Audi plans to begin construction on a new plant in China for fully electric Audi models, set to be completed by the end of 2024.
As part of a company jointly founded by Audi and its partner FAW in Changchun, the Premium Platform Electric (PPE) plans to build the site on an area of approximately 150 hectares.
The factory will produce new fully electric Audi models and include an entirely new IT architecture to network all site processes. The cross-site environmental programme Mission: Zero has outlined the company’s sustainability plans, ensuring production at the Changchun site will be CO2 neutral and fully connected.
Production areas at the plant will include a press shop, body construction, paint shop, and final assembly line, as well as in-house battery assembly. The first buildings will be established at the Changchun site once the frost period comes to an end.
