master control room in the Munich airport and guided robots or proxies equipped with virtual reality glasses through their tasks, for instance with the Audi e- tron GT* - always under the critical eye of the live, on-site jury. The finalists were able to talk to each other in a loose, international atmosphere in digital social zones.

"I would very much like to thank my colleagues in the service and workshop areas. Their effort, specifically in these challenging times, makes them the most important pillar in Audi's after- sales business," says Horst Hanschur. "I am particularly glad to see so much team spirit and passion among the finalists. That is precisely the meaning of the motto for the competition 'work together, win together.' We are witnessing Vorsprung in the use of the most up-to-date - and, for the first time, phygital - technology. That is why we worked interactively with

Fuel consumption of the models named above

Information on fuel/electricity consumption and CO2 emissions in ranges depending on the tires and alloy wheel rims used and on the equipment and accessories of the car.

Audi e-tron GT quattro

Combined electric power consumption in kWh/100 km (62.1 mi): 21.8 - 19.9 (WLTP); 19.6 -

18.8 (NEDC); combined CO2 emissions in g/km (g/mi): 0 (0)

The indicated consumption and emissions values were determined according to the legally specified measuring methods. Since September 1, 2017, type approval for certain new vehicles has been performed in accordance with the Worldwide Harmonized Light Vehicles Test Procedure (WLTP), a more realistic test procedure for measuring fuel consumption and CO2 emissions. Since September 1, 2018, the WLTP has gradually replaced the New European Driving Cycle (NEDC). Due to the realistic test conditions, the fuel consumption and CO2 emission values measured are in many cases higher than the values measured according to the NEDC. Vehicle taxation could change accordingly as of September 1, 2018. Additional information about the differences between WLTP and NEDC is available at www.audi.de/wltp.

At the moment, it is still mandatory to communicate the NEDC values. In the case of new vehicles for which type approval was performed using WLTP, the NEDC values are derived from the WLTP values. WLTP values can be provided voluntarily until their use becomes mandatory. If NEDC values are indicated as a range, they do not refer to one, specific vehicle and are not an integral element of the offer. They are provided only for the purpose of comparison between the various vehicle types. Additional equipment and accessories (attachment parts, tire size, etc.) can change relevant vehicle parameters, such as weight, rolling resistance and aerodynamics and, like weather and traffic conditions as well as individual driving style, influence a vehicle's electrical consumption, CO2 emissions and performance figures.

Further information on official fuel consumption figures and the official specific CO2 emissions of new passenger cars can be found in the "Guide on the fuel economy, CO2 emissions and power consumption of all new passenger car models," which is available free of charge at all sales dealerships and from DAT Deutsche Automobil Treuhand GmbH, Hellmuth-Hirth-Str. 1, 73760 Ostfildern-Scharnhausen, Germany (www.dat.de).
