Audi Duo Hybrid Vehicles

30 years

Based on the Audi 100 Avant (C3), the first generation of the Audi Duo was created in autumn 1989 and unveiled for the first time at the Geneva Motor Show in March 1990. An Audi 100 Avant quattro with a five-cylinder fuel-injection engine and 100 kW/136 hp was provided with a 12.6 hp DC electric motor on the

rear axle, and thus demonstrated the feasibility of hybrid vehicles that can travel over short journeys without producing any emissions. A nickel-cadmium battery provided power for the electric drive.
