Audi has a clear vision for the future: to dramatically reduce CO₂ emissions over the next decade in route to achieving net CO₂ neutrality by 2050. To get there, we’re reimagining the technology that powers our vehicles as well as how we build and deliver them. The Audi e-tron is produced in Brussels, Belgium. The Belgium plant has had carbon-neutral production since 2018 and is a pioneer for Audi’s strategic environmental program, Mission:Zero. By 2025, production at all Audi locations is to become carbon-neutral. With the launch of the Audi e-tron, we are doing our part towards a more progressive, sustainable smart Bangladesh. We are reducing our environmental footprint and moving towards clean Bangladesh for the future generations.

The Audi e-tron will be available in Bangladesh from Audi Bangladesh – Progress Motors Imports Limited (PMIL), the authorized representative of the Audi brand in Bangladesh. The vehicle will be sold through its dealership Audi Dhaka in Tejgaon starting at BDT 1.59 cr.
