• Group presents to Angela Merkel the new Golf blue-e-motion with E-drive
• Audi and Porsche show sports car world of tomorrow to federal government
• Germany initiates “National Platform for Electric Mobility” in Berlin

Tomorrow, at the Brandenburg Gate in Berlin, German Chancellor Dr. Angela Merkel will be viewing a top-notch range of future electric and hybrid vehicles from the Volkswagen Group at an event marking the founding of the “National Platform for Electric Mobility” – a new alliance dedicated to promoting sustainable mobility. The German Chancellor will have the opportunity to view the Golf blue-e-motion – at its world’s first public showing − and will also see the Berlin Taxi that is as compact as it is cleverly designed. Audi and Porsche are presenting two innovative sports car concepts to the government leader – the Audi e-tron and the Porsche 918 Spyder. The range of electric cars on display will reflect the Group’s broadly based expertise in electric mobility. At the same time, these cars excite expectations for the future and the world of tomorrow, which – and a glance at the Golf blue-e-motion, the Berlin Taxi, the e-tron and the 918 Spyder illustrate this well – will in large measure be powered with zero emissions, but will certainly not generate zero passion for driving.
