Following the Volkswagen Beetle and Golf, the third strategically important chapter in the history of the brand begins with the ID. 3. This vehicle is technically based on the MEB modular e-drive platform. MEB makes it possible to offer e-mobility to mass markets.

The special edition ID.3 1ST configured for the ID.3 market launch includes high-quality, powerful features with a range of 420 kilometres (WLTP). The three battery sizes available in the series offer ranges from 330 to 550 kilometres. The supply chain, battery manufacturing and vehicle production are all geared towards CO₂ neutrality. This includes, for example, consistent use of electricity from renewable resources. Unavoidable emissions from the manufacturing process are compensated by certified climate projects.

If we are yearning for a sports car in which performance and comfort, dynamics and efficiency come together, not as opposites but as one unit, then there can be only one solution: the Panamera*.

As a Sport Turismo, the new Panamera* goes one step further – and not only in terms of design. Instead of looking for compromises, it combines professional life, family, leisure and driving pleasure in a dynamic blend of 4+1 seater with plenty of head and leg room and a generous luggage compartment – for your business files, carbon racing bike and luggage. Or for that meeting with a particularly important person: you.

With the new generation, the sports car among luxury saloons goes one step further. When it comes to performance in particular, it sets a new benchmark in the form of the Panamera Turbo S E-Hybrid*. Its combination of combustion engine and electric machine delivers a breathtaking 500 kW (680 hp) and maximum torque of 850 Nm – for incomparable starting performance and adrenaline levels that reach new heights.

Audi e-tron*, the first of the new e-quartet, has been available for delivery since March. The SUV combines the space and comfort of a typical luxury class automobile with a range suitable for everyday use.

Die Zukunft von Audi ist elektrisch – schon heute. Seit März ist mit dem Audi e-tron* das erste vollelektrische Serienmodell der Marke auf der Straße. Der Name e-tron steht bei der Marke mit den vier Ringen für alle Fahrzeuge, die rein elektrisch fahren. Auf dem Genfer Automobilsalon 2019 zeigte die Marke vier Autos mit reinem Elektroantrieb, die bis Ende 2020 ihre Premiere in der Serienversion feiern.

The result of a collaboration between Ducati and Thok Ebikes, with design and graphics by Aldo Drudi’s D-Perf and the support of the Ducati Design Center.

E-mountainbikes let cyclists take on climbs that, without the motor boost, wouldn’t be possible and, at the same time, they allow everyone to live the off-road on two wheels in total freedom. E-mtbs sales are booming worldwide. Ducati has now entered this market segment relying on the experience of a specialized company, Thok Ebikes, born from the passion of the BMX and Down Hill champion Stefano Migliorini.

It features some unique technical solutions: wheels with different diameters and suspension set-ups with different degrees of wheel travel (29″ and 170 mm at the front, 27.5″ and 160 mm at the rear) that make it a true enduro that meets the needs of even the most demanding rider.

The design of the VISION E* study displays distinctive characteristics of the ŠKODA design language for electric vehicles. The opposed-opening doors and four individual swivel seats are striking features. Wing mirrors are a thing of the past – cameras relay what is happening around the car onto screens. The VISION E* deliberately forgoes the B-pillar in favour of an even more generous feeling of space.

In the bright interior, four rotatable single seats and the missing central tunnel ensure a generous sense of space. The seats are slightly elevated, and so ensure a good view. They can also be rotated by 20 degrees. When the doors are opened, the seats swing outwards, making getting in and out easier. After the counter-opening doors have been electrically closed, the seats return to their original position. The concept vehicle introduces this new ‘Simply Clever’ idea that provides additional comfort thanks to its ergonomically optimized design and mechanics. The front seats can be reclined and the steering wheel raised to provide maximum space utilization and comfort.

For the last year, SEAT has been putting the fully-electric pre-production version of its compact car, the Mii*, through its paces in the big-city environment of Barcelona. The eMii* is destined to set new benchmarks in urban transport: Small, manoeuvrable, practical and clean, thanks to its battery-powered powertrain. The powerful electric engine also ensures that it is a joy to drive.

The new e-Crafter* is Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles’ first ever electric-only vehicle. Developed especially for couriers, express delivery services and package services, the delivery van combines a payload of up to 1.7 t with a range of 173 km and the ideal vehicle attributes for urban stop-and-go traffic.

The powerful 100 kW electric motor produces a maximum torque of 290 from a standstill. This is more than enough to pick up plenty of speedy and weave your way into busy city traffic.

Instead of a combustion engine, the engine compartment is home to a highly compact and a far lighter electric motor that creates almost zero emissions. But those are not the only advantages. Electric motors are also exceptionally quiet and require much less maintenance. From parked, they deliver a consistent level of torque across the entire speed range. In addition, the new e-Crafter* also accelerates faster, especially in the first 60 m, and entirely without interruption thanks to the 1-gear automatic transmission.

Thanks to the Combined Charging System (CCS), the lithium-ion batteries can be charged using both AC and DC power. This means you can charge your vehicle at public CSS quick-charging stations or your business’ own wallbox.

Intelligent, Experience-Enhancing Technology

At the heart of the Bentayga Hybrid* are two power sources – a highly efficient electric motor and a new turbocharged 3.0-litre V6 petrol engine. The E Motor acts as both an electric motor and a generator to offer a seamless driving experience and guaranteeing maximum electric-only range.

The Hybrid adds a new dimension to the existing range of luxury Bentayga models**. It features all the flexibility associated with the W12, V8 Diesel and V8 derivatives, with the same sure-footed permanent four-wheel drive and four on-road modes – Sport, Bentley, Comfort and Custom.

The Automatic Start-Stop switch is replaced with a control for the three E Modes – EV Drive, Hybrid Mode and Hold Mode. These will enable the driver to manage battery usage during a journey.
