Volkswagen is the official vehicle sponsor for Energy Week 2014

Volkswagen has been appointed the official car sponsor for the 7^th annual Singapore International Energy Week (SIEW), to be held from the 27^th to the 31^st of October 2014. With the theme 'Building Energy Connections', the event will feature a lineup of conferences, exhibitions and networking events.

Over 10,000 delegates from some 60 countries are expected to attend SIEW 2014, which will be held at the Sands Expo & Convention Centre. VIPs will be chauffeured around Singapore in a total of 45 Volkswagen cars comprising 30 units of the Sharan 2.0-litre TSI and 15 units of the Passat 1.8-litre TSI.

These cars will be pre-sold to customers, with attractive discounts of up to $35,000. Buyers will be able to take delivery of the low-mileage event cars from 10^th November 2014, with registration to be done just before delivery to customers, as the event cars will be running on special plates during the course of SIEW.

Both Volkswagen models have extremely low fuel consumption and CO₂ emissions. The Sharan, for instance, consumes only 11.9km/L - an outstanding figure considering the Sharan is a full-sized MPV that accommodates seven.

Globally, the Volkswagen Group has great commitment to setting ecological standards, as shown by the Dow Jones Sustainability Index. This important sustainability ranking listed Volkswagen in first place in 2013. The company aims to reduce energy and water consumption, as well as CO₂ emissions, by 25 percent by 2018.
