Audi : These are the 4 new electric platforms

Audi, which soon wants to have a remarkable fleet of electric cars, will have four platforms for each category of models. By 2025 it will launch more than 30 electric models, representing 40% of sales.

E-Tron is the first major SUV model based on the MLB (modular longitudinal platform) and the Gran Turismo e-tron GT concept is based on the Porsche J1 Performance platform. The most compact electric Audi will be based on the known from the VW ID. 3 Platform MEB (modular electrification platform), while the large electric will use the new PPE platform (Premium platform Electric).

The MEB platform is intended for the future small and medium-sized Audi models. Because it is designed exclusively for electric vehicles, it will offer compact electric motors and ion-lithium batteries of different sizes and capacities. In March 2019 Audi presented the prototype Q4 e-tron, which will be an SUV of the same class as the Q3 (length 4.59 m and wheelbase 2.76 m).
