For 2023, Audi has introduced the Audi A6 E-Tron Concept as the first model to use the Premium Platform Electric platform.

The A6 E-Tron Concept is powered by two electric motors with 469 hp and 590 lb-ft (800 Nm) of torque. High-performance models will accelerate from 0-62 mph in less than 4 seconds and will have all-wheel drive. It is faster than the e-tron GT which takes 4.1 seconds to reach the same speed.

The available 100 kWh battery provides a range of up to 435 miles (700 kilometers). Thanks to the fast charger that allows charging up to 270 kW, 5 to 80 percent of the battery can be charged in just 25 minutes. A 10-minute battery charge provides a range of 187 miles (300 kilometers).

The concept was presented at the beginning of the year and is expected to go into production in 2023. Audi did not reveal all the details of the A6 E-Tron model. All we know is that it will use the Premium Platform Electric platform developed in partnership with Porsche. This platform will be used by all future Audi EV and Porsche models.

It is designed as a 4.96 meters long, 1.96 meters wide and 1.44 meters high sportback. The car will be equipped with Matrix LED lights, 22-inch tires, a new front grille that allows better cooling of the powertrain and brakes, a wide line with digital OLED elements, while the mirrors have been replaced by cameras.

Production should begin later next year and the starting price is expected to be around $ 76,000.

Alcohol and vehicles in the same sentence ?! Well, if you thought it was impossible the following story might change your mind.

At a time of green energy and concern for the environment, Scottish whiskey giant Glenfiddich has decided to use the waste from the production process as biofuel for its vehicles. So far, Scottish whiskey producers have been selling waste to farmers as cattle feed, but they have found a better solution for them in Glenfiddich.

“The thought process behind this was‘ what can we do that’s better for us all? ,” said Glenfiddich distillery director Stuart Watts.

With big sales (14 million bottles of whiskey a year), Glenfiddich decided to modify its delivery trucks to use biofuel. So far, fueling stations have been built that recycle waste products into Ultra-Low Carbon Fuel.

According to the company, using biofuels, their trucks produce 95 percent less CO2 and 99 percent less harmful particles compared to diesel engines.

By 2040, whiskey producers in Scotland intend to be CO2 neutral. So far, three biofuel trucks are in use in Glenfiddich, out of 20 delivery trucks at its disposal. Trucks are used to transport whiskey from Dufftown to the bottling and packaging plant.
