Another aspect is air conditioning of the interior—both during a journey and beforehand, as pre-climatization is an important comfort factor. This is when questions such as “Is the indicated time sufficient for pre-climatization?” This makes sounds such as the rolling of the tires or wind noise more prominent.

The long-term goal of the joint venture is the climate-friendly production of electricity in the deserts of North Africa and the Middle East. To achieve this goal we’re supporting the development of solar- and wind-driven power plants. When at Audi we speak of sustainable mobility, we are looking at the entire energy balance.

The Sydney storm, which left millions of people choking on some of the worst air pollution in 70 years, was a consequence of the 10-year drought that has turned parts of Australia's interior into a giant dust bowl, providing perfect conditions for high winds to whip loose soil into the air and carry it thousands of miles across the continent.
