  • Story Text:Audi AG on Tuesday (April 18) gave a "sneak preview" of the Audi e-tron Sportback concept car, a fully-electric battery car that is expected to be unveiled at the Shanghai auto show, as other automakers' preparations were in full swing.
    Audi AG and its China joint-venture partner FAW Group said on Tuesday they will produce and sell five "e-tron" plug-in cars in China over the next five years, part of a global push to boost sales of all-electric battery and plug-in hybrid vehicles.
    As part of this agreement, the two companies recently began producing in China the first of the five planned cars, a plug-in hybrid version of the Audi A6L. The model is expected to hit the market later this year.
    The Shanghai auto show opens to the public on Friday (April 21).
