New Audis A6 and A7 with innovative diesel and hybrid technology from Hidria

The new soft-hybrid four-cylinder diesel engine built into the models Audi A6 and Audi A7 is more energy-saving and cleaner due to Hidria’s outstanding technology. This means modern diesel vehicles consume much less fuel and emit fewer gases harmful to health and the environment. The new Audi diesel engine – the first with four cylinders to be used by this prestigious manufacturer in their five-door coupés –also includes Hidria’s breakthrough diesel engine cold start system with the Optymus PSG pressure sensor.

More than 100 modern robots on Hidria’s automated production lines or machines

We are introducing several novelties and improvements in robotics. The best innovation in 2018 in our company was developed by Janez Fajdiga, an expert employee in technology. His unique solution improved and optimised how the robots in the die casting cell function so they can communicate with each other. This improved the work process and product quality.
