Several years ago, Audi announced that by 2026, all development on new combustion engines would stop. The goal is to switch to more sustainable and eco-friendly models. By 2033, Audi seeks to end all production of combustion engines and exclusively sell electric models. From phasing out their combustion engines to transferring profits to electric sales, Audi is committed to their electric future.
Innovative Performance
Every Audi e-tron vehicle currently uses the same base tech that's provided in the Porsche Taycan. But Audi is looking to change that. Moving forward, 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
When Audi made this announcement, the CEO, Markus Duesmann, had this to say: "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
Audi is committed to a "green" future, but some people and companies are apprehensive about making such a change. However, being a leader in innovation, Audi proves that people can adapt to such a future, and companies can embrace consumer demand and local regulations. As more companies switch to all-electric models, announcements like these will only get more frequent. So, as 2026 draws near be ready for an electrifying world.
