With a charging capacity of up to 150kW at quick-charging stations, the Audi e-tron is ready for the next long-distance stage in about 30 minutes. Audi will present the unveiled electric car for the first time at its world premiere in San Francisco on 17 September.
With a system output of up to 400bhp, the full-size SUV with a fully electric drive accelerates from 0-100km/h in less than six seconds
"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. 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.
"Audi built up numerous competencies in-house for the Audi e-tron and developed both the battery technology and the actual drive system itself. And employees rethought, planned and implemented many stages of production," said Danau. Since summer 2016, the plant has extensively rebuilt its body shop, paint shop and assembly line step by step, and has set up its own battery production.
Driverless transport systems bring the batteries for the electric cars to the assembly line just in sequence. The employees in Brussels have received more than 200,000 hours of training for the first all-electric Audi and are thus perfectly prepared for the start of production.
Audi is to broadcast the world premiere of the Audi e-tron in San Francisco live on 18 September at 11:30am Singapore time at www.e-tron.audi.
