Mindful of responsibility.

The progressive engine philosophy applied at Volkswagen links dynamic driving pleasure with fuel economy and protection of the environment. For many years now, Volkswagen has been making an active contribution to the reduction of passenger car exhaust emissions with its research and development findings. The first direct-injection diesel engine is just one example of this. Only technology of the highest standard is good enough for Volkswagen. Both now and in the future. This is why all Volkswagen TDI models are equipped with engines which comply with the Euro 5 emissions standard due to come into force from September 2009.

And mindful of the future

Recently, Volkswagen unveiled a model that already satisfies the Euro 6 standard set to take effect in 2014: the Passat BlueTDI. Onboard, an innovative SCR (selective catalytic reduction) catalytic converter in conjunction with the AdBlue additive significantly reduces the nitrous oxides in the emissions – by simply converting them into nitrogen and water. Series production of the saloon version of the Passat will commence at the beginning of 2009. The model will have a 105 kW (143 hp) common rail TDI engine (fuel consumption: 5.2 l/100 km; CO2 emissions: 137 g/km)*.
* The fuel consumption and CO2 emissions of a vehicle do not just depend on the efficient utilisation of the fuel by the vehicle, but are also influenced by driving style and other non-technical factors. CO2 is the greenhouse gas that is primarily responsible for global warming. The values stated were calculated according to the measuring methods specified in the currently applicable version of Directive 80/1268/EEC. The data do not relate to a specific vehicle and are not part of the specification, but are merely for the purpose of comparing different vehicle types. Information on official fuel consumption figures and the official specific CO2 emissions of new passenger cars can be found in the EU guide “Information on the fuel consumption and CO2 emissions of new cars”, which is available free of charge at all sales dealerships and from DAT Deutsche Automobil Treuhand GmbH, Helmuth-Hirth-Straße 1, 73760 Ostfildern, Germany.
