With the German automaker finally taking an interest in the manufacture of electric cars, Audi also dips into the business of renewable energy production. According to reports, Audi installed a comprehensive array of solar panels at Ingolstandt where its main factory is situated. The solar panels will also be supplemented by as much as 14,000 megawatts worth of wind power in the coming years.
Recently, Audi also collaborated with Desertec Industrial Initiative. The two companies were behind the installation of several renewable energy sources in North Africa and the Middle East. The car manufacturer is also planning to build infrastructures in the same regions that will support clean energy. To date, Desertec has partnered with 16 corporations to focus all of their efforts on promoting wind and solar energy in the regions.
