In a strong performance for fiscal 2025 so far, Audi has reported a 41 % year-on-year rise in battery-electric vehicle (BEV) deliveries in the first nine months of the year, selling over 163,000 all-electric vehicles globally.
Despite the overall vehicle deliveries dipping by roughly 4.8 % due to supply-chain pressures and the planned phase-out of older combustion-engine models, Audi’s robust shift towards electrification and a cleaner business model helped it maintain strong momentum in its premium mobility segment.
Revenue for the period climbed to €48.4 billion, up 4.6 % year-on-year, driven primarily by the stronger mix of electric vehicles in its product portfolio. Concurrently, the company reaffirmed its full-year guidance: total revenue between €65 billion and €70 billion, an operating margin of 4-6 %, and net cash flow between €2.5 billion and €3.5 billion.
Audi’s strategic realignment, known internally as the “Vorsprung 2030” initiative, places a sharp focus on electrification, digitalisation and sustainability. The strategy involves simplifying the model lineup, reducing operational complexity and funneling resources into future-oriented technologies.
Region-wise, Audi recorded strong BEV growth in key markets: Europe (excluding Germany) saw a 43 % year-on-year increase, Germany itself delivered around 28,000 BEVs (up 70 %), and North America grew 54 % with almost 32,000 units sold. The Chinese market, however, stood out as a weak spot, showing a year-on-year decline of 17 % to about 13,000 BEVs amid tougher local competition.
Looking ahead, Audi plans to launch several new electric models built on the Premium Platform Electric (PPE) architecture while scaling up its charging infrastructure, battery technology and sustainable manufacturing efforts. With the ambition of becoming a fully electric brand by 2033 and achieving carbon neutrality by 2050, Audi is banking on its BEV surge to drive that transition.
