Audi's two first-volume electric vehicles will be produced at the Brussels plant and will be pressured by German unions. Stade said on Wednesday at the Ingolstadt headquarters in Audi Germany for 7,000 workers that in the future, all of Audi's plants will be involved in electric vehicle production.
Audi's R&D director Peter Mertens said that Audi hopes to launch more than 20 electric vehicles by 2025, including more than a dozen pure electric vehicles.
Audi will begin production of the e-tron EV at its plant in Brussels next year, and the e-tron hatchback will begin production in 2019. The e-tron's benchmark model is mainly the Tesla Model X, while the hatchback version will face the upcoming Jaguar I-Pace.
In 2020, Audi will produce compact electric vehicles based on the Volkswagen Group's modular electric platform MEB. Starting in 2021, Audi will produce electric vehicles based on a new high-end electric vehicle platform developed with Porsche. In addition to the Ingolstadt and Neckarsulm plants, Audi also has plants in Belgium, Mexico and Hungary, and in the overseas markets it also uses Volkswagen and Skoda factories.
Audi Union Chairman Peter Mosch also called on Audi executives to accelerate the deployment of electric vehicles in Germany on Wednesday, mainly because Audi's workers in Germany will gradually lose their competitiveness under the development trend of new energy vehicles. Peter Mosch said workers hope to have a statement before the end of the year.
