Throughout the many years of development, Audi engineers have carried out pioneering work that has played a key role in the advancement of hybrid technology up to full production maturity. This applies both to overall concept development and to more specialist areas, such as their work on sophisticated battery technology as well as on the highly advanced energy management system that is now at the heart of the Audi Q7 hybrid.
