info@drive-volkswagen-group.comFollowing in the footsteps of the Beetle and Golf, the ID. family represents the third major chapter in Volkswagen brand history. What exactly is behind it – and especially beneath it – can be seen in DRIVE starting on September 9th. Our model of the MEB modular e-drive platform shows the technical groundwork for the electrification of Volkswagen Group brands. This system of coordinated components is what makes mass production of electric vehicles efficient. The MEB is a truly unique attribute that shows how Volkswagen is resolutely paving the way to e-mobility.
People in Berlin can now drive electric vehicles every day. A fleet of WeShare e-Golfs has been part of the cityscape since late June. DRIVE is where you can learn more about Volkswagen’s all-electric car sharing service. This eco-sustainable mobility solution combines environment-friendly driving with electrical power from renewable sources.
Once again in September, DRIVE will be showcasing a selection of today’s – and tomorrow’s – electric and hybrid vehicles from the Volkswagen Group: Porsche Panamera Turbo S E-Hybrid Sport Turismo*, Volkswagen Passat GTE****, Audi e-tron*****, Volkswagen e-Crafter******, SEAT eMii** and Bentley Bentayga Hybrid***.
* Panamera Turbo S E-Hybrid Sport Turismo – Fuel consumption combined: 3,3 l/100 km, CO₂-emissions combined: 76 g/km, power consumption combined: 18,1 kWh/100 km, Effizenzclass: A+
** SEAT eMii: Prototype
*** Bentley Bentayga Hybrid: Prototype
****Passat GTE Variant – Fuel consumption combined: 1,6 l/100 km, CO₂-emissions combined: 37 g/km, power consumption combined: 15,1 kWh/100 km, Effizenzclass: A+
*****Audi e-tron: Combined electrical consumption in kWh/100 km: 26.2–22.6 (WLTP); 24.6–23.7 (NEDC); Combined CO2 emissions in g/km: 0
*Volkswagen e-Crafter: licensing N1
Fresh from its world premiere at the IAA Frankfurt Motor Show in September, the new e-up!* is now on display in DRIVE. The car’s new battery system increases its range up to 260 kilometres. And charging time is super short. Incidentally, the new IONITY high-power charging station also debuted at the IAA and is now in the DRIVE exhibition. Operation of the first parks with this system was launched in October in Denmark. IONITY is expanding its charging network to 400 stations in Europe by the end of 2020.
e-up!: combined power consumption (kWh/100 km): 12,9-12,7; CO₂ emissions combined: 0g/km; Efficiency class: A+
Information in accordance with directive 1999/94/EC as amended: further information on the official fuel consumption and the official specific CO2 emissions of new cars can be found in the ‘Guide on the fuel economy, CO2 emissions and power consumption of all new passenger car models’ available free of charge at all points of sale in Germany and from DAT Deutsche Automobil Treuhand GmbH, Hellmuth-Hirth-Strasse 1, D-73760 Ostfildern, Germany or at www.dat.de.
Light is an element that vehicle designers from the Volkswagen Group brands will be working with in the coming years. Lights will be used for communication and interaction in the next generation of cars. For example, the headlights will blink to greet the owner when he or she approaches the vehicle. Lights breathe life into the modern automobile.
The clay model is an important step in the design process of a car. A plasticine model of the new ID.3 will be on display in DRIVE November 4th. Clay models enable designers to check the digitally generated 3D form under real-life conditions. Styling lines, surfaces and details can be refined to achieve the level of precision required by Volkswagen. The model is then covered with a special film to simulate a painted surface. This makes it possible to evaluate the vehicle shape under different lighting conditions.
ID.3: The vehicle is a near-production prototype.
Micromobility is the keyword for Volkswagen Group brands when it comes to compact, emission-free modes of transport for the last mile. The “Volkswagen electric” exhibition presented by DRIVE showcases agile everyday companions that have the potential to make a sustainable difference in the way we use mobility. Featured exhibits include the Audi UMO e-scooter, Volkswagen Streetmate e-scooter and the electric Cargo e-Bike from Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles.
Roll the film! DRIVE showcases the latest Volkswagen Group themes and the company’s twelve brands. From live broadcasts of trade shows and events, to information on new products and technologies – everything revolves around the future of mobility, which would be inconceivable without e-mobility.
Have a seat and learn everything about the ID. 3* – the forerunner of the newly developed, fully-electric Volkswagen ID. family*. Or join us for a visit to the Volkswagen Center of Excellence, the pilot project for battery cell production in Salzgitter
The DRIVEN BY KIDS digital learning lab is a free media/educational, hands-on project that invites children to discover the world of electric mobility. Young visitors can explore the essential elements of e-mobility. It’s also always fun to play our online memory game for people of all ages. As the name suggests, this game tests your memory.
Our self-study corner is designed for children between the ages of 9 and 12 who, together with their parents, can discover basic principles of electric mobility in a web-based app. The challenge involves independently guiding an on-screen vehicle over different routes and answering quiz questions. The goal is to learn how driving uphill uses more energy, how braking charges the car’s battery, and how cold and other external factors affect an electric vehicle’s range.
The digital programme can be accessed throughout the day on the tablets in the learning lab. It is accompanied by analogue self-learning cards that explain the symbols on the digital routes. Background information on different e-mobility topics is available for adults.
Diversity needs space to unfold. DRIVE continuously reinvents itself with themes that transform the world of mobility into a unique experience. The future has already arrived at DRIVE. This is where the focus will be on the technology of tomorrow.
