Audi to focus strictly on EVs, phase out internal combustion powered vehicles by 2033

India Today  

In a bid to be a sustainable, social, and technological leader by 2030, Audi announced its plan to focus entirely on manufacturing electric vehicles starting in 2026, and build a self-sustainable ecosystem around it. “The corporate strategy ‘Vorsprung 2030’ will ensure that Audi remains viable long into the future,” says Audi CEO Markus Duesmann. Audi will start production of its final combustion engine model in 2025, and with a firm date now set for the company’s transition to e-mobility, the brand with the four rings is tackling its transformation, and is embracing its role as a pioneer and driver of innovation in the automotive industry, hence focusing on zero-emission drive systems. In addition to the plan to phase out the internal combustion engine, more strongly differentiating Audi’s all-electric vehicles from the competition through quality and design as well as increasing the added value for customers play an important role.
