PioneeringSpiritandInnovativeStrength| 17
Innovative engines for cars and com-
mercial vehicles are the most effective
lever to achieve signicant reductions
in consumption of fossil fuels and
emissions already today. We are forging
ahead with the development of gasoline
and diesel engines – for an even higher
pulse rate with regard to efciency,
economy and ecology.
