The all-electric Audi E-Tron will debut later this year.

Audi's assembly setup at the Hungarian plant is modular so that the automaker can adjust as needed, with automated vehicles that transport components between each assembly station. Currently, the motor line is set up with 100 employees able to produce 400 electric motor axles per day, but by the end of the year that will expand to 130 employees working on three shifts. Audi says its production techniques allow for precise, tight windings of the copper wire within the motor stator coils, increasing efficiency. Each electric car will need two of the axles because they, like almost all Audi vehicles, will feature all-wheel drive.
