奥迪引发墨西哥电动车计划传闻

German auto giant Audi is expected to reveal plans for manufacturing electric vehicles (EVs) in Mexico this month, according to inside sources. However, a representative from Germany has denied any such developments.

Since 2016, the Puebla state in central Mexico has been home to Audi’s production of their Q5 compact SUV, along with a hybrid variant. A big announcement about Audi’s progression towards EVs is rumored to occur on July 18 at their plant in San Jose Chiapa, Puebla, with top German officials expected to be present.

奥迪在德国的一位发言人表示："目前没有宣布计划，我们无法确认任何商务旅行或宣布。

He also pointed out Audi’s aspiration to have at least one EV manufactured at each of its global production locations, including Mexico, by 2030.

普埃布拉州是一个重要的汽车枢纽，拥有大量的汽车制造厂。 大众汽车 factory and many parts suppliers. The Mexican President, Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador, hinted at upcoming investments in Puebla’s auto industry, though it remains unclear how much Audi plans to invest.

Both Audi and Volkswagen have expressed ambitions to boost their global EV output. Volkswagen declared last year a plan to invest more than $7 billion over the next five years in North America, including for EV production.

在墨西哥，他们去年宣布投资 $7.63 亿美元来加强普埃布拉工厂，引进一个新的电动油漆部门。

As Mexico strives to increase production of eco-friendly vehicles, the country’s officials anticipate more investment from Audi. Last year, Audi released a statement discussing growth plans at the plant and the shift to “solely completely electric cars in the future,” 路透社 报告。
