Audi is pursuing a consistent strategy to achieve further reductions in fuel consumption and emissions. By the year 2012, Audi will have reduced the CO2 emissions from its models by around 20 percent and in doing so have enhanced considerably their sporty, sophisticated character even further.
At the heart of this strategy are technologies from the Modular Efficiency programme and the future-proof TDI engines with ultra low emission system. These are the world's cleanest diesel engines, combining agility and pulling power with excellent fuel consumption figures and unrivalled low emissions. A construction kit with hybrid modules for different vehicle models rounds off the efficiency strategy.
Hybrid systems may however still be interesting for specific requirements in certain markets. Audi is developing hybrid systems for several model series and will put these into series production wherever substantial benefits for the customer can be seen.
