Gunnar Kilian, Member of the Board of Management of Volkswagen AG with responsibility for Human Resources on the current development of the Covid 19 pandemic

Gunnar Kilian, Board Member for Human Resources at Volkswagen AG, says: “Unfortunately, we are currently seeing a decline in the perception of personal risk in society. But that must not happen. We must stop this negative development by all means and must not tire of continuing to uphold and apply the anti-corona measures, some of which are also unpopular. A safe working environment for our colleagues therefore continues to be a top priority for Volkswagen. After all, the risk of spreading the disease increases again at the beginning of fall.
At the same time, product demand is developing positively, so we are doing everything we can to avoid another shutdown. In particular, the corona test, being offered free of charge to our employees, has proven its worth in recent months and should continue to help us battle through infection chains quickly and successfully in the future.”

The specified fuel consumption and emission data are determined in accordance with the measurement procedures prescribed by law. 1 January 2022, the WLTP test cycle completely replaced the NEDC test cycle and therefore no NEDC values are available for new type approved vehicles after that date.

This information does not refer to a single vehicle and is not part of the offer but is only intended for comparison between different types of vehicles. Additional equipment and accessories (additional components, tyre formats, etc.) can alter relevant vehicle parameters such as weight, rolling resistance and aerodynamics, affecting the vehicle's fuel consumption, power consumption, CO2 emissions and driving performance values in addition to weather and traffic conditions and individual driving behavior.

Due to more realistic testing conditions, fuel consumption and CO2 emissions measured according to WLTP will in many cases be higher than the values measured according to NEDC. As a result, the taxation of vehicles may change accordingly as of 1 September 2018. For further information on the differences between WLTP and NEDC, please visit www.volkswagen.de/wltp.

Further information on official fuel consumption data and official specific CO2 emissions for new passenger cars can be found in the "Guide to fuel economy, CO2 emissions and power consumption for new passenger car models", which is available free of charge from all sales dealerships and from DAT Deutsche Automobil Treuhand GmbH, Hellmuth-Hirth-Str. 1, D-73760 Ostfildern, Germany and at www.dat.de/co2.
