What you see here is a heavily wrapped electric vehicle that Audi calls the Q6 e-tron. It’s being tested in northern Europe and is already close to its production guise. The upcoming EV, slated to debut later this year, will be available in standard and Sportback forms, as we’ve seen with the Q8 e-tron and the Q4 e-tron. However, the Q6 e-tron will be the first of several planned models spawned by PPE – Premium Platform Electric. It’s a new architecture that Audi has developed in collaboration with Porsche. And one of the many flexibilities it’ll offer is an 800-volt electrical architecture. Audi has also confirmed that by 2025, it’ll introduce over 20 new models, of which more than 10 will be electric. 

On March 12, 2023, India’s PHD Chamber of Commerce organised an EV car rally. And bagging the top three spots was Citroen’s latest offering in the country – the eC3. The French carmaker’s professional drivers Dilip Vadnagra and Pulkit Srivastava, Vanishree Pathak and Kashish Malhotra, Ashish Budhia and Shailendra Singh swept the first, second and third ranks in the pro category. The 100km event started at Cyber Hub, PHD House and ended at Heritage Transport Museum Gurugram, Haryana. A total of 35 EVs participated in this rally.
