As modern diesel fuel economy is 30 percent higher than gasoline engines, a proportional reduction of greenhouse emissions is achieved with clean diesel technology. Future VW models will fundamentally also be constructed with hybrid concepts. Volkswagen promotes its work in developing ‘clean diesel’, and other fuel efficient technology, to increase worldwide sales to environmentally focused consumers worldwide. Volkswagen has been selling low sulphur diesel powered engines for the market since the beginning of year 2002. VW developed Turbocharged Direct Injection or abbreviated, TDi technology for diesel engines. One of the vehicles being promoted is the new 2009 clean-diesel Jetta TDI, which has a 16-valve, four-cylinder commonrail direct injection engine which reduces emissions by 90 percent. Volkswagen is also developing hybrid technology for diesel-electric cars with Volkswagen Golf turbo-diesel hybrid concept car. The diesel-electric hybrid vehicle has a fuel economy of 3.3 litres per 100 km at sea level.
Volkswagen implemented seven environmental goals in all aspects of technical development in 1996 with a plan that contained themes involving climate protection and resource conservation through objectives such as drastically reducing greenhouse emissions and fuel consumption and enabling the use of alternative fuels for engines in first and third world countries and avoiding the use of hazardous materials through the vehicle manufacturing process.
In April 2003, on its 15th anniversary, Volkswagen launched the first Brazilian commercial flexible fuel vehicle capable of running on any mix of E20-E25 gasoline and up to 100% hydrous ethanol fuel, (E100) in the local market the Golf 1.6 flex. After the neat ethanol models, consumer confidence on ethanol powered vehicles was restored thus allowing an adoption of the flex fueled vehicle technology which was facilitated by the fuel distribution infrastructure already in place throughout Brazil, with more than 30 thousand fueling stations set up countrywide. VW Brasil stopped manufacturing gasoline only vehicles models for the local market in 2006, and remaining gasoline engine sales comes from imports. By March 2009 Volkswagen Brasil had attained the milestone mark of two million flexible fuel vehicles produced since the year 2003.
VW intends all future models to have the hybrid option. Volkswagen have also develop a battery system for hybrid electric vehicles. Volkswagen has confirmed the company future plans to build compact hybrid electric vehicles for the world market place. There will be compact hybrid models produced such as Polo and Golf, and without delay with gasoline and diesel engines. The Golf is the ideal model to go hybrid as the Golf 1.4 TSi was recently awarded the ‘Automotive Environmental Certificate’, and was considered as one of the most environmentally friendly vehicles for 2006 and 2007.
