Audi Begins Producing A4 and A6 Models in Indonesia

[Jujitsuka]

Like many other automakers, Audi is constantly expanding its production network to include new countries. This time, the German premium carmaker has launched a new assembly plant in Indonesia in cooperation with INDOMOBIL /Garuda Mataram Motor, to produce the Audi A4 1.8 TFSI and A6 2.0 TFSI cars in the capital city Jakarta.

 

 

The first A4 and A6 models were delivered to Indonesian customers earlier this month, with the German company planning to assemble around 2,700 cars per year by 2015, including 2,000 A4 models, exclusively for the Indonesian market.

 

Audi said the Indonesian car market is forecast to grow by 15 percent this year, with sales in the premium segment expected to double over the next five years.

[WTF]

Don't think so. BM said the same thing when they started introducing the Altis years ago. But is it really cheaper???

[Junjie]

Vios and Altis also assembled in Thailand, any cheaper? Don't think so....baiscally saving for OEM not consumers.

basically cars are assembled by machines so it's not a big deal where it's assembled. While there won't be significant price reductions, at least it helps keep the companies competitive and those manufacturing in high cost labor countries would soon be priced out of the market, especially if it's a mass production model.
