SHANGHAI (dpa-AFX) - Audi wants to catch up in the electric car business in China, which has been sluggish so far. "We continue to see the Chinese market as positive," Audi CEO Markus Duesmann said Tuesday on the sidelines of the international auto show in Shanghai. Electric cars already accounted for 25 percent of sales in the Chinese car market recently. However, Audi still sells hardly any vehicles in this segment and has a small market share. According to Duesmann, Audi intends to significantly expand its vehicle range. Ten pure e-models are planned over the next three years, he said. "This will significantly improve our position," Duesmann said. Audi's ambition is to play a "very significant role" in the premium electric car segment, he added./jpt/DP/nas
