Defining that wow feeling
At the Audi Technical Development division, engineers are working on translating that special Audi driving experience to the new Audi electric vehicles.
Only consumption and emission values according to WLTP and not according to NEDC are available for the vehicle.

From LED to Matrix LED and OLED technology
Better visibility, more precise illumination: Audi is constantly building a technological advantage with the headlights and taillights on its vehicles.
The actual charging time of an electric vehicle depends to a large extent on an ideal charging curve. Apart from the chemistry of the battery, it is achieved by a complex thermal management of the lithium-ion battery.
Only consumption and emission values according to WLTP and not according to NEDC are available for the vehicle.

Pioneer of light
It is a characteristic feature that makes Vorsprung durch Technik physically tangible: Light is playing an ever more important role as a means of communication at Audi.
Only consumption and emission values according to WLTP and not according to NEDC are available for the vehicle.

Time for new experiences
Audi has given us a glimpse into the future of automated mobility with its Sphere concept vehicles. How far has the technology come, what possibilities does it offer and – technical aspects aside – what else needs to be considered? A conversation about current developments.
Unique: the lighting technology of the Audi Q6 e-tron
The active digital light signature of the Audi Q6 e-tron is a world first. In addition, the communication lights in the rear lights and headlights the communication light in the taillights and headlights can contribute to increasing road safety. Both functions are made possible by second-generation digital OLED technology and digital daytime running lights.
As Head of Technical Development at Audi Sport, Steffen Bamberger is not only responsible for the current performance models. He has long had his eye on the electrification of the portfolio. A conversation about preserving, passing on and the sound of the future.
Only consumption and emission values according to WLTP and not according to NEDC are available for the vehicle.
1The specified fuel consumption and emission data have been determined according to the measurement procedures prescribed by law. Since 1st September 2017, certain new vehicles are already being type-approved according to the Worldwide Harmonized Light Vehicles Test Procedure (WLTP), a more realistic test procedure for measuring fuel consumption and CO2 emissions. Starting on September 1st 2018, the New European Driving Cycle (NEDC) will be replaced by the WLTP in stages. Owing to the more realistic test conditions, the fuel consumption and CO2 emissions measured according to the WLTP will, in many cases, be higher than those measured according to the NEDC. Therefore, the usage of CO2 emission values measured according to WLTP for vehicle taxation from 1st September 2018 on can cause changes in this regard as well. For further information on the differences between the WLTP and NEDC, please visit www.audi.de/wltp.
We are currently still required by law to state the NEDC figures. In the case of new vehicles which have been type-approved according to the WLTP, the NEDC figures are derived from the WLTP data. It is possible to specify the WLTP figures voluntarily in addition until such times as this is required by law. In cases where the NEDC figures are specified as value ranges, these do not refer to a particular individual vehicle and do not constitute part of the sales offering. They are intended exclusively as a means of comparison between different vehicle types. Additional equipment and accessories (e.g. add-on parts, different tyre formats, etc.) may change the relevant vehicle parameters, such as weight, rolling resistance and aerodynamics, and, in conjunction with weather and traffic conditions and individual driving style, may affect fuel consumption, electrical power consumption, CO2 emissions and the performance figures for the vehicle. Further information on official fuel consumption figures and the official specific CO₂ emissions of new passenger cars can be found in the guide “Information on the fuel consumption, CO₂ emissions and electricity consumption of new cars”, which is available free of charge at all sales dealerships and from DAT Deutsche Automobil Treuhand GmbH, Hellmuth-Hirth-Strasse 1, 73760 Ostfildern-Scharnhausen, Germany (www.dat.de).
