Companies are rethinking their vehicle fleets, moving beyond simple purchase prices to a broader strategic view. Factors like rising operational costs, efficiency demands, and ESG reporting requirements mean fleets are now integral to a company's overall strategy. The total cost of ownership (TCO), which includes not just leasing or purchase but also depreciation, maintenance, insurance, financing, and energy consumption, is a key consideration.
Businesses are increasingly seeking partners to manage their mobility needs for years to come. Audi's business offerings aim to meet this demand by providing more than just cars. Their program targets medium to large companies with 11 or more vehicles, offering tailored cooperation terms and support throughout the vehicle lifecycle.
Audi is emphasizing its plug-in hybrid models as a crucial solution for businesses navigating the shift towards electrification. These models allow for electric-only driving on shorter routes, while retaining the range of gasoline engines for longer business trips. Examples include the A3 Sportback TFSI e, Q3 e-hybrid, A5 e-hybrid, Q5 e-hybrid, and A6 e-hybrid. The A3 Sportback TFSI e, for instance, offers 272 horsepower and up to 128 km of electric range, combining performance with practicality for daily use.
For those seeking more functionality and a more prestigious image, Audi offers larger models like the Q3 e-hybrid. This compact SUV provides a higher driving position and easy entry, with the e-hybrid version boasting 272 horsepower and a 0-100 km/h acceleration in 6.8 seconds. These offerings reflect Audi's commitment to providing diverse solutions for the evolving needs of corporate fleets.
