[size size=150]Volkswagen nuevo motor 1.0 TSI[/size] Dejo el enlace
2 julio, 2014 a las 20:59– En el VW Polo dispondrá de 95 y 110cv, y 160 Nm y 200Nm de par respectivamente
– En el VW Golf dispondrá de 115cv y 200NmSupongo que luego irá parando por los demás hermanos de marca.
Y, aunque no apuesto nada😀 , seguro que una versión de 90 o 95cv termina en el vano del Golf jeje. Con peso bajo y esa potencia, no me parece inframotorizado21 octubre, 2014 a las 10:35Vaticano for rent: El Papa alquila la Capilla Sixtina a Porsche para su fiesta corporativa. El Papa Francisco ha autorizado que la empresa Porsche organice su fiesta corporativa en la famosa Capilla Sixtina del Vaticano, informa ‘The Telegraph’. Durante el evento tendrá lugar un concierto benéfico, cuyo beneficios irían supuestamente destinados a personas sin techo.
La fiesta, que tendrá lugar en medio del esplendor de los frescos de Miguel Ángel, contará además con la presencia de un selecto grupo de unos 40 turistas VIP.
El Vaticano no anunció cuánto va a ganar por ceder a Porsche la Capilla Sixtina, si bien se ha sabido que la gira de cinco días por Roma, organizada por el Porsche Travel Club y anunciada en su web, tiene un coste de 5.000 euros por cabeza, lo que permitirá a la empresa automovilística recaudar unos 200.000 euros.
Por su parte, el concierto será interpretado por un coro de la Accademia di Santa Cecilia de Roma, que remonta sus orígenes al siglo XVI. “Es un evento único y una oportunidad única en-la-vida”, señaló un portavoz de Porsche Travel Club. “Será el punto culminante del viaje”, añadió.
Poco después de ser elegido Papa en marzo del año pasado, Francisco I pidió una “Iglesia pobre para los pobres”. Dijo entonces estar dispuesto a destinar los incomparables tesoros del patrimonio cultural del Vaticano para el beneficio de los más necesitados. Lo que no aclaró fue la forma en que lo haría. Hoy al fin se ha sabido.
“Esta iniciativa está dirigida a grandes empresas que, mediante el pago de una cuota, pueden contribuir a las pretensiones caritativas del Papa”, señaló por su parte monseñor Paolo Nicolini, director administrativo de los Museos del Vaticano.
Se trata de la primera vez que la Capilla Sixtina del Vaticano, construida entre 1473 y 1484 bajo el Papado ed Sixto IV, será alquilada a una empresa para un evento comercial. El Vaticano no ha aclarado si tiene previsto establecer a corto plazo acuerdos similares con otras multinacionales.
Sin embargo este acuerdo de ocupación comercial, fuentes vaticanas han expresado en los últimos meses su procupación ante el elevado número de visitantes que registra la Capilla Sixtina, lo que, según advertían, suponía un serio riesgo para su incalculable patrimonio artístico. Tal vez la alternativa del Papa Bergoglio sea la de reemplazar a los turistas por ejecutivos de alto standing.
La capilla ha sido equipada con nuevos sistemas de iluminación y climatización, que están diseñados para reducir el daño a los frescos más delicados.
11 noviembre, 2014 a las 18:14Volkswagen presenta, entre otras cosas, una caja DSG de 10 velocidades, un motor 2.0 TDi biturbo y nuevo hardware y softwareVolkswagen ha desvelado en una presentación técnica en Wolfsburgo una nueva versión del 4 cilindros 2.0 TDI que sube hasta los 270 CV. Se trata de una evolución del actual motor tipo EA288 y que conforma una parte importante de la gama del fabricante alemán.
El nuevo motor será clave, según Volkswagen, para poder cumplir con las normas de emisiones de CO2 al horizonte 2020. Con respecto al actual TDI 240 CV que podemos ver en la gama de Volkswagen, esta evolución representa una mejora del 14 % en potencia y en consumo.
Algunas de los elementos destacables de los que dispone este motor son: un turbo eléctrico de dos etapas, una válvula piezoeléctrico para la inyección por conducto común que funciona hasta presiones de 2.500 bares y una nueva distribución variable.
Este nuevo motor eroga casi 10 CV más que el actual V6 3.0 TDI que equipa el Touareg actualmente. Volkswagen no ha desvelado el par máximo, sin embargo se rumorea que rondaría los 500 Nm.
Además del nuevo motor, Volkswagen presentó una nueva caja de cambios DSG de 10 velocidades. Al igual que los nuevos motores del grupo, este cambio formará parte de la arsenal de Volkswagen para reducir la media de emisiones de CO2 de su gama.
Este cambio tipo DQ511 es capaz de transmitir un par motor máximo de 550 Nm y puede asociarse a una amplia gama de motores del grupo VAG, incluido el nuevo 2.0 TDI de 270 CV. Una de las funciones asociadas a este nuevo cambio es la de apagar el motor cuanto levantamos el pie del acelerador y dejar el coche ir en rueda libre hasta que pisemos de nuevo el acelerador o toquemos el freno. Además, cuenta con un nuevo sistema de recuperación de energía cinética de la frenada.

18. Easy Close – the Passat Estate now closes automatically.– Today, the hunt for every gram of CO2, every drop of fuel, every kilowatt of power that can be saved is one of the key challenges faced by the automotive industry. The objective is to drive into the future more sustainably than ever. Volkswagen AG has set the goal of becoming the world’s most sustainable carmaker by the year 2018. Compared to baseline figures for 2010, the Group wants to reduce energy and water consumption, waste generation and emissions (including CO2 emissions) by 25 per cent in all of its business areas. The company is applying all of its innovative carmaking know-how to achieve this sustainability gain within the four years remaining until 2018.
–
CO2 reduction. In its products, Volkswagen – the highest volume brand of the Group – is counting on electric mobility (zero-emission and plug-in hybrid models), on continually more fuel-efficient combustion engines and gearboxes, progressive lightweight design, pioneering aerodynamics and efficiency in every conceivable area. Volkswagen is now presenting to the international media, in the framework of an Innovation Workshop, its latest technologies for reducing fuel consumption and CO2 emissions – which include the world’s first 10-speed dual-clutch gearbox (DSG) – at the Ehra-Lessien test track facility near Wolfsburg. –
Networking. Along with the drive systems, automotive infotainment systems are also changing faster than ever, because the vehicle and the Internet are growing and merging together. In this context, Matthias Wissmann, President of the German Association of Automobile Manufacturers (Verband der Automobilindustrie, VDA), speaks of a «revolution in the car». And in fact today’s hardware and software enable numerous online services and bring, step by step, the apps of smart phones into the vehicle. But that too poses a challenge. Because the new possibilities must be meaningfully and safely integrated into the world of mobility. Europe’s largest carmaker is implementing precisely this in its new infotainment systems and software solutions, which still remain intuitive despite their wide variety of functional content. At Ehra-Lessien, Volkswagen is also presenting the latest apps for networking the vehicle with the online world and other interactive convenience systems – including the first self-learning navigation system. CO2 reduction–
Think Blue. Engineering. The great potential of the Volkswagen sustainability strategy «Think Blue. Engineering.» is reflected in the latest innovations with which the company is further reducing fuel consumption and CO2 emissions. Background: the «Technical Development (TE)» department at Volkswagen addresses sustainability issues early on in the context of product development. In pursuing this strategy, «Technical Development» is making a significant contribution towards climate protection, resource preservation and health. It has set the goal of reducing waste materials, emissions, water usage and CO2 emissions by 25 per cent (compared to 2010 figures) by 2018. Based on «Think Blue. Engineering.» each new product should also be developed to embody exhibit environmental properties – over its entire product life cycle – which are better than in the previous model. –
Mild hybrid – stop-start 2.0 and coasting with engine off. The start-stop 2.0 system does not just deactivate the engine when the car is stationary at a red light; rather it already deactivates the engine at speeds below 7 km/h. In coasting with engine off (special coasting function), the engine is also shut off at higher speeds as soon as the driver releases the accelerator pedal. This can significantly improve fuel economy when the driver adopts an anticipatory style of driving. In addition, mild hybrid systems developed by Volkswagen enable energy recovery in braking phases; productive use of this energy results in further fuel economy benefits. The engine is always restarted extremely comfortably. This makes saving fun. –
High-performance engines. New high-tech engines such as the 240-PS bi-turbo diesel (176 kW) of the recently revealed Passat also make saving a pleasure. With a power density of 120 PS per litre displacement, it is the most powerful of any four-cylinder TDI that has ever been put into production. The fuel consumption of the saloon – which has a top speed of 240 km/h – is a low 5.3 l/100 km. An intelligent advanced development of this TDI might take the following form: the power of the two-litre engine could be increased to 200 kW / 272 PS by the use of a variable valve train, further optimised gas exchange cycles and what is known as an electric booster. –
10-speed DSG: Since the first Volkswagen dual-clutch gearbox was introduced (2003), the DSG has developed into an international success. The reasons are obvious: no other automatic shifts faster, and no other automatic operates more fuel-efficiently. Now Volkswagen is presenting a newly developed 10-speed DSG for engines with up to 550 Nm of torque. The highly efficient layout of its gear steps contributes towards further lowering of CO2 emissions. Progressive detailed solutions. It is the sum of progress made in all disciplines that advances Volkswagen closer to its goals for 2018 – item by item. Consider the area of lightweight design: Here, the company has just adapted a sandwich construction method – two steel cover layers and a middle polymer-thermoplastic layer – from low-volume to high-volume production. The «technology donor» in this case is the street version of the Polo R WRC (in 2014, Volkswagen won the rally world championship for the second consecutive time with the racing version of this car). New systems such as the extremely thin oxide film that is vapour deposited on the low-E glass sunroof, making it infrared-reflecting, a dashboard that also reflects infrared light (both developments reduce the cooling load of the air conditioner), a range manager for electric vehicles (for optimal use of the energy stored in the battery) and need-based and extremely efficient air conditioning (also for zero-emission models such as the e-up! and e-Golf) are equally important in ensuring that fuel consumption and CO2 emissions are further reduced. Networking–
Integration of consumer electronics. In parallel to the theme of sustainability, Volkswagen is also driving the integration of maximum interactivity in all vehicle classes, which achieves a new dimension in comfort and convenience. In the process, the car is becoming increasingly better networked with the communication world of consumer electronics. That is because more apps and online services than ever can now be used via the modular infotainment system (MIB) and Volkswagen Car-Net. The new hardware and software will change everyday life in the automobile fundamentally. –
Apps and vehicle are merging. The applications of Volkswagen Car-Net are generating gains in safety, comfort and convenience. Take the functions of «Security & Service», which let users view vehicle data over the internet. Users might use them to check fuel and washer fluid levels before heading out on a trip, for instance. –
Apple und Android in the Volkswagen. After the initial use of MirrorLink™ in the Polo and Passat, Volkswagen continues to further develop the integration of smart phones. Volkswagen is combining interfaces to a wide variety of operating systems of mobile phones, and thus also to the MirrorLink™ apps, under «App Connect», because soon it will be possible to link nearly all smart phones to the infotainment system via «Apple CarPlay» and «Android Auto». –
Media Control. The «Media Control» system that was introduced in the new Passat links tablets of all types into the matrix of infotainment systems for the first time. Rear passengers, in particular, can conveniently use their tablets to operate all key entertainment functions (radio and media), surf the Internet, view movies or send an address book entry to the infotainment system as a destination for navigation. It is also easy to find addresses by Google search and integrate them into navigation. Volkswagen is showing how future networking of tablet and car might look in a concept vehicle. Here, videos can be played back in parallel on all tablets in the vehicle – regardless of their physical source. Not only can the sound be reproduced on headphones, but also lip-synchronous over the vehicle loudspeakers. As mentioned, any device connected to the WiFi network of the Volkswagen can serve as a source, because the memory location of the media no longer plays a role in the selection process. –
Interactive systems. At Ehra-Lessien, Volkswagen is showing, for the first time, a prototype of a predictive, i.e. self-programming, navigation system. It «takes note» of the routes that the driver prefers without having to activate navigation first. Typical routes, such as the commute to work, are then automatically scanned – for traffic problems, for instance – without the driver having to start the navigation process. In addition, the system integrates information about the route most likely to be driven into the operating and charging strategy of a plug-in hybrid drive. Another example of the car that «thinks with the driver» is the «Easy Close» function introduced with the new Passat Estate. Here, the boot lid closes as soon as the person with the Passat key moves away from it; the car is also automatically locked. –
Perfect settings automatically. Innovative progress has also been made in the area of personalisation. From now on, it will be possible to further customise the personalised settings in a vehicle. These settings will be stored in user accounts for individual drivers. When the car is opened, they are automatically activated individually for the specific driver, and they are clearly displayed. This eliminates the need to repeatedly readjust the seat, mirrors, radio stations and driver assistance systems. Over the long term, it will even be possible to port these settings to another Volkswagen. This is portable progress on the go.

Para completar la gama SUV, Audi necesita esos 2 nombres, pero resulta que FCA los usa en Maserati (antes en Alfa) para designar el tipo de tracción de sus coches, lo que crea un problema. Los italoamericanos no quieren desprenderse de esa nomenclatura, o no tan facilmente.Supongo que por eso apareció el concept del TT en versión SUV, que iria destinado al segmento del hipotetico Q4, ero como ahora mismo no puede usar esa nomenclatura…
10 marzo, 2015 a las 22:27[size size=150]Volkswagen fabricará el Tiguan 7 plazas en Puebla, Mexico[/size] VOLKSWAGEN DE MÉXICO TO PRODUCE THE NEW THREE-ROW TIGUAN IN ITS PUEBLA ASSEMBLY PLANT[i]– Investment of $1 billion at Puebla plant
– US-CEO Michael Horn: Localization key to safeguard our competitive position
– Start of production end of 2016[/i] Puebla/Herndon, March 9, 2015
– Volkswagen de México announced today that a three-row version of the Tiguan will be produced at its plant in Puebla, Mexico. The car will be launched to the markets in 2017. The company will invest $1 billion for the expansion and modernization of its production facilities at the Puebla plant, as well as tooling to produce auto parts at suppliers. Volkswagen de México’s strategy of technological upgrading, which started with the production of the new Golf on the Modular Transverse Matrix (MQB) platform, goes to the next step with the new Tiguan. “Localization has become key to safeguarding our competitive position on the global market and manufacturing the Tiguan in Mexico will bring production closer to the U.S.-market,” said Michael Horn, president and CEO of Volkswagen Group of America. “It is another proof point that Volkswagen is committed to further growth in the U.S. and North American markets. With production of the Golf A7 and the Tiguan now moved to Puebla, we will build approximately 90 percent of our products in the NAFTA region.»
Volkswagen specified that the production capacity for this longer Tiguan will be 500 units per day. This model will be supplied to North and South America, as well as other world markets (excluding the European Union and China).
For production of this compact SUV, new lines will be installed at the Puebla plant. The new body shop will include a high level of automation with advanced programming and control systems. All told, the new buildings will add 90,000 square meters to Volkswagen de México’s Puebla facilities.
The project will add around $1 billion annually to Volkswagen’s auto parts purchasing volume in Mexico. This will create a significant impact on local economics and employment. At Volkswagen de Mexico alone, Tiguan production will employ about 2,000 people.

Audi extends its lead with high-resolution Matrix Laser technology– Matrix Laser technology lights the road optimally
– Enables new types of light assistance functions
– Audi collaborates with specialist partners on the sponsored iLaS projectAudi is further extending its lead in automotive lighting technology. In the sponsored project “intelligent laser light for compact and high-resolution adaptive headlights” (iLaS), the brand with the four rings is working on the headlights of the future with partners from industry and science. Matrix Laser technology and its high resolution will make roadway illumination even more flexible and highly versatile – in all situations.
Matrix Laser technology is based on the LaserSpot for high?beam lamps, which Audi first introduced to production in the Audi R8 LMX*. For the first time, bright lasers are making it possible to integrate projector technology in a compact and powerful headlight.
The new technology operates with a rapidly moving micro-mirror, which redirects the laser beam. At low vehicle speeds, the light is distributed to a larger projection area, and the road is illuminated with a very wide range. At high speeds, the aperture angle is smaller, and the intensity and range of the light are increased significantly. This is especially advantageous in highway driving. In addition, the light can be distributed precisely. This means that the brightness of different lighting zones can be varied by controlling the illumination dwell times in the specific zones.
Also new is intelligent and lightning-fast activation and deactivation of the laser diodes in relation to the mirror position. This makes the broadening or narrowing of the luminous beam dynamic and highly variable. As with today’s Matrix LED headlights from Audi, the road is always brightly lit without causing glare to other participants in traffic. The crucial difference is that Matrix Laser technology offers even finer dynamic resolution and therefore a higher degree of utilization, which leads to greater safety in road traffic.
In the new technology, blue laser diodes from OSRAM radiate their light, which has a wavelength of 450 nanometers, onto a quickly moving mirror that is three millimeters in size. This mirror redirects the blue laser light to a converter, which converts it to white light and projects it onto the road. The mirror used for this, which comes from the Bosch company, is a micro-optical system that features electro-mechanical control and is based on silicon technology. It is very sturdy and exhibits very long life. Such components are also used for accelerometers and control units for electronic stability control.
For many years now, Audi has been the leader in automotive lighting technology. Some of the brand’s key innovations:
2003: Audi A8* with adaptive light
2004: Audi A8 W12* with LED daytime running lights
2008: Audi R8* with all?LED headlights
2010: Audi A8 in which the headlights are networked with the navigation data
2012: Audi R8 with dynamic turn signal lights
2013: Audi A8 with Matrix LED headlights
2014: Audi R8 LMX with LaserSpot for the high?beam lamps
In the framework of the three-year “iLaS” project, Audi is working closely with its partners Bosch, Osram and the Lichttechnischen Institut (LTI; “Lighting Technology Institute”) of the Karlsruhe Institute for Technology (KIT). The project is sponsored by the German Federal Ministry for Education and Research.

Nota de prensa, en inglés
Audi at the 36th Vienna Motor Symposium– Three Audi presentations on innovations in drive technology
– Focus on e-tron drive and world premiere of the new 2.0 TFSI
– Prof. Dr. Ulrich Hackenberg: “Excellent forum for Audi”Audi is presenting pioneering drive technologies at the 36th Vienna Motor Symposium, which takes place on May 7 and 8, 2015. The focus is on two topics – the new 2.0 TFSI as the most efficient two-liter gasoline engine in its class, and plug-in hybrid drive in the Audi Q7 e-tron 3.0 TDI quattro.
Three high-ranking Audi developers will be presenting drive technology innovations at the specialist meeting in Vienna’s Hofburg Congress Center. Dr. Rainer Wurms, Head of Gasoline Engines Pre-Development, will be presenting the new Audi 2.0 TFSI at its world premiere on Thursday, May 7. The new engine generation uses an innovative combustion principle that makes it especially efficient in real-life operating conditions. Roman Straßer, Head of E-Modules, will be explaining the drivetrain of the Audi Q7 e-tron 3.0 TDI quattro on Friday, May 8. On the same day Prof. Dr. Ulrich Hackenberg, member of the Board of Management for Technical Development at AUDI AG, will give a talk entitled “Audi at Le Mans – The Success Story of the TDI”. Audi will be showing innovative production models as well as engine and drive exhibits on a display area.
“The Vienna Motor Symposium is an excellent forum for Audi as a leading technology brand,” explained Prof. Dr. Ulrich Hackenberg, Member of the Board of Management for Technical Development. “Specifically in the drive area we have been taking pioneering solutions into production for many years now – first the TDI, then the TFSI, and latterly our electrified concepts. The specialist congress in Vienna gives us the opportunity to present them to international experts.”
“We are keeping up a tradition in appearing at the Vienna Motor Symposium,” remarked Dr. Stefan Knirsch, Head of Powertrain Development. “We have been presenting our new drive technologies here regularly since 2009. One highlight was the four-cylinder TFSI with gasoline direct injection and turbocharging, which went on to become a successful engine worldwide following its introduction in 2007. The innovations that we are now showcasing in Vienna will add to this success story.”

World premiere at the Vienna Motor Symposium: new high-efficiency engine from Audi– New 2.0 TFSI four-cylinder engine with innovative combustion method
– Top figures: 190 hp, 320 Nm (236.0 lb-ft), less than 5 l/100 km (47.0 US mpg)
– To be implemented in the new Audi A4 by the end of 2015
– Prof. Dr. Ulrich Hackenberg: “A prime example of the Audi rightsizing strategy”Audi presents the most efficient two-liter gasoline engine in its class. The new 2.0 TFSI with 140 kW (190 hp) demonstrates the engine expertise of the brand – with a ground-breaking new combustion method. Audi will be using the engine for the first time in the next generation of the A4.
Over ten years ago, Audi was the first manufacturer worldwide to bring the TFSI engine with turbocharging and direct injection into series production. This made the brand with the four rings the trendsetter in downsizing and downspeeding. “We’re now taking a crucial step further with rightsizing,” said Prof. Dr. Ulrich Hackenberg, Member of the Board of Management for Technical Development at AUDI AG. The reduction in displacement and engine speed can be optimally effective only if reasonably related to the vehicle class and the customers’ everyday use, explains the Technical Director. “Rightsizing thus involves the optimal interplay of vehicle class, displacement, output, torque and efficiency characteristics under everyday conditions. Our new 2.0 TFSI is a prime example of Vorsprung durch Technik.”
The four-cylinder engine draws 140 kW (190 hp) of power and 320 Nm (236.0 lb-ft) of torque from a displacement of 1,984 cc. Because the high torque is applied in a wide speed range of 1,450 to 4,400 rpm, every customer will benefit from the constantly accessible, high pulling power of the engine. The engine also boasts of groundbreaking low fuel consumption levels. With consumption levels less than 5.0 l/100 km (47.0 US mpg) in the NEDC, the four-cylinder engine clearly undercuts its predecessor and comparable competitors.
Technology in detail:
The breakthrough of the 2.0 TFSI lies in a new combustion method. At its core its principle is comparable to the Miller cycle. Audi engineers have further developed that method in crucial ways, however. The increase in efficiency is based on the following factors:– The intake time has been significantly shortened (140° crank angle (CA) rather than 190 to 200° CA).
– Owing to a higher boost pressure on the inlet side, the engine attains optimal cylinder charges despite the shorter intake time.
– The intake valve also closes earlier – well before the bottom dead center is reached. This lowers the medium pressure, allowing a high, efficiency-boosting compression ratio.
– In the partial load range, an additional injection upstream from the intake valve yields an efficient mixture formation that is already complemented by the direct injection in the intake manifold and in the combustion chamber.
– The Audi Valvelift System (AVS) on the inlet side allows a short intake time at partial load and a longer time at higher loads (full load: 170° CA).Dr. Stefan Knirsch, Head of Engine Development at Audi, sums up the benefits of the new engine: “Thanks to this rightsizing approach, the new engine enjoys the consumption benefits of a downsizing engine in partial load operation, while at higher loads it has the advantages of a large-displacement engine. The result is optimal efficiency and performance characteristics across the entire engine speed range.”
Beyond the new combustion method, the new engine, with a weight of only about 140 kg (308.6 lb), avails itself of other efficiency technologies. For example, the coolant flow is controlled so as to greatly shorten the engine warm-up time. Contributing to this benefit is also the exhaust manifold, integrated in the cylinder head. The consistent reduction of friction as well as the use of low-friction engine oil (0W-20) also increases efficiency.
The comprehensive package of high-tech solutions makes the new 2.0 TFSI a real high-efficiency engine that sets a new benchmark in its segment. Audi will be introducing the new generation of engines first in the new Audi A4, and then in other model series.

Volkswagen at the 36th International Vienna Motor Symposium
[i]Dr. Heinz-Jakob Neußer: «The car of the future will continue to fascinate people»[/i] – CO2 reduction, electromobility and digitalisation are the greatest challenges facing the automotive industry
– The future of the internal combustion engine will be characterised by high rpm diesel and high-performance three-cylinder TSI engines
– Laser roughening – innovative coating process in large-scale production
– New 6.0 W12 TSI with 447 kW (608 PS) – performance and refinement
– New generation of EU6 TDI engines for light-duty vehiclesDr. Heinz-Jakob Neußer, Member of the Board of Management for the Volkswagen brand with responsibility for Development and Volkswagen Group Head of Powertrain Development, concluded this year’s International Vienna Motor Symposium by providing an outlook of the future of mobility and innovative technologies. The biggest challenges facing the industry are reducing CO2 emissions, electromobility and digitalisation.
At the symposium, Friedrich Eichler, Head of Powertrain Development for the Volkswagen brand, also presented the new 6.0 W12 TSI. The new EU6 TDI engine family for light-duty vehicles was presented by Jörn Kahrstedt, Head of Diesel Engine Development for the Volkswagen brand.
In his concluding presentation, Dr. Neußer stated that the industry had changed more rapidly and more extensively in the last few years than in the preceding decades. However, environmentally friendly mobility remains the key topic for the automotive industry. «Climate protection is an integral part of our responsibility towards people and society. Moreover, customers demand models with reduced consumption and lower emissions and politics also makes high demands on the automotive industry», Dr. Neußer continued.
The wide range of powertrains within the Volkswagen Group – ranging from petrol and diesel engines to natural gas vehicles, plug-in hybrids, purely electric cars and potentially even fuel cell cars – shows the Group’s enormous innovative strength. The Management Board Member in charge of development emphasised that: «The optimisation of the internal combustion engine is still an important field of innovation. High-efficiency TDI and TSI/TFSI engines – ideally in combination with DSG – will remain indispensable for the foreseeable future. The reduction of CO2 emissions from internal combustion engines is pure high-tech nowadays. Examples of this are our high rpm diesel as well as the high-performance three-cylinder TSI engine.»
Dr. Neußer highlighted the fact that the high rpm diesel points the way to the future of the internal combustion engine in many respects. With high-efficiency combustion methods, innovative thermal management, maximal charging thanks to e-boosters as well as new materials and coatings, these state-of-the-art TDI engines are already capable of achieving a power output of well over 100 kW per litre of displacement.
In the field of petrol engines, Dr. Neußer offered a glance at the high-performance three-cylinder TSI based on the EA211 engine. With the genes of the Polo WRC’s rally engine, this power unit is capable of generating 272 PS and 270 Nm of torque from just one litre of displacement thanks to a monoscroll turbocharger and e-booster. «A nice example of just how much potential combustion engines still have in them», according to Dr. Neußer.
Dr. Neußer also gave a peek at «laser roughening». This coating technique, which the Volkswagen Group will use in large-scale production in future, contributes significantly to reducing friction in the engine and to boosting performance. Dr. Neußer pointed out that this is an important innovation in manufacturing technology, since laser roughening not only reduces tool wear to zero, but also achieves consistent results and can be used for all materials.
Dr. Neußer sees digitalisation as the greatest challenge, because infotainment, assistance systems and networking have come to be at least as important to many customers as the engine performance. «The Golf R Touch concept car has everything on board that characterises the cockpit of the future: full connectivity thanks to the integration of apps, smartphones, tablets and smart watches, as well as large touchscreens and, last but not least, gesture control, which opens the sunroof at a wave of the hand. Over and above this, we are also pushing the envelope when it comes to automatic or piloted driving and are working on new business models and a range of digital services relating to our cars. So I am sure that the car of the future will continue to fascinate people just as much as it ever has.»
A few hours earlier, Volkswagen had already presented its latest generations of engines at the International Vienna Motor Symposium, which is held annually by the Austrian Society of Automotive Engineers (ÖVK), chaired by professor H.P. Lenz from the Vienna University of Technology: the new W12 TSI, as one of the most demanding premium engines in the world as well as the new 2.0 litre TDI EU6 diesel engine for light-duty vehicles. The talk about the new twelve-cylinder engine was given by Friedrich Eichler, Head of Powertrain Development for the Volkswagen brand, while the new family of diesel engines was presented by Jörn Kahrstedt, Head of Diesel Engine Development for the Volkswagen brand.
The new 6.0 litre W12TSI for the Volkswagen Group’s premium modelsBased on the W12 concept, the Volkswagen Group has deployed top-of-the-range engines that have demonstrated their perfection in terms of performance and comfort in the premium models made by the Volkswagen, Audi and Bentley brands in an impressive manner for some 13 years now. The next generation W12 TSI presented at this year’s Motor Symposium makes the Volkswagen Group’s cutting edge engine one of the most fascinating power units with the highest technology density in the world.
For example, as part of the improvements and new developments, two combustion methods that have to date been used in parallel – Audi’s FSI direct injection and Bentley’s TMPI multi-point injection – were combined, together with other new or optimised systems and components, to form the successful TSI process. The scope of development also included cylinder bores with APS coating, an oil circuit suitable for off-road use with a switchable oil pump, a cooling system with integrated temperature management, dual fuel injection with high pressure direct and low pressure manifold injection, twin-scroll biturbo charging, individual cylinder bank deactivation (on the left in the direction of travel), engine management with two controllers as well as a start/stop system that reduces fuel consumption and emissions. Adaptive engine suspension with hydraulic basic damping, which uses electromagnetic actuators to counteract vibrations induced by the engine with phase-shifted counter-vibrations, contributes to the premium-quality driving comfort.
The technological elements used make the new W12 TSI the most economical twelve-cylinder engine in the luxury car segment. CO2 emissions of less than 250 g/km in the New European Driving Cycle (NEDC) – at a power of 447 kW/608 PS (6,000 rpm) and a maximum torque of 900 Nm (1,500 – 4,500 rpm) – demonstrate impressively how efficiency and performance of the highest standard are combined in this engine. Depending on the vehicle model, the 6.0 l twelve-cylinder engine delivers acceleration values of 0 to 100 km/h in less than four seconds and top speeds of over 300 km/h.
The new 2.0 litre TDI diesel engine for light-duty vehiclesThe newly developed 2.0 TDI 4V engine, based on the modular diesel component system (MDB), makes its debut with the market launch of the new Multivan and Transporter models from Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles. The new family of engines is tailored to the requirements of commercial vehicles, while also extending the power range.
During their development the focus was on a significant reduction in fuel consumption (by 14 percent, on average) while simultaneously meeting the EU6 emission limits, as well as a traction capacity oriented torque curve with a noticeable increase in driving performance for the customer. Moreover, the top-of-the-range engine features a newly developed dual-stage turbocharger layout.
To undercut the legal requirements for NOx and particle raw emissions for the EU6 emissions standard, it uses not only a common-rail system with 2,000 bar injection pressure, but also a new low-temperature/high-pressure exhaust gas recirculation system and a water-cooled charge air cooler. In addition, a variable intake manifold guarantees the necessary flow swirl when running at partial load. Exhaust gas aftertreatment is accomplished by an oxidation catalyst with a downstream combination of diesel particulate filter and SCR catalytic converter.
At present, four versions of the engine cover a power range of 62 kW (84 PS) to 150 kW (204 PS) and a torque range of 220 to 450 Nm. With a specific power output of over 76 kW and a specific torque of over 225 Nm per litre of displacement (plus approx. 13 percent), this new Transporter engine is the «benchmark» in its segment. The starting torque has also increased disproportionately, which clearly demonstrates the advantages of the VTG high-pressure stage within the biturbo charging unit.
Best-in-class values in terms of driving enjoyment and driving dynamics – alongside adequate power – are ensured by beefy torque curves and superior move-off characteristics over the entire rpm range, with a turbocharger with variable turbine geometry (VTG) being used for the performance levels up to 110 kW. For the top-of-the-range engine with 150 kW, the existing two-stage charging was completely redesigned and augmented by another variable turbine geometry in the high pressure stage.

Tendría sentido el rumor de producir el A1 en Martorell. 27 mayo, 2015 a las 22:11Lamborghini confirma la producción de un SUV para 2018
New Lamborghini SUV: Production in Sant’Agata Bolognese and investment of hundreds of millions of EurosNota de prensa, en inglés
Rome/Sant’Agata Bolognese, 2015-05-27
Lamborghini prepares for a new eraAutomobili Lamborghini announces a luxury SUV as a third model to join its product range. The market introduction of the series model is planned for 2018. A concept of the car was first presented as the Lamborghini Urus in 2012 at the Beijing auto show.
The new vehicle will be produced in Sant’Agata Bolognese and will herald additional growth and significant opportunities across the marque with the expansion of the product range. It will also determine a substantial increase in the production capacity of the factory. Over the lifecycle of the new vehicle the company will invest hundreds of millions of Euros.
The project will be realized due to the joint commitment of several parties involved, including Volkswagen Group with AUDI AG as Lamborghini shareholder, the Italian Ministry of Economic Development, Invitalia (Italian national agency for inward investments and economic development), Emilia Romagna Region, the Union Representatives and the entire Automobili Lamborghini team.
Automobili Lamborghini President and CEO Stephan Winkelmann declares: “This is a proud moment for everybody in Lamborghini. The introduction of a third model line endorses the stable and sustainable growth of the company and signifies for us the beginning of a new era.”
He adds: “The new SUV will be made in Sant’Agata Bolognese, demonstrating our commitment to safeguarding the values of ‘Made in Italy’ worldwide.”
Production of the new Lamborghini SUV in Sant’Agata Bolognese will see significant development of the factory site, increasing from the current 80,000 square meters to an area covering ca. 150,000 square meters. The project will include the construction of new facilities, such as a new production line, warehousing and enlargement of the R&D department. The addition of a third model line will also provide important opportunities for the supplier network in Italy and internationally, and have a strong impact on human resources: Lamborghini intends to hire 500 new employees.
Rupert Stadler, Chairman of the Board of Management Audi AG states: “Lamborghini, Italdesign Giugiaro and Ducati have developed very successfully under Audi parentage, and kept their Italian identity. With the decision to produce the Lamborghini SUV in Sant’ Agata Bolognese we have proven once more our commitment to Italy as an important automotive industrial nation.”
Luca de Meo, Board Member for Sales and Marketing Audi AG underlines: “Lamborghini is today one of the world’s most exclusive brands. We at Audi are very proud of all our Italian subsidiaries. I am delighted at this outcome for both Lamborghini and Italy, and thank the Italian government for their collaboration in helping to make this possible.”
A luxury SUV sees Lamborghini challenging an unexploited, fast-growing and fascinating car segment, and expanding its clientele significantly. These will include Lamborghini super sports car customers who to date have driven SUV models from other brands, as well as families and customers new to the Lamborghini marque. Distribution of volumes will be well balanced among the three major sales regions: EMEA, the Americas and Asia Pacific. Target markets will be primarily the USA, China, the Middle East, United Kingdom, Germany and Russia. The annual volumes will be around 3,000 vehicles and will double the company’s current sales performance.
