Audi New Zealand

Technical evolution at Audi is a permanent process.As far as we at Audi are concerned, “Vorsprung durch Technik” also means that our vehicles offer a high standard of passive safety for the occupants.A rigid body structure, ingenious deformation behaviour, innovative restraint systems and, last but not least, outstanding technology such as the head airbag system SIDEGUARD ensure an extremely high standard of occupant protection.Although it is true of course that such safety measures are geared towards the numerous international standards concerned with passive safety, such regulations are by no means our only guiding principle. After all, sets of regulations, regardless of how precisely they are formulated, can only ever cover part of what really happens in an accident.For Audi therefore, the analysis of road accidents is an important source of information for the purpose of improving passenger safety. An intensive exchange of information with specialists for accident injuries at university clinics and accident researchers is also among the tasks performed by the company’s safety experts.Ingenious technical innovations, however, not only improve safety on board, but also ensure a high standard of operating convenience and driving pleasure.
