Brussels plant kicks off production for the new Audi Q8 e-tron

Green Car Congress

Brussels is a model for some areas of this plant concept. Since production of the Audi e-tron began, the Belgium site has been recognized as the world’s first certified carbon-neutral high-volume production plant in the premium segment. AUDI AG has owned the Belgium site since 2007. 2018 saw the birth of the Audi e-tron.
