Nachhaltige Mobilität, das heißt vor allem: emissionsfrei und batterieelektrisch Fahren. Mit #ACCELERATE beschleunigen wir unsere weltweite E-Offensive. Aber der #WayToZero reicht weiter. So analysiert Volkswagen den kompletten Lebenszyklus der Fahrzeuge – von der Grundlagenforschung über die Entwicklung und Produktion bis hin zur Wiederverwertung nach Nutzungsende. Das Ziel: CO2 Emissionen und Umweltbelastungen Stück für Stück senken.

“Self-driving vehicles are becoming a means of public transport”

Prof. Andreas Knie is one of Germany’s most prominent transport experts. We meet up with him in Berlin, where he has been working at the Berlin Social Science Center (WZB) since 1988. We head to Potsdamer Platz together. During our conversation, he calls for traffic to be reduced in our towns and cities – to give pedestrians and cyclists more space.

5G for the fully networked factory of the future

Super fast, secure and extremely flexible: at the main plant in Wolfsburg, Volkswagen is testing 5G for future use in series production in automotive production. With a 5G campus network, many facilities and devices can be networked and controlled in new ways. What are the advantages? Two experts share details: Klaus-Dieter Tuchs works in corporate IT, and Sebastian Volk works in production for the Volkswagen Passenger Cars brand.

The specified fuel consumption and emission data have been determined according to the measurement procedures prescribed by law. Since 1st September 2017, certain new vehicles are already being type-approved according to the Worldwide Harmonized Light Vehicles Test Procedure (WLTP), a more realistic test procedure for measuring fuel consumption and CO2 emissions. Starting on September 1st 2018, the New European Driving Cycle (NEDC) will be replaced by the WLTP in stages. Owing to the more realistic test conditions, the fuel consumption and CO2 emissions measured according to the WLTP will, in many cases, be higher than those measured according to the NEDC. For further information on the differences between the WLTP and NEDC, please visit www.volkswagen.de/wltp.

We are currently still required by law to state the NEDC figures. In the case of new vehicles which have been type-approved according to the WLTP, the NEDC figures are derived from the WLTP data. It is possible to specify the WLTP figures voluntarily in addition until such time as this is required by law. In cases where the NEDC figures are specified as value ranges, these do not refer to a particular individual vehicle and do not constitute part of the sales offering. They are intended exclusively as a means of comparison between different vehicle types. Additional equipment and accessories (e.g. add-on parts, different tyre formats, etc.) may change the relevant vehicle parameters, such as weight, rolling resistance and aerodynamics, and, in conjunction with weather and traffic conditions and individual driving style, may affect fuel consumption, electrical power consumption, CO2 emissions and the performance figures for the vehicle.

Further information on official fuel consumption figures and the official specific CO2 emissions of new passenger cars can be found in the “Guide on the fuel economy, CO2 emissions and power consumption of new passenger car models”, which is available free of charge at all sales dealerships and from DAT Deutsche Automobil Treuhand GmbH, Hellmuth-Hirth-Str. 1, D-73760 Ostfildern, Germany and at www.dat.de.
