Audi Delivers Efficient Fuel Technologies to the Nation's Leading Women's Conference
AUBURN HILLS, MI - In an effort to bring the issue of efficient fuel technologies to more than 14,000 women expected to attend the 2007 Women's Conference in Long Beach, California , Audi of America today announced its participation in the nation's leading conference on women.
The Cleanest of Diesels
As early as next year, Audi will be putting the cleanest diesel engine in the world into production in the US: the 3.0 TDI with ultra low emission system will initially be available for the Audi Q7.
The 3.0 TDI fulfills the toughest emission standard in the world -- the LEV II Bin 5 classification, which is operative in the US states of California, New York, Massachusetts, Maine and Vermont.
This high-tech diesel from Audi also already complies with the emission limits that are due to come into force in Europe from 2014. |
This year's theme, "Remarkable Lives. Remarkable Legacies. What's Yours?" encourages women worldwide to think about their own legacies. Audi will host the "Living Green" panel discussion, which will be hosted by Dr. Hackenberg-Wiedl, head of Audi Diesel Powertrain Product Management. Attendees will hear firsthand how individual driving behavior can impact fuel consumption by 30 percent. The discussion is designed to inspire attendees to think about their individual environmental legacy and provides an overview of technologies and tools to help participants reduce their own carbon footprint. She will also highlight the integrated fuel-reduction strategy of Audi including the high-tech TDI engines with ultra-low emission system which is also displayed at the Audi booth on the main floor, where Audi will also showcase the new Q7 3.0 TDI with ultra-low emission system, the cleanest diesel engine in the world.
"The Women's Conference is an incredible opportunity for Audi to educate women on the impact their automobile decisions have on the environment," said Johan de Nysschen, executive vice president in charge of Audi of America. "Women are powerful consumers and decision-makers in their households -- thus assuming a double responsibility to make sustainable choices. The conference allows us to showcase our pioneering technologies and fuel-reducing solutions while providing a platform for women to learn how they can individually make a difference."
