Uniwheels OE on new Audi A8 Hybrid

Uniwheels’ has been selected to provide OE wheels for the new Audi A8 Hybrid. The contract sees Uniwheels provide its “19-inch hybrid aluminium wheel”, which is said to offer an exclusive aerodynamic design.

According to the company, the most advanced technologies are used to manufacture this alloy wheel in a turbine-style design. This means the weight-reducing flow-forming method and the challenging undercut machining to the classy 4EE-bicolor gloss finish. With its aero-dynamic efficient design and with its slanted spokes this high-tech wheel also contributes to the improved consumption in premium hybrid vehicles thanks to a favourable cw-value.

Volkswagen Group obviously recognises the efforts that go into Uniwheels’ products as the company has been a supplier to the well-known German carmaker for some time. As Ralf Schmid, CEO of Uniwheelss says: “We expect to deliver over a million alloy wheels to Audi for almost all car models this year and thus our existing leading position in the challenging OEM market will continue to consolidate”.
