Audi will ban production of oil and gasoline cars in 2026

Interestingly, this report shows that as of this year, Audi will not even offer hybrid models.

Clearly, this accelerated approach and electrification are part of the Volkswagen Group's overall plan and strategy, which is quite radical compared to the approach of other German brands, such as BMW and Mercedes, says the autocar, Periscope.

Although they already have some electric models, their strategy still relies on internal combustion engines, and they are convinced that this will be the case for an even longer period.

Due to the poor availability of rare minerals used in batteries, the BMW worries that electrical models will be more expensive than conventional models and does not plan to prevent the development of the SS engines at all.

In any case, it is certain that the next decade will be a turning point for the automobile industry, and it remains to be seen who made the right moves at the right time.
