THE DECISION BY THE EU – The scenario is now outlined. The European Union wants to drastically reduce CO2, an objective it intends to pursue throughelectrification of transport, with the early retirement of vehicles powered by combustion engines. Some recent rumors released by the Politico site, which got to hear some officials, further confirm the EU’s willingness to accelerate towards the electric car. The EU is in fact thinking of say goodbye to combustion engines since 2035. The aim is climate neutrality by 2050. The proposal is currently under discussion and could be included in the final text of the “Fit for 55” package, which will be presented on 14 July. This includes 12 measures with which the Commission intends to achieve the target of reducing greenhouse gas emissions by 55% by 2030.
THE AUDI DECISION – And how will the builders behave in this context? Will they anticipate their plans for phasing out the combustion engine? Some of them have already given indications of the dates: for example the Fiat recently stated that “between 2025 and 2030, gradually, our product range will become electric only” (who to know more). The latest rumors concern theAudi which, according to reports from the newspaper southgerman newspaper, he intends to intrude onlatest new car with combustion engine in 2026. What will it be? Perhaps the next generation of the Q5. From that date on, only electric. The German newspaper specifies that an official announcement to this effect should arrive shortly, after the Audi CEO, Markus Duesmann, obtained the consent of the board of directors in recent days.
ALREADY FIVE MODELS – The march towards electrification of the Audi is proceeding quickly and the range of electric cars is getting richer and richer: after the medium-large suvs e-tron ed e-tron Sportback, it was the turn of the sports sedan e-tron GT and the suv media Q4 e-tron, followed shortly by the Q4 e-tron Sportback.
