Audi has announced plans to develop a plug-in hybrid vehicle for the Chinese market. The new automobile will be jointly-developed with the German automaker’s Chinese partner, First Automotive Works (FAW).
“Expansion of our production capacities in China and cooperation with FAW on a plug-in-hybrid project especially for the Chinese market are important milestones. With our involvement in China, we are strengthening our international competitive position and moving closer to our goal of selling more than two million automobiles per annum worldwide by the year 2020,” said Rupert Stadler, Chairman of the Board of Management of Audi.

Details about the new hybrid have yet to be revealed.
