Years ago, Audi made the announcement that by 2026, they'd stop developing new combustion engines. They also said by 2033, all production would cease on combustion engines. This was to facilitate their commitment to producing all-electric vehicles. Since then, Audi has tried to stick to that plan, so let's look at what to expect in the future.
Innovative Performance
In all current electric Audi models, the vehicles use the same base tech that's provided in the Porsche Taycan. But with the new EVs the company is trying to produce, Audi seeks to develop a one-of-a-kind Audi feel. This will include factors such as steering angle requirements, hand torque, acoustics, and more.
What Audi has to Say
Upon making the announcement of their electric plans, CEO Markus Duesmann said: "The exact timing of the combustion engine's discontinuation at Audi will ultimately be decided by customers and legislation." He continued to say, "With this roadmap, we are creating the clarity necessary to make a decisive and powerful transition to the electric age. We're sending the signal that Audi is ready."
The Future is Green with Audi
For years, Audi has been chasing their electric dream. In a few short years, the first part of the plan will begin. Audi is committed to a "green" future, and more companies are following suit. Although some people and companies are wary of this future, Audi proves things can change for the better. So, as 2026 draws near, are you ready for a new electric world?
