<\/p>\n

Audi first introduced the concept named e-tron<\/strong> in 2009 at the Frankfurt Motor Show. The purely electric e-tron concept<\/strong> was aimed at the supercar segment and was intended to promote a new development direction – BEV<\/a>. The concept bore a striking resemblance to the Audi R8 sports car, featuring four electric motors with a combined output of 230 kW (309 horsepower<\/a>) and a colossal torque of 4500 Nm. With these parameters, the e-tron concept achieved acceleration from 0 to 100 km\/h in 4.8 seconds.<\/span><\/p>\n

In 2010<\/strong><\/span>, at the Geneva Motor Show<\/a>, Audi introduced another interesting concept named Audi A1 e-tron<\/strong>. It was not a pure electric vehicle but rather a car falling into the category of electro-hybrid vehicles<\/a> (HEV<\/a>), which combine multiple sources of energy. The Audi A1 e-tron featured a traction electric motor with a power output of 45 kW and used a Wankel engine with a generator as a backup power source to recharge the battery.<\/span><\/p>\n

In 2013<\/strong><\/span>, at the Geneva Motor Show<\/a>, another milestone was reached with the start of the serial production of the Audi A3 e-tron plug-in hybrid<\/strong>, which was set to begin sales later that year for \u20ac37,000. The e-tron was built on a modified MQB platform<\/a> and shared elements with the Golf GTE<\/a>. The vehicle’s heart was a 1.4 TFSI petrol engine with an output of 150 horses<\/a>. The traction electric motor was integrated into the DSG transmission and served two additional functions: as a generator for kinetic energy recovery and as a starter for rapid engine start.<\/span><\/p>\nngg_shortcode_9_placeholder\n

In 2018<\/span><\/strong>, the first serial version of a BEV<\/a> vehicle, simply named Audi e-tron<\/strong>, was introduced. Built on the MLB platform, the car featured an SUV body style and all-wheel drive. The launch of this vehicle effectively marked the beginning of VW Group\u2019s sales of battery electric vehicles.<\/span><\/p>\nngg_shortcode_10_placeholder\n

The Geneva Motor Show<\/a> in 2019 witnessed another premiere with the introduction of the battery electric vehicle concept Audi Q4 e-tron<\/strong>. This model used the MEB platform<\/a>, specifically developed for battery electric vehicles and providing ample space for batteries crucial for satisfactory range.<\/span><\/p>\nngg_shortcode_11_placeholder\n

Did you know:<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/h2>\n

Electric energy is not the only alternative power source for the future. Another possible source is compressed natural gas<\/a> CNG<\/a>. Audi offers vehicles that run on natural gas<\/a> and refers to them as g-tron<\/strong>. Looking ahead, hydrogen power is also planned. Audi’s hydrogen concepts are designated h-tron<\/strong>.<\/span><\/p>\n
