German luxury car maker Audi has announced that it will start production of a second model of electric car at its plant in Forest.
Starting next year, the Brussels plant will already produce an SUV called e-tron. The same factory will start production before 2019 of the e-tron Sportback, a fully electric-powered sports coupe.
This second model will have a driving range of more than 500 kilometres and will go from 0 to 100 kilometres in 4.5 seconds.
“We are pleased that we have succeeded in getting a second model to Brussels and thus ensuring long-term employment security in Belgium,” said Patrick Danau, general director of technology and logistics at Audi Brussels.
The plant employs about 3000 people who are currently constructing the Audio A1. More A1 orders are also expected for the plant later this year and next year.
