German carmaker Audi is hoping to catch up when it comes to improving its share of the electric car market in China.
“We continue to take a positive view of the Chinese market,” Audi boss Markus Duesmann said on Tuesday on the sidelines of the international car show Auto Shanghai.
Electric cars already accounted for 25% of sales in the Chinese car market. However, Audi still sells hardly any vehicles in this segment and has a small market share.
According to Duesmann, Audi wants to significantly expand its range of vehicles. Ten all-electric models are planned for the next three years, he said.
“This will significantly improve our position,” said Duesmann. Audi has the ambition to play a “very significant role” in the premium electric car segment.
