CTOnews.com, July 11, according to German media Automobilwoche, Audi intends to purchase an electric platform license from local electric car companies in order to shorten the development cycle of its models in order to cope with the competition of electric vehicles in China. Audi is currently in talks with a number of Chinese car companies.

According to the China Business report, Audi China said, "over the past 35 years since entering China, Audi has been committed to contributing to the development of China's automobile industry." Adhering to the'in China, for China 'strategy, Sihuan Brand firmly implements its commitment in China and promotes mutually beneficial and win-win localization development. As we all know, China's auto market is in a period of greatest change in history. Audi will work with all parties to formulate a strategic approach to create a successful future. "

Audi, a sub-brand of Volkswagen Group, has a number of electric platforms, including MLBevo, J1, MEB and PPE, which are used to make different types and levels of electric models. However, Audi has not performed well in the field of electric vehicles in recent years, lagging behind competitors BMW and Mercedes-Benz, and also facing software problems and production delays. Obom, chief executive of Volkswagen Group, said recently that Audi needs to reinvigorate its position in the Chinese market, and products based on the PPE platform are the key to Audi's transformation in China.

The PPE platform is a high-end electric platform jointly developed by Audi and Porsche. Audi will launch the all-electric SUV Q6 e-tron in 2024, the first model of the brand to adopt the PPE platform architecture and will carry the long-delayed 1.2 version of the software system. At the end of June last year, Audi FAW New Energy Automobile Co., Ltd. held a groundbreaking ceremony in Changchun, with a planned annual production capacity of 150000 vehicles. This is Audi's first luxury pure electric factory in China and plans to start producing electric vehicles based on the PPE platform by the end of 2024.

CTOnews.com reported earlier that Audi Chinese officials had previously announced that Audi's new models for the global market would be fully switched to pure electric vehicles from 2026, and the production of internal combustion engine models would be phased out by 2033. "under the guidance of the global strategy, Audi is steadily advancing preparations for the production of pure electric vehicles at its own production base," Audi officials said. "
