Audi and FAW establish a new company in China to produce electric vehicles

Audi and FAW have signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) that defines the framework for the joint production of electric vehicles based on the Premium Platform Electric (PPE) platform. The MoU was signed during the Germany-China Automobile Conference.

Audi and FAW are currently jointly producing the all-electric Q2L e-tron and the long-wheelbase variant of the plug-in hybrid A6 TFSIe. In addition, the previously imported Audi e-tron has been produced in Changchun since the end of September.

Audi is systematically following the path of sustainable mobility in China and is specifically gearing its locally produced drive portfolio towards the requirements and wishes of Chinese premium customers. In the coming years, Audi will offer or localise further fully electric models of the e-tron family in China. By 2025, Audi plans to generate approximately one third of its unit sales in China with electrified cars. The plans for the new joint venture are still being developed. Production is scheduled to start in 2024.
