EON and Audi are joining forces to build Europe’s largest PV energy system on the roof of two of the carmakers logistics centres in Gyor, Hungary. The project is part of a €100 million investment by EON, which will see it install more than 1,000 solar panels at its facilities across Europe. Audi’s Hungarian operation, Audi Hungaria, already uses geothermal energy to create almost three quarters of its heating requirements, and chairman Achim Heinfling said it eventually wanted a completely CO2-neutral plant.
