Australian auto makers have steadily improved fuel efficiency while lowering carbon-dioxide emissions, but consumer choices “ultimately will determine the fleet’s CO2 profile,” an industry official says.
The auto maker adds volume production of a 5-door VW Up! today, followed by 5-door versions of the other models in its New Small Family lineup – the Skoda Citigo and SEAT Mii.
The auto maker says it is accelerating the adoption of direct-injection engines because they improve power output and fuel efficiency at the same time.
