800 of the almost 3,000 employees at the new vehicle plant have already worked in the production of the TT at the old assembly shop located in the engine factory. Each staff member of vehicle production take part in an extensive training programme at Audi Hungaria's Project and Training Center and various Germany-based production sites.
