“We are delighted that Jürgen Russer is joining Audi Hungaria.

He is credited with optimising the factory’s production structures and integrating several Audi models into production, as well as increasing production volumes in recent years.

With this, Audi Hungaria’s vehicle manufacturing plant has become the first production site within Audi’s international production network where two brands are manufactured. The company appreciates his dedicated work and contribution. Zoltán Les will succeed Jürgen Russer as factory manager of FAW-Volkswagen’s Changchun plant in China.
