In his concluding presentation, Volkswagen head of powertrain development, Heinz-Jakob Neusser noted 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,” said Neusser.
“Moreover, customers demand models with reduced consumption and lower emissions and politics also makes high demands on the automotive industry.
“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.
