About the Audi brand
Audi is a German premium automobile manufacturer and a core brand of the Volkswagen Group, headquartered in Ingolstadt, Germany. Known for its commitment to engineering precision, advanced technology, and understated design, Audi has been a pioneer in all wheel drive systems, lightweight construction, and digital innovation. The company's shift toward electrification reflects its broader "Vorsprung durch Technik" philosophy, evolving from combustion performance to intelligent, software defined mobility.
Audi's electric lineup falls under the e-tron sub brand, which began with the Audi e-tron SUV and has since expanded into a full range of models including the Q4 e-tron, Q8 e-tron, and the high performance e-tron GT. These vehicles utilize the Volkswagen Group's MEB and PPE electric platforms, delivering long range capability, fast charging through 800 volt systems, and advanced thermal management. Audi's Quattro heritage continues in the electric era through precision torque vectoring and dual motor all wheel drive configurations.
The brand integrates cutting edge digital systems across its EV portfolio, featuring virtual cockpit displays, over the air updates, and advanced driver assistance capabilities. Each model emphasizes refinement, quietness, and efficiency while maintaining Audi's characteristic balance between performance and everyday usability. Battery production and sustainability form a key part of Audi's electrification roadmap, supported by renewable energy use and closed loop material recovery programs.
By 2030, Audi aims for the majority of its global sales to be fully electric, with production facilities transitioning to net carbon neutral operations. The company's strategy combines German engineering discipline with a focus on connectivity, sustainability, and luxury, positioning Audi as one of the leading premium brands driving the transformation toward zero emission mobility.
AUDI in China
In China, the brand operates through a dedicated joint venture known as Audi FAW NEV Co., Ltd., focused exclusively on the development and production of premium electric vehicles. This division uses the all caps "AUDI" branding to differentiate its new energy identity from the global Audi brand while maintaining shared engineering and quality standards. Headquartered in Changchun, the venture combines the Volkswagen Group's PPE platform with localized design, supply chain, and digital ecosystem development tailored for the Chinese market.
Models such as the AUDI Q6 e-tron and the upcoming AUDI E5 showcase this regional strategy, emphasizing advanced connectivity, localized infotainment, and high efficiency electric drivetrains. Notably, the Chinese division has replaced the traditional four rings emblem with a simplified wordmark logo to signify the beginning of a new, electric focused brand chapter. The change reflects AUDI's intent to project a modern, technology driven image that aligns with China's dynamic EV culture while maintaining the precision and performance heritage associated with the Audi name.
Through its collaboration with FAW Group, AUDI represents a key element of the Volkswagen Group's broader electrification plan for China. By blending local innovation, digital integration, and refined German engineering, AUDI is redefining what premium electric mobility means for the Chinese market.
