MODULAR EFFICIENCY PLATFORM
The Audi modular efficiency platform groups together all
technologies that promote the further reduction of fuel
consumption and CO2 emissions. It features an array of build-
ing blocks in many different areas of technology that are
being steadily refined and elaborated. The efficiency tech-
nologies are gradually transferred to our cars in the form of
product improvements and at model changeovers. For example,
the cylinder on demand technology that can improve fuel
efficiency by up to 20 percent by deactivating cylinders is
already available on three different engines. The predictive
efficiency assistant (PEA), which will be launched together
with the new Q7, provides anticipatory advice that helps the
driver adopt an economical driving style. In combination with
adaptive cruise control, the speed is automatically adjusted
to comply with speed limits or on bends, for example.
