Audi: collaborating with Sanyo on the hybrids

posted: Monday 12 May 2008 by Alison in: Audi Tech

Audi will collaborate with Japanese giant Sanyo in the planning of hybrid technology for the next generation VAG group cars. Until now the Volkswagon group has invested in streamlining internal combustion engines, first diesel then petrol, reaching levels of excellence while also delaying the release of hybrid models that other competitor companies are already realising.

To make up for this, they’re relying on the experience of Sanyo, especially so as to not limit hybrid models to niche cars such as the SUV Audi Q7 and the Volkswagon Tuareg. It’s possible that the first models to benefit from this new technology will be the Volkswagen Up! and the Audi A1.
