Audi announced that in 2026, they will stop all development of combustion engine models. This is so the company can focus entirely on electric vehicles. By 2033, Audi aims to end all production of combustion engines. As part of their new manifesto, Audi plans to become a more sustainable company moving forward. Their plans range from the combustion phase-out to finding ways to help transfer profits from combustion vehicle sales to electric. Let's take a closer look at Audi's all-electric future.
Innovative Performance
All Audi e-tron models use the same base technology as the Porsche Taycan. Though moving forward, Audi wants to develop a one-of-a-kind Audi feel. This will include looking at factors such as steering angle requirements, hand torque, acoustics, and more.
What Audi has to Say
According to the CEO of Markus Duesmann, "The exact timing of the combustion engine's discontinuation at Audi will ultimately be decided by customers and legislation." He went on 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."
Innovate with Audi
There are still people and companies apprehensive about switching to EVs. However, Audi shows that the auto industry can change to a "greener" future. They also prove that car companies are willing to adapt to satisfy consumer demand and local regulations. With more and more companies switching to all-electric models, announcements like these will only get more frequent.
