Holistic electric mobility

The new Volkswagen concept Cityskater

The Volkswagen brand is taking the next steps in its holistic electronic mobility strategy. In addition to full electric models in the I.D. Family - I.D., I.D. BUZZ, I.D. CROZZ and I.D. VIZZION the brand is also committed to micromobility, another future area of sustainable urban mobility: 

Volkswagen will be giving an insight into this at Geneva Motor Show (public stage from 7 to 17 March) with two innovative concept cars for this new form of mobility: the cool compact Cityskater, a production-ready last mile surfer and scooter-like concept car, Streetmate. The Streetmate has a range of up to 35 km, which means it can easily cover relatively long distances and is therefore perfect for daily runs between home and workplace. The Cityskater offers a range of around 15 km; it fits into the boot and can easily be carried on the tube. Volkswagen covers the entire range of electric mobility – from the luxury class concept car I.D. VIZZION, the multivariable and iconic I.D. BUZZ, the spacious SUV I.D. CROZZ and the compact I.D., not to mention the Streetmate and Cityskater.

Networked mobility. The seamless networking of different vehicle types – and thus the use of compact micro mobility products in the style of the Streetmate and Cityskater – are creating exciting new opportunities for urban mobility. The use of mobile solutions such as Streetmate and Cityskater saves time. Visitors and residents in cities around the world will soon be able to leave their cars at home, at hotels, in parking garages, outdoor car parks and parking spaces, opting instead for smaller zero-emission vehicles such as the Streetmate and Cityskater to get around. Innovative vehicle concepts such as the Streetmate and Cityskater thus have the potential to bring about a permanent change in future mobility habits.

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.
