Powered By Lithium: Volkswagen Could Build Plug-in Hybrids In China ILC.v TNR.v LIT BYDDY KNDI
"Now Volkswagen joins Tesla Motors' Elon Musk with his dreams about the huge market share for Electric Cars in the largest auto market in the world in China. The largest number of the most populated and, unfortunately, most air polluted cities is situated in the same geographical place and Chinese government has announced the war on pollution. Electric Cars and China are destined for each other.
This move from the largest European automaker shows that risk of losing their proprietary technology can not stop automakers from entry in the most lucrative market. China is ready for it and is building Vertically Integrated Lithium Battery Business and waiting for the access to the best latest Electric Cars technology. Electric Cars are benefiting from government incentives only if they are produced in China. Daimler was one of the first to show the way with its Denza Electric Car - product of the J/V with BYD - Shenzhen BYD Daimler New Technology Company. Lithium Materials producers are keeping ear close to the ground in China and ramping up its production facilities already now."

"Audi and its Chinese joint-venture partner FAW have announced that they'll be building a production version of the Audi A6 E-Tron Concept, shown at the 2012 Beijing Motor Show. Based on the China-only long-wheelbase A6, the plug-in-hybrid model is being targeted specifically at the People's Republic.
Audi is promising a 50-kilometer (31-mile) electric range for the fuel-sipping sedan, although there are precious few details beyond that. We do know, though, that this will be a Chinese-built vehicle, with assembly slated for the FAW-Volkswagen joint-venture factory in Changchun. We presume we'll find out more when the Beijing Motor Show kicks off a few weeks from today.
"We are the market leader in China's premium segment and will continue systematically with the application of efficiency technologies. Audi is thus supporting the Chinese government's targets for the reduction of fuel consumption," said Dr. Dietmar Voggenreiter, the president of Audi China.
Take a look below for the full press release from Audi and FAW."
