of the bionatural gas and natural gas market

Market leader Volkswagen supports other steps to the natural gas mobility

Under leadership of the German energy agency (dena) Volkswagen and other famous enterprises from the automobile branch, natural gas branch and mineral oil branch as well as the federal traffic ministry compile a measure plan to set up natural gas and biomethane (bionatural gas) as a fuel.

Specifically it is about the removal of the natural gas-filling station net and a clear law frame for filling up with natural gas. Since natural gas has the best CO2 balance in comparison to other fossil fuels. dena had proved already in the beginning of 2010 within the scope of a study that the 4-percent aim aimed by the Federal Government is realizable for natural gas and biomethane.

Volkswagen is a German market leader with natural gas vehicles and in Europe further on the advance. Thus every second Passat in Sweden is already a natural gas of operated TSI EcoFuel. The topical Volkswagen range of articles reaches from Passat TSI EcoFuel as a saloon and Variant about Touran TSI EcoFuel as a 5-and 7-seater up to Caddy EcoFuel and Caddy Maxi EcoFuel. All this Volkswagen spare the environment and the purse of the customers. Thus natural gas costs half as a lot of like petrol and one third is more favorable than diesel.

Volkswagen already develops for about two decades of natural gas engines and continues his engagement also in future intensely. „The natural gas drive infers, just with a very high admixture with bionatural gas, high environmental engagement with the lowest maintenance. The technology has completely matured, efficiently, comfortably and economically“, stresses Dr. Jens Hadler, leader of the Volkswagen aggregate development.
