Gernot Döllner, presidente de Audi: “China nos está presionando. Confío en que Europa encuentre soluciones”

Gernot Döllner, the chairman of Audi's supervisory board, recently spoke about the pressures China is putting on the automotive industry and his confidence in Europe finding solutions. He announced that Audi is part of the larger Volkswagen group and must adapt to the changes. Döllner mentioned that Audi has been undergoing its most transformative period in history since he joined three years ago.

The Volkswagen group recently announced plans to cut 50,000 jobs until 2030, with an additional 50,000 cuts already announced since late 2024, and to halve its product portfolio. Audi will have to make its contribution to these changes, according to Döllner. The chairman has been working intensely on the next generation of electric vehicles, aiming to achieve cost parity with combustion engine vehicles, if not benefit parity.

This shift will change the rules of the automotive industry, making electric vehicles competitive worldwide.
