Audi plans to bring more electrified cars by the year 2018. The automaker is working hard in ensuring that it would introduce a new electric vehicle model every year. The company is also looking forward to maintain competition with EV maker Tesla Motors. The huge popularity of the Tela has made the prominent aut giants to reconstruct and implement new ideology of manufacturing EV’s in future. Audi’s new effort will commence with the launch of its first ever all-electric luxury-class SUV, which will be based on the Audi e-tron quattro concept car.
Audi CEO Rupert Stadler spoke about the company’s future plans at the car maker’s annual meeting on Thursday. He said, “The first large series all electric car will go into production in 2018 and we’re thinking beyond that: as of 2018, we will launch an electric model every year.”
Adding more, he stated, “Audi’s electric vehicles won’t just show up in market niches, but also in high-volume segments such as its Q line of crossovers, wagons, and SUVs.”
Audi is also looking forward in developing new era of producing gas and diesel-powered vehicles along with electric hybrids. Just in, last year itself it brought the 2016 A3 Sportback e-tron, a plug-in electric hybrid in the US market. Earlier this year, Audi confirmed its plans to reconstruct its network of factories in order to make enough room for manufacturing future all-electric SUV.
