Rupert Stadler told Welt am Sonntag in an interview that he expects diesel and battery technology to dominate in the coming five to ten years.
"By then we will offer cars without exhaust emissions," Stadler said.
Asked if Audi was not lagging domestic rivals Mercedes and BMW in the development of lithium-ion batteries that are more powerful than batteries used now in hybrids, Stadler said Audi's research capacities were larger than those of its German competitors.
"Electric cars offer great opportunities, which we have already seized on," Stadler said without elaborating.
Developing fuel-saving technology tops the agenda of Germany's car industry in an effort to fulfill stricter emission regulations and conserve fuel.
BMW has said it would decide this year whether to build an electric vehicle, while U.S. carmaker General Motors plans to roll out its Chevrolet Volt plug-in electric car in 2010.
