Hydro已被要求为奥迪未来的大批模型之一提供前崩溃管理系统，这强调了该公司作为轻型崩溃管理组件的全球领先供应商的地位。
A4: Hydro supplies the front crash management system for Audi's A4, which won raves at IAA 2007 in Frankfurt.
The order also confirms the German carmaker's confidence in Hydro as its preferred supplier of extruded aluminium-based crash management components. Including the new order, Hydro will be producing about 60 percent of the bumper beams in Audi's fleet of models.
The order covers delivery of the front systems for both the European and the North American versions of the future model. Expected volume is about 250,000 systems per year.
Hydro将在挪威的汽车结构工厂生产保险杠梁。用于撞车箱的铝制配置文件以及影响管理系统的其他挤出组件也将来自Raufoss站点。
这些组件将在正在建设的捷克共和国的水电设施中组装成完整的系统，然后交付给德国和匈牙利的奥迪议会厂。
