May 7, 2023 Large automotive concerns are beginning to migrate to electric vehicles from the premium price segment, and this strategy is paying off. Just look at the sales statistics of the Audi brand, which is part of the Volkswagen concern. In the first quarter of this year, it increased the number of electric vehicles delivered by 43% to 34,584 units compared to the same period last year.

In total, according to the results of the first quarter, electric vehicles of this brand were able to increase their share in the structure of deliveries of Audi vehicles from 6.2 to 8.2%. From 2026, we recall, Audi intends to present only electric vehicles, although the production of old models with internal combustion engines will remain until 2033. By the middle of the current decade, Audi intends to introduce 10 new models of electric vehicles, in the next five years, 28 billion euros will be spent on their development and digitalization of the entire business. This year, Audi is set to launch the Q6 e-tron crossover SUV, which is based on the PPE platform, developed jointly with Porsche, which uses an 800V high-voltage network to allow faster range replenishment at express charging stations. The car will enter the market in the second half of the year, a pre-production sample has already been demonstrated by the company during tests in March (pictured above). If we talk directly about the number of Audi electric vehicles produced, then in the first quarter their number more than doubled to 47,660 units. Such progress compared to the same period last year became possible due to the improvement in the situation with the availability of semiconductor components. However, in the Chinese market, deliveries of Audi electric vehicles in the first quarter decreased by almost 16% year-on-year. Management is inclined to attribute this to production problems generated by last year’s lockdowns in China, but Volkswagen’s products in the electric vehicle segment in the local market as a whole are beginning to lose to Chinese brand products in terms of performance and equipment. Audi produced 8% more vehicles of all types in the first quarter than a year earlier, the company’s revenue grew by 18.2% to 16.9 billion euros, but operating profit fell by 60% due to problems with the availability of components and rising prices .
