VOLKSWAGEN OFFERS INNOVATIVE CLEAN DIESEL

TECHNOLOGY IN TOUAREG V6 TDI One of the most fuel efficient and cleanest SUVs in the world

HERNDON, Va. — Volkswagen’s new technologically innovative and environmentally

responsible Touareg V6 TDI is one of the most fuel efficient and cleanest SUVs in the

world, and it will be available for U.S. consumers in Spring 2009. The Touareg V6 TDI

defines a completely new generation of extremely economical and low emission SUVs

and reinforces Volkswagen’s leadership in Clean Diesel technology with the most

sensible alternative fuel powerplants available today.

The Touareg V6 TDI Clean Diesel is powered by a 3.0L, turbocharged six

cylinder engine that produces 225 horsepower and an impressive 407 lbs-ft. of torque.

Utilizing third generation common rail injection and the most advanced catalytic

converter system in the world, it meets Tier 2, Bin 5/ULEV II standards and will be

available in all 50 states.

Helping the Touareg V6 TDI meet the most stringent emission requirements of

the world is its advanced DeNOx system, just one of the vehicle’s many technical

trademarks. The Touareg V6 TDI is one of the first SUVs in the world to have this

advanced type of catalytic converter on board. Its job is to convert nitrogen oxide (NOx)

components of the exhaust gas into nitrogen and water without forming any undesirable

side products. The nitrogen oxides are converted in the DeNOX catalyst using a

synthetically produced aqueous solution of urea known as AdBlue, which is transported

on the Touareg V6 TDI in a four and a half gallon auxiliary tank located under the spare

tire. The urea-based solution is continuously sprayed into the exhaust gas stream

upstream of the DeNOx catalyst. It is metered according to the mass flow rate of the

exhaust gas, and the engine management system provides for precise control based on

information from a NOx sensor downstream of the DeNOx catalyst. Finely atomized by

a screen, the urea is transformed in the hot exhaust gases upstream of the DeNOx

catalyst. In the DeNOx catalyst, it reacts with the nitrogen oxides and splits them into

nitrogen and water, reducing the NOx emissions by up to 90 percent. The AdBlue

additive is nontoxic, odorless and biodegradable.

The third-generation common rail fuel injection system makes the Touareg V6

TDI one of the most fuel efficient SUVs in the world. With a new high pressure pump

design, the system builds up a pressure of 2,000 bar or approximately 29,000 psi. The

piezo fuel injectors also have been modified for the Touareg V6 TDI. Their smaller

eight-hole nozzles inject fuel into the combustion chambers in miniscule volumes. This

new design and high-pressure pump make fuel injection even more precise and dynamic,

a major factor in the engine’s fuel efficiency.

The Touareg V6 TDI delivers excellent fuel economy figures. On the highway it

attains an impressive 25 mpg according to EPA ratings. With a fuel tank capacity of 26.4

gallons, that equates to a driving range of more than 600 miles to the tank, all while

emitting fewer emissions.

The 2009 Touareg V6 TDI can be equipped with two new technologically advanced

safety systems. An optional Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) system automatically brakes

(to a complete stop if necessary) and accelerates the Touareg V6 TDI within a speed

range preset by the driver. The forward collision warning ACC system lightens the

driver’s work by active braking and acceleration, which enhances driving comfort —

especially during long expressway trips. Once set, the ACC setting can be temporarily

deactivated as soon as the driver depresses the brake pedal.

The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety found in a study released last Spring

that forward collision warnings, like ACC available on the Touareg, showed potential to

avoid or mitigate crashes. The Institute said such systems could be relevant to more than

Page 3: 2009 Volkswagen Touareg V6 TDI Media Informationfilecache.drivetheweb.com/mr4enh_vw/480/download/toureg.pdf · synthetically produced aqueous solution of urea known as AdBlue, which

2 million frontal crashes that occur each year and account for more occupant fatalities

than any other kind of crash.

Another driver assistance safety system being offered is the optional Side Scan

lane change assistant. This system monitors areas behind and next to the Touareg TDI

via radar sensors in the rear bumper, one sensor on each the right and left side of the rear

bumper, and signals a potential collision via a warning light located in the outside mirror

housing. If the Side Scan system detects a critical situation to the left or right of the

Touareg TDI without the driver having activated the turn signal to indicate a lane change,

a warning lamp in the mirror housing is lit. If the driver does activate the turn signal to

indicate a lane change and the system detects that the lane is occupied, the lamp flashes

four times to draw attention to the potential hazard.

Like the rest of the Touareg line-up, the Touareg V6 TDI interior creates an

environment that is visually pleasing, modern, and as meticulously detailed as anything

found in the luxury utility category.

High quality materials; tactile, low-gloss surfaces; and rich luxurious colors are

combined with superb fit and finish. While pleasing and modern to the eye, the interior

also follows the traditional Volkswagen design philosophy that form must always follow

function. An instrument cluster with an optional color enhanced display screen provides a

wealth of information and customization for the true driver.

Luxury seating with a standard 12-way power driver’s seat makes it easy to find

just the right seating position for optimum driving comfort. Individual controls are

intuitively grouped and incorporate manageable buttons and controls, a fact clearly

conveyed in the compact center console arrangement that includes a standard dual-zone

system that can be set at constant temperature.

Like all Volkswagens, the Touareg V6 TDI includes the Prevent and Preserve

Safety System, consisting of more than 45 safety features. As standard equipment, the

Touareg V6 TDI includes six airbags (dual-stage front; dual front side thorax; and side

curtains); seatbelt pretensioners at all outboard seating positions; and three-point safety

belts with emergency locking retractors at all seating positions as well as load limiters in

the front. An advanced tire pressure monitoring system also is standard equipment as is

an intelligent crash response system.

The Touareg V6 TDI comes standard equipped with the Electronic Stabilization

Program (ESP). This is important because the National Highway and Traffic Safety

Administration (NHTSA) has reported that ESP results in 35 percent fewer single-vehicle

crashes and 30 percent fewer single-vehicle fatalities in passenger cars. Volkswagen is

one of the only original equipment manufacturers to provide an electronic stability

control system on its entire product line as standard equipment — ahead of NHTSA’s

deadline requiring vehicles in the 2012 model year to include stability control systems.

ESP compares the driver’s intended course with the vehicle’s actual direction; if ESP

detects a discrepancy, ESP automatically brakes individual front or rear wheels and/or

reduces engine power as needed in certain driving circumstances to help maintain

directional control.

The 2009 Touareg V6 TDI comes with 24-hour Roadside Assistance for three years

or 36,000 miles (whichever occurs first) plus new vehicle warranties including:

• Five-year/60,000 mile (whichever occurs first) Powertrain Limited Warranty.

• Three-year/36,000 mile (whichever occurs first) New Vehicle Limited Warranty

with wear and tear items and adjustments.

• 12-year unlimited distance Limited Warranty against corrosion perforation.

The Touareg V6 TDI, like all 2009 model year Volkswagens, is included in the no-

charge Carefree Maintenance Program. Under this program all of the Touareg’s

scheduled maintenance, as described in its maintenance booklet, is covered for the length

of the New Vehicle Warranty — three years or 36,000 miles, whichever occurs first.

Since all current Volkswagens, including Touareg, use synthetic oil, combined with state-

of-the-art German engineering, a 5,000 mile oil change no longer is necessary. This

means that like all current Volkswagen owners, Touareg drivers can drive farther

between oil changes.

exhaust emissions by up to 90%. In this regard, the air that the engine exhausts is cleaner than

the air it breathes in.

The TDI engine features the most successful efficiency technology in the world. Volkswagen

has more than 30 years experience in the development of diesel engines. The ultra-low sulfur

fuel that powers the engine was introduced nationwide in 2006.

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency has determined that the United States could conserve

more than 500 million barrels of crude oil per year if just one third of all passenger cars and light

commercial vehicles were equipped with modern diesel engines. Leading market research

companies such as JD Power predict a share of the U.S. market of between 12 and 15 perfect for

diesel engines – a large increase when compared with the current share of sales of about 5

percent.

In the end, diesel is good, clean fun:

• Better fuel economy than gasoline engines means high mileage.

• About 25% less greenhouse gases than gasoline engines.

• NOx reduced by 95% and particulate emissions by more than 90%.

• About 30% higher torque than gas engines.

• Towing power and endurance.

The Touareg 3.0L TDI In Detail: Clean driving the Volkswagen way

The worldwide trend toward increased individual mobility and environmental sustainability,

demands efficient, environmentally friendly transportation solutions. Volkswagen engineers are

working on a variety of powerplants from hybrids and fuel cells, to the latest in Clean Diesels.

Diesel developments can present what at first appear to be contradictory requirements – reduced

fuel consumption, fewer emissions, more power, more torque, and better responsiveness. With

its new TDI diesels, Volkswagen has reconciled these requirements – realizing reductions in

emissions while at the same time boosting performance and efficiency. This has been

accomplished by effective integration of engine design, engine management, injection systems

and exhaust gas after-treatment.

The 3.0L TDI

A durable powerhouse of an engine operates under the hood of the Touareg 3.0L TDI. In the

style of the classic American small block, the three liter V6 produces an impressive 221 hp and

407 lb/ft of torque. The diesel engine produces 137 lb/ft per liter of displacement – a level that

far surpasses that of the gasoline engine. This maximum level of pulling power is available at

1,750 to 2,750 rpm – providing the driver with a spirited power surge in all ranges.

The four valve engine is extremely compact – measuring only 440 millimeters (17.3 inches) in

length. The cylinder housing that features a 90 degree cylinder angle is constructed from high

strength vermicular graphite cast iron, which is 15 perfect lighter in weight than conventional

cast iron. Despite its unsurpassed strength, the powerful TDI engine weighs a mere 498.2

pounds. Its auxiliaries and camshafts are driven by maintenance free chains that run in a space

saving position in back of the engine. Low friction roller cam followers with hydraulic valve

Page 8: 2009 Volkswagen Touareg V6 TDI Media Informationfilecache.drivetheweb.com/mr4enh_vw/480/download/toureg.pdf · synthetically produced aqueous solution of urea known as AdBlue, which

clearance compensation work in the cylinder head. The four-valve technology ensures optimum

filling of cylinders in every situation. Quickstart heater plugs are adapted to extremely cold

temperatures – they heat up to more than 1,800 degrees Fahrenheit within the space of two

seconds, helping make starting easier.

Common rail system for quiet operation

The heart of this clean, highly efficient engine is a common-rail fuel injection system that uses

fast, precise electronically controlled piezo electric fuel injectors, rather than a traditional

mechanical system. The fuel is pressurized along the common rail and is fed directly in to the

combustion chamber. This technology allows higher injection pressures (pressure output

measures 2,000 bar/29,000 psi) which better atomize the fuel, enhance performance with more

efficient combustion and make it easier to control emissions.

The common rail system relies on highly precise rapidly switching piezo injectors, which have

75 percent fewer moving components and mass, allowing them to switch at two times the speed

of previous solenoid-valve injectors. This allows the piezo injectors to significantly lower diesel

emissions, increase the achievable engine power and noticeably lower engine noise achieved by

an even pressure and temperature increase in the combustion chamber.

The injectors in the common rail system employ the piezo effect (the production of electricity

when stress is applied), in which an electric voltage is applied to a special ceramic, altering its

crystal structures. This results in a certain amount of expansion, which is transferred directly to

the injectors. (The word piezo is derived from the Greek piezein, which means to squeeze or

press.)

Multiple injection events per cycle

With piezo injectors, the number of injection processes per cycle can be varied and optimized

almost at will. In the lower speed range, additional double pilot injection occurs in addition to

the main injection process; in the medium range there’s a single pilot injection. Simple post

injection occurs up to around 2,500 rpm and under partial load. This strategy reduces emissions

and ensures a smoother combustion process, which primarily benefits the engine’s acoustic

behavior. The 3.0 TDI produces a quiet, cultivated and harmonious sound. The hard “knocking”

and metallic rattling at partial load is history.

The V6 TDI features a turbocharger with variable turbine geometry on board. This improves

propulsive power at low rpms. Its vanes are guided by an electric servo motor.. Two large

intercoolers reduce the temperature of the compressed air in order to increase the overall

efficiency.

Ultra low emission system

The ultra low emission system combines a complete package of innovative features, including

the new common rail system with piezo injectors and optimized turbocharging, described above,

plus highly efficient exhaust gas recirculation all of which reduces engine emissions.

Another technical breakthrough is the cleaning system in the exhaust gas system, which reduces

nitrous oxide emissions by up to 90 percent. AdBlue, a liquid 32.5 percent urea solution, which

Page 9: 2009 Volkswagen Touareg V6 TDI Media Informationfilecache.drivetheweb.com/mr4enh_vw/480/download/toureg.pdf · synthetically produced aqueous solution of urea known as AdBlue, which

is sprayed in small amounts into the DeNOx catalyst, aids this process. In the hot exhaust, the

solution breaks down into ammonia, converting nitrogen oxide (NOx) components of the exhaust

gas into nitrogen and water without forming any undesirable side products. The urea based

solution is metered according to the mass flow rate of the exhaust gas; the engine management

system provides for precise control based on information from a NOx sensor downstream of the

SCR catalytic converter. The urea additive is non-toxic, odorless and biodegradable.

The complete system consists of the DeNOx catalyst, a dosing module and the AdBlue tank.

The solution has a freezing point of 12 degrees Fahrenheit, which is why the tank system is

heated in extremely cold conditions. The control sensors are also highly elaborate: two NOx

sensors measure the concentration of nitrous oxide, which all functions are monitored with

pressure and temperature sensors. The AdBlue tank is located under the spare tire.

Total convenience for the customers

The biodegradable AdBlue solution is refilled at the dealership at a regular maintenance interval,

without requiring the customer to concern themselves.

TDI engines feature high propulsive power

The greatest strength of TDI diesel engines is their tremendous torque. Their propulsive power

makes these diesel engines clearly superior to any comparable gasoline engine. This mighty

power is also available at extremely low revs – just a little over idle speed – as a smooth but

insistently applied impulse that requires only the slightest pressure on the accelerator.

In sharp contrast to many stressed, high revving gasoline engines, the propulsive power is always

available when it’s needed – and this contributes to a highly composed, relaxed style of driving.

TDI engines are quiet and comfortable

The modern direct injection diesel engines from Volkswagen are hardly perceptible to the ears of

their passengers – their operation is virtually indistinguishable from that of a gasoline engine.

Electronic Stabilization Program Technology Backgrounder

All 2009 Volkswagens come standard equipped with Electronic Stabilization Program (ESP). ESP has been called the most important safety device since the safety belt and the most important safety advance of this generation. To paraphrase one auto writer, “it’s like having a guardian angel as your co-pilot.” ESP Snapshot

• Helps prevent oversteer and understeer (fishtailing). • Uses technology applied in the Stealth aircraft to keep it aloft to measure the spin

of the vehicle. • Applies computer technology to help the driver maintain control. • NHTSA research found ESC could save 10,000 lives a year.

ESC Advantage

Multiple studies from the U.S., Europe and Asia have concluded that vehicles equipped with ESC have in the range of 35 percent fewer crashes. NHTSA studies conducted specifically in the U.S. concluded that passenger cars equipped with ESC experienced a 30 percent reduction in fatal single vehicle crashes. The same study concluded that SUVs equipped with ESC experienced a 63 percent reduction in fatal single-vehicle crashes. The NHTSA research saw a reduction in crashes that also involve a rollover by more than 70 percent. The studies conducted by NHTSA and others reached similar findings when it came to reducing the incidence of crashes overall: vehicles equipped with ESC saw a significant net reduction in crashes. The agency predicts that ESC could save 10,500 lives and prevent between 168,000 and 252,000 injuries every year. That equates to more than $40 billion savings in economic losses in the U.S. alone. One independent study conducted in 2006 by the prestigious Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) concluded that ESC could prevent nearly one-third of all fatal crashes and reduce the risk of rolling over by as much as 80 percent. ESP takes advantage of the great advances in electronics that have occurred in the past 20 years to be in the vanguard of active or primary safety systems. ESP is the sum of three functions — antilock brakes that enable individual braking and control at the four comers

ESP is a vehicle control system comprised of sensors and a microcomputer that continuously monitors how well a vehicle responds to the driver’s steering input and selectively applies individual brakes and modulates engine power to help keep the vehicle traveling along the path indicated by the steering wheel position. If an unstable condition develops — such as a sudden evasive maneuver or going too fast through the curve of a freeway exit ramp — within a fraction of a second, ESC intervenes via engine electronics and the brake system to help align the vehicle with where the driver is pointing the vehicle.
