There’s an electric atmosphere on the roads of Munich. The German city will play host to Audi’s A1 e-tron project, which will see 20 of the range-extender petrol-electric superminis hit the road by the middle of next year.

Audi’s 20 A1 e-trons will feature an electric motor which develops 101bhp, can power the car up to speeds of 81mph and has an all-electric range of around 30 miles. When the lithium-ion batteries run flat, a boot-mounted Wankel rotary petrol engine kicks in to recharge the cells, giving a total range of 155 miles. Audi claims this equates to fuel consumption of 123.8mpg and carbon dioxide emissions of just 45g/km.

The trial will be run as an expansive partnership comprising Audi, electric provider E.ON, the Munich municipal utility company Stadtwerke München and the Technical University of Munich.
