In the wake of the European Commission’s announcement of the end date of traditional internal combustion engines on the Old Continent, the German four-circuit brand “Audi” has revealed its ambition to become a leading brand in the field of all-electric mobility.
And “Audi” revealed some features of its ambitious strategic plan, for which it chose the name “Vorsprung 2030” and determined through these features several key dates, starting from the moment when “Audi” turns its back on traditional internal combustion engines, until all its new models are 100% electric. %.
The announcement of the European Commission can be considered as the road map that must be followed in the future production of cars on European soil, especially in terms of the transition towards electric mobility, as under this ambitious plan that Europe seeks, all car brands that wish to be present in it will have to not Audi just has to adapt to these new trends.
From its side, “Audi” has put in place all the mechanisms necessary to implement the strategic plan for the Vorsprung 2030 zombie, which will eventually make Audi a 100% electric brand as the company has set two key dates. One targets the internal combustion engine and the other targets new Audi models.
Markus Duesmann, CEO of Audi, highlighted that the new strategic plan Forsprong 2030 will allow the company to survive in the future despite the revolution in the automotive industry. Surviving long into the future.. The pace of change in our society is accelerating rapidly and as a result we are accelerating our transformation.”
First stop 2026.. “Audi” fully electric:
The first stop in Audi’s transformation is very close, as from 2026 all new Audi models will be 100% electric. It is a very important measure that will determine the immediate future of the company because it determines the expiration date of vehicles equipped with an internal combustion engine.
It is important to take into account the dimensions of the Audi group.. The German company owns a wide range of cars, the vast majority of which are available with a combustion engine and some types of electricity. However, in recent years we have witnessed the arrival of a large number of electric cars bearing the four rings sign, including Audi Q4 e-tron and Audi e-tron GT as clear examples.
The second station 2033.. Stopping the production of combustion engines:
Once Audi introduces only new models with an all-electric powertrain, it will be necessary to focus on vehicles with internal combustion engines, and determine when Audi will stop producing them. Or, in short, when will these conventional engines be withdrawn from the market, and clearly, “Audi” has announced that it will end production of combustion engines by 2033.
The process of finalizing the production of internal combustion engines will be carried out gradually between now and that year, and Audi will accompany the Volkswagen Group and its other brands in this very transition towards sustainable mobility.
In the new 2030 strategy, CARIAD, the group’s software division, will develop a scalable software platform with a unified operating system and “Cloud Connection” for all the brands of the German car group by 2025. A platform that will enable Audi to go one step further. towards the world of self-driving.
