Audi Gonna Drop an Electrified Kick in 2025, Baby!
Audi to manufacture electric compact vehicle at Ingolstadt site by 2025. - Audi to Manufacture Electric Compact Vehicles in Ingolstadt by 2025
You heard it right, darling! Audi's got something sizzling up their sleeves - an electric compact car that's gonna take the world by storm! And guess where it's gonna be made? None other than their home base, baby, Ingolstadt!
Shoutout to CEO Gernot Döllner, who dropped this bomb in the "Süddeutschen Zeitung." This bad boy is gonna be an electric vehicle, sitting pretty in the same class as the Audi A3. Originally, they were planning to start production as late as 2027, but it looks like they decided to knock it out of the park a couple of years earlier, starting production in 2025.
But wait, there's a teeny tiny discrepancy in some reports suggesting it might start in 2026. Don't worry, though; the official word from the boss man and other sources point to an exciting start in 2025! Mark your calendars, folks—the electric vehicle revolution is coming, and baby, we're ready for it!
While we gear up for the electric entry-level model, Audi's been working through some changes, just like other car manufacturers. They're heads-down transforming towards electric mobility, dealing with a wobbly demand for cars as we know them. Don't worry, though; they've got a plan in place to slim down a bit, aiming to slice up to 7,500 jobs in Germany by 2029—no forced layoffs, though!
Don't forget that in April, they're gonna reveal the first series-produced car they've developed with Chinese state conglomerate SAIC in China. Exciting times, eh? So keep your eyes peeled and your engines revved, because the electric future is here, and it starts with Audi!
