Audi Accelerates Combustion Engine Phase-Out, Focuses on Electric Vehicles

Volkswagen Subsidiary to Discontinue Combustion Engine Production by 2025

Strategy "Vorsprung 2030" Unveiled, Last Internal Combustion Model to Arrive in 2025

Volkswagen's subsidiary Audi has announced a refined timeline for its transition to electric vehicles, outlining its commitment to phase out combustion engines by 2025. As part of its new "Vorsprung 2030" strategy, Audi will introduce its last combustion engine model in 2025.

The move aligns with the company's broader goal of becoming a premium provider of sustainable mobility. Audi's strategy includes a focus on electric vehicles, digitalization, and the development of new technologies. The company has pledged to invest heavily in these areas, with a target of 15 new electric vehicle models by 2025.

Audi's decision to phase out combustion engines comes amid growing pressure from regulators and consumers to reduce carbon emissions. The European Union has set ambitious targets for reducing greenhouse gas emissions, and several countries have announced plans to ban the sale of new combustion engine vehicles in the coming years.
