Audi
- Premium Automobiles OFFICIAL CAR
The Audi emblem of four rings is a symbol
of one of Germany's oldest-established automobile manufacturers.
It symbolises the amalgamation of four previously independent
motor-vehicle manufacturers: Audi, DKW, Horch and Wanderer
in 1932. These companies form the roots of what is today AUDI
AG. The philosophy of the Audi brand however, has not changed
since the early days of creating 'good, strong vehicles for
discerning tastes'. Today, advanced technology, progressive
design and exemplary environmental protection, also known
as 'Vorsprung durch Technik', remains the motto of the company.
An Audi automobile is also considered an aesthetic piece,
with much conceptualisation behind each creation: exterior
and interior designers, engineers and modellers work hand
in hand at Audi design and every feature of a form and every
detail has its purpose. Therefore, nothing can be altered
without spoiling the overall impression. Audi has also been
saluted for the active role it has taken to protect the
environment. Awarded the EU emblem for outstanding environmental
protection, it issues environmental declarations informing
the public about the latest environmental data at its various
plants, which deal with waste management, pollution control,
water conservation, energy and environment programmes.
