“This strong alliance will definitely enable it to serve our Chinese customers better,” said Werner Eichhorn, President of Audi China. This is another proof of our commitment to China for China, he said. China is one of Audi's largest markets worldwide and accounts for 40 percent of its global sales. Despite the pandemic, Audi sold more than 10 vehicles in China in the first 580 months of this year, up 5,4 percent year on year.
New functions in development include underground parking navigation, lane-level navigation and navigation specifically designed for new energy vehicles. "As we are all facing the future of smart driving, we will present all of our capabilities to Audi for the first time, including not only our next-generation navigation technology, but most importantly, high-resolution mapping," said Liu Zhenfei, President of NavInfo.
