It has been reported that Audi, through its top executives, has approved 
the project for a wide range of Audi eco-friendly cars to come in the next 6 years. It will include five units to be called E1 to E5, reports say. We found more info at Audi Talk!
In the recent year, Audi was open to the ‘green campaign’ even on automobiles. This is in line with the unified efforts of different industries to be more conscious of the environment’s state. True enough, Audi is with this campaign.
Why the next six years?
No matter what, companies still have to consider money more than anything else. This is probably the reason why they’re not rushing things. Besides, they have to undergo a long process since it entails applying new technologies for an eco-friendly output.
And even if the market is open to such units now, we still can’t say that they’re willing to shell out financially. People can always rave about something without patronizing it. So six years could be enough time to prepare the market for a greener pasture.
An additional twist to this update is the plan of the manufacturer to revive the A2 small car. Not only that, they’re also planning to launch an environment-friendly Roadjet wagon. The concept has been shown already last year 2006 at the Detroit Auto Show.
All these units are expected to have small engines for both gasoline and diesel. It will also have drivetrains that are hybrid and electric. Keeping the weight lighter is the use of aluminum in the units.
