Audi Confirms It Will Stop Developing New Internal-Combustion Engines in 2026
Audi will quit designing new gasoline or diesel engines in 2026, and plans to go EV-only in 2032.
Back in March, Audi confirmed that its internal combustion engine development program will soon come to a close. The automaker instead aims to focus on electric powertrains, as Euro 7 emissions regulations make ICE-powered machines more difficult to produce and many cities and nations consider banning ICE vehicles in the near future. The initial announcement from the German automaker didn’t put a proper timeline in place, but CEO Marcus Duesmann has added detail to the decision. According to the executive, Audi will no longer develop new gasoline or diesel engines after 2026.
