Audi & Volkswagen Feature Green Cars At World Economic Forum
It is harder than ever to pass through the checkpoints at the 40th World Economic Forum (WEF) being held in Davos, Switzerland, as only cars with a “Green Eco” sticker are allowed to pass.
To get the sticker, a vehicle may not consume more than nine liters of fuel per 100 kilometers (26.13 US mpg) nor emit more than 230 grams of CO2 per kilometer (370.15 g/mile). The Audi fleet satisfies these criteria and thus can drive into downtown Davos. Together, Audi and Volkswagen are providing more than 270 vehicles so that delegates can reach the World Economic Forum quickly and safely. With an average fuel consumption of 8.5 liters of diesel per 100 kilometers (27.67 US mpg) and CO2 emissions of 224 grams per kilometer (360.49 g/mile), the 86 Audi A8L 3.0 TDI sedans being used to provide comfortable chauffeur service for the more than 500 VIPs are a particular highlight.
Audi is also offering a varied program to visitors of the World Economic Forum. The new Audi A8 and Audi e-tron electric concept car are on display in the mobile Audi Terminal at Lake Davos. Both cars have come directly from the major North American auto shows in Detroit and Los Angeles, where Audi won not only the “Green Car of the Year” award for the Audi A3 TDI with clean diesel technology, but also the coveted “Award for Design Excellence” for the A8. Those not having time to visit the Audi Terminal can also experience the new A8 in the Audi tent in front of the Hotel Steigenberger Belvédère.
World Economic Forum participants can also test and improve their driving skills in extreme conditions next to the Audi Terminal. The instructors from the Audi driving experience are waiting on the layer of ice and snow covering Lake Davos with twelve Audi A5 3.2 FSI quattro models, all in an appropriate Ice Silver metallic paint finish. The chauffeur service for the guests in Davos is being provided with 86 Audi A8L 3.0 TDI sedans. Particularly high-ranking participants will arrive at the event site in one of twelve armored Audi A8L sedans. In addition, 80 Volkswagen Multivans and Caravelles are available.
Audi has provided an additional 70 vehicles to the Swiss police for the duration of the World Economic Forum. The police will deploy the 3.0 TDI quattro, 2.0 TDI quattro and 2.0 TFSI quattro versions of the Audi Q5. The organizers of this traditional event also have Audi vehicles at their disposal, including the Audi A6 Avant 2.7 and 3.0 TDI quattro.
More than 190 Audi vehicles have been provided for the event in Davos in total.
