SINGAPORE, Nov. 19 /PRNewswire-Asia/
--
Audi Singapore is firmly behind the
Singapore International Week 2010 and fully committed to delivering
top of the class performance in energy efficiency and
technology.
Delegates attending the Singapore
International Energy Week (SIEW) will be happy to know that not
only is the fleet of Audi A6 2.0 TFSI sedans and Audi Q7 3.0 TDI
shuttling them comfortable, these cars also rank among the most
fuel efficient models in their respective segments with their
highly sophisticated direct-injection engines and technologies
designed to maximise energy efficiency.
Reinhold Carl, Managing Director of
Audi Singapore, says: "Audi takes a holistic approach towards
environmental concerns. Using the very best technologies, the cars
deliver the performance expected of an Audi at the best efficiency
levels. This is what we offer today and we’ll continue to deliver
on this promise in the future."
Martin Freudenhagen, the head of
project management for Audi's A-segment who is in Singapore for the
event, says: "We have a whole host of possibilities on hand, from
further refining the combustion engine to extracting greater
efficiencies to varying degree of electrification, to create cars
that will answer the needs of today, as well as tomorrow."
Lending a peek into the future is
the Audi e-tron specially brought in for the Clean Energy Expo Asia
(CEEA) 2010, an event under the umbrella of SIEW. With four
electric motors powering the wheels -- making it a true quattro,
and lightweight construction based on the Audi Space Frame (ASF)
technology, the Audi e-tron achieves 0 - 100 km/h in just 4.8
seconds and has a range of approximately 248 kilometres on a single
charge. The progressive innovation, technologies and concepts
introduced in the e-tron underscore Audi’s ethos
of Vorsprung durch Technik.
The Audi e-tron is on display 2 - 4
November at the Sustainable Mobility pavilion in the CEEA 2010 at
Suntec Exhibition Hall 401.
