Statements by Audi CEO Gernot Döllner

  • “Paris shows how closely mobility and quality of life are connected. And it reminds us that the future of mobility will be shaped by how intelligently we use space, energy and technology. For electric mobility to succeed across Europe, it has to work in people’s everyday lives. And it has to be efficient, attractive and easy to use.”
  • “Premium cannot just mean more — more power, more size, more resources. It has to mean using resources more intelligently, without compromising on quality, technology or the customer experience.”
  • “If we want to bring back the idea of the A2 for a new era, efficiency cannot be one requirement among many. It has to be the leading principle. The result is the most efficient Audi we have ever built. It translates directly into everyday usability: more range, less charging, fewer stops.”
  • “We developed the A2 e-tron with a clear focus on Europe — on the way people live, drive and use their cars here. It’s designed to meet the needs of European customers — developed in Germany, and built in Ingolstadt.”
  • “The Audi A2 e-tron is a strong proof of what our brand can achieve when we focus on what truly matters. It does not ask customers to adapt their lives to electric mobility. It adapts electric mobility to their lives.”
