Audi revises EV-only plans, embraces hybrids and new combustion engine vehicles
Audi is reassessing its electrification trajectory. The German premium automaker has walked back its earlier target for all-electric sales by 2032.

The German luxury carmaker had originally planned to introduce its last new petrol-powered car in 2026 and transition to BEVs entirely by 2032. But CEO Gernot Döllner confirmed in a recent strategy update that the brand is revising those targets, saying the transition to electric mobility is taking longer than expected.
