In about 6 years, in 2029, the German automaker Audi will be able to launch the production of electric vehicles in Brazil. The information was interpreted as a real possibility after the announcement made on January 3 Gerd Walker, Board Member for Production and Logistics. Then it was announced that by the year under review, all factories of the brand would produce at least one electric car; by 2033 only electric vehicles will be produced.

In turn, press office segment giant said:

“Depending on local conditions, production of the rest of the internal combustion models will be phased out by the beginning of the next decade. The goal is to ensure the production of electric vehicles in all factories by 2029. In Brazil, there is still no confirmation of the production of electric vehicles.”

The information does not directly confirm the rumors, but the likelihood of a similar scenario in the coming years is not excluded. OUR Audi Q6 electronic thronestarting next year, will be the first all-electric car produced on the production line Ingolstadt (Germany). Also in Germany, but according to Neckarsulmas well as in Hungary (gyor) and in Mexico (San Jose Chiapa), production will start gradually.

walker concluded: “Step by step, we are moving all of our factories into the future (…) We are investing in our existing factories to be as efficient and flexible as a factory built from scratch.“.

AT Chinathe company will make a production site available by the end of 2024 – more precisely, in Changchun.

Audi Electric Vehicles and Brazil

Audi currently has a shared factory with Volkswagen located in Sao José dos Pinhais (PR). Production is currently SUV Q3, but there is no sign of interest in all-electric driving in our country, because the associated costs are very high, and there is a complete exemption from the import of all-electric vehicles. Over the years, the scenario may change, but until then it is not clear.

One of the main representatives in this region, GM, is structuring its projects to move to a 100% electric model even in the domestic market, bypassing the hybrid phase. Anyway, since 2033Experts note that they will either invest in electrical alternatives at this facility or exit the market focusing only on imports. We just have to wait and see how this situation develops.
