In  support of this goal, Audi this week signed an agreement with the  international consortium \u201cDesertec Industrial Initiative\u201d. The long-term  goal of the joint venture is the climate-friendly production of energy  in the deserts of North Africa and the Middle East. As an associated  partner, Audi will initially work to create the right conditions and to  establish the necessary infrastructure. \u201cWhen at Audi we speak of  sustainable mobility, we are looking at the entire energy balance\u201d, said  Rupert Stadler, Chairman of the Board of Management of AUDI AG. Audi is  looking to introduce its first small-series electric car to the market  as early as 2012. In doing so, Stadler said Audi will not only apply the  principles of sustainability to the production of the cars, but also to  ensure that customers can sustainably operate the cars. \u201cElectric cars  from Audi will run on sustainably produced electricity. To achieve this  goal we\u2019re supporting the development of solar- and wind-driven power  plants\u201d, Stadler said. By partnering with Desertec, Audi is  joining a unique industrial initiative. It is working to achieve a safe,  sustainable and climate-friendly energy supply from the deserts of  North Africa and the Middle East. The Desertec Industrial Initiative is  working to develop the right conditions for targeted investment in solar  and wind energy on the basis of careful analysis. Today the Desertec  Industrial Initiative is backed by 16 founding companies, the DESERTEC  Foundation and associated partners, who work to support the initiative\u2019s  objectives.
