Audi paid tribute to one of its senior executives who was killed in a mountaineering accident in Italy at the weekend, praising his contribution to the automaker over more than a decade.
Fabrizio Longo, Audi's Managing Director for Italy, died when he fell from 10,000 feet (3,050 metres) during an excursion in the north-eastern Italian region of Trentino. Aged 62, Longo was an experienced mountain climber.
A spokesman for the brand, part of Volkswagen group , on Tuesday described Longo as a person of "great integrity, culture, capability and sensitivity".
"Fabrizio Longo has been leading the Audi brand in Italy with enormous success since 2013, confirming the brand's leadership in the premium segment for 11 consecutive years," the spokesman said, citing a company statement.
