Audi begins production of Audi e-tron

AUDI starts into the future: This Monday, Audi begins mass production of the Audi e-tron in Brussels. The brand’s first allelectric SUV has a range suitable for everyday use. With a charging capacity of up to 150 kw at quickcharging stations, it is ready for its next long-distance drive in about 30 minutes. Audi will present the unveiled electric car for the first time at its world premiere in San Francisco on September 17.

Misano Red and ready for the road: Audi Board of Management Member for Production, Peter Kössler, and Patrick Danau, Managing Director of Audi Brussels, could not resist watching the first Audi e-tron models driving silently off the assembly. “The Audi e-tron is a genuine pioneer,” stated Peter Kössler, Member of the Board of Management for Production and Logistics at Audi AG.

“It features innovative technologies such as virtual exterior mirrors and combines traditional Audi qualities in handling and dynamics with technical Vorsprung that goes far beyond the car. Our Brussels plant was comprehensively modernized for the production of the electric car. This is the world’s first certified Co2-neutral mass production in the premium segment.”

Audi Brussels offsets all emissions produced in production and at the site, primarily by using energy from renewable sources, but also through environmental projects.
