Audi to phase out combustion models and go all-electric by 2033

Audi is to phase out production of its combustion models and will only be launching all-electric models from 2026, it has announced.

The four-ring brand is now taking steps to prepare its global facilities for the production of all-electric cars.

Audi Board Member for Production and Logistics Gerd Walker said: “We don’t want any standalone lighthouse projects on greenfield sites.

“Instead, we are investing in our existing plants so they end up being just as efficient and flexible as newly built production sites or greenfield plants.

“The path Audi is taking conserves resources and accelerates our transformation to a provider of sustainable premium mobility.”

By the end of the decade, Audi will be making electric-drive models at all of its production sites worldwide.

“To achieve our goal, we are relying on our highly qualified staff and will make all our employees fit for the future by 2025 with a training budget of around 500 million euros,” says Walker.

Two sites, Böllinger Höfe and Brussels, are already producing all-electric vehicles.

Starting next year, the Audi Q6 e-tron will be the first all-electric model to roll off the production line in Ingolstadt.

And production of all-electric cars will gradually start in Neckarsulm, San José Chiapa, and Győr as well.

In 2029, all production sites will be producing at least one all-electric vehicle model.

Depending on local conditions, production of the remaining combustion models will be gradually phased out by the beginning of the next decade.

  2. Pure electric vehicles are not the answer energy prices soaring maindealears charging independent garages to programme in module’s and parts etc. Customers who already own an electric vehicle are complaining how long they take to charge and limited mileage. On top of that no garage owner i have spoken to have said that they are not replacing there tools for the specific ones required for working on these types of vehicles they all also went on to say that hopefully they will be retired by then. Overall this new technology being rushed through by the government from 2040 down to 2030 now and looks like another white elephant 🐘
